Overview

Overview

Peru is a country in South America that's home to a section of Amazon rainforest and Machu Picchu, an ancient Incan city high in the Andes mountains. The region around Machu Picchu, including the Sacred Valley, Inca Trail and colonial city of Cusco, is rich in archaeological sites. On Peru’s arid Pacific coast is Lima, the capital, with a preserved colonial centre and important collections of pre-Columbian art.

 

Glance

Peru is as complex as its most intricate and exquisite weavings. Festivals mark ancient rites; the urban vanguard fuels innovation and nature bestows splendid diversity.

 

Visa Required

Visas are generally not required for travellers entering Peru. Tourists are permitted a 183-day, non-extendable stay, stamped into passports and onto a tourist card called a Tarjeta Andina de Migración (Andean Immigration Card). Keep it – it must be returned upon exiting the country.
