The fourth biggest town in Peru, Chiclayo benefits from a warm and sunny climate all year round. It's a town that's well worth a visit during your holiday, if not for its climate, then for its architecture and archaeological heritage.
A large town located in the north of the country and at the strategic meeting point of the coast and the Amazon.
My suggestion
The town is reputed for its witches market and also for its so-called shamans, who are happy to tell you everything you want to hear and even to relieve you of some change. Even though the experience can be amusing, be warned!

Chiclayo is famous for its excellent cuisine. Criolla dishes are the town's speciality. I highly recommend you try the Ceviche, a local Peruvian seafood favourite that merits its reputation.
Whilst you are in Peri, you must definitely explore the surroundings of Ica.

Huaraz is the perfect departure point for excursions into both the Cordillera Blanca and the Cordillera Negra. It's in the heights of the Sierra that you will truly discover all the fantastic features that the Ancash region has to offer.
Arriving in Iquitos by air gives a foretaste of what awaits you in the dense jungle. From above, all you see is a thick forest that covers the land as far as the eye can see, where only the river and its tributaries stand out from an immense green carpet.
Located between the Selva and the Cordillera of the Andes, the Huancavélica and Cerro Pasco region will put you under its spell, with its incredible landscapes, the welcoming nature of the local inhabitants and the old traditions that are still very much alive
