Its cultural diversity is manifested through beliefs, traditions and artistic expressions that bear witness to a permanent miscegenation. But there is also a Peru of adventure and extreme experiences; one can go hiking in the Andes mountain range, sandboard in the coastal dunes, rafting in the rivers or trekking on the Inca trail. The nature in Peru is one of the most biodiverse in which the coastal desert, the Andes mountain range and the exuberant Amazon jungle extend, one next to the other, housing an abundant flora and fauna. This makes the country the first place in the world when it comes to species of birds and orchids.

Peru is a destination with many different destinations, you have to see it to believe it.

One day, you may wake up at the foot of Machupicchu, an eternal city declared one of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World. With 10.000 years of history, the country was the seat of the fabulous Inca empire, but, long before that, millennial civilizations bequeathed to the world superb samples of a glorious past like Caral; the Royal Tombs of Sipán, the most lavish burial in America; the enigmatic Nasca lines and the marvellous Kuélap, among others.

Peru is one of the most diverse nations on the planet, featuring 84 of the 117 worlds biodiversity zones. Where one can go from a vast desert to dizzying mountains and lush jungles in a simple breath. An outstanding country with a cuisine that made the great leap to haute cuisine. Thousands of dances and ancestral music instruments that can be seen and heard in the great festivals and processions.

Arequipa and Colca Canyon

Known for its excellent gastronomy and for being the point where you can look from above how condors fly, Arequipa, also known as the white city, sits at the foot of the Misti volcano and on the banks of the Chili River. This vibrant city’s colonial churches and mansions were built in ashlar, a white volcanic stone. The regions beauty with the Valley of the Volcanoes and the Colca and Cotahuasi canyons as well as the cultural heritage here shouldn’t be missed during a stay in Peru.

Cusco

The number one Touristic destination due not only to the historic city but cause of Machupicchu. Cusco used to be the capital of the Tahuantinsuyo empire, inhabited by people from the four suyos (regions) of the Inca confederation. Nowadays, Cusco is mainly the starting point for visits to the Sacred Valley of the Incas as well as the world-famous Machupicchu. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, this site of ancient Inca archaelogical remains is a must visit for all Peru travellers.

Nasca and Palpa Lines

Located in the desert plains of the Rio Grande de Nasca river basin, this is a mysterious gallery of lines and geoglyphs formed by depressions or shallow incisions in southern Peru between 500 BC and 500 AD. More than 800 drawings, naturally preserved by the region’s dry climate, stretching over 450 km² of hot desert sand. In 1994, the lines were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The full dimension of the area can only be seen from the air.

Caral

The origin of Andean culture. Located around 200 km north of Lima, this is the oldest known urban settlement and civilization in the Americas. Caral is situated in the middle of the Supe Valley and was developed at the same time as other great cultures in Egypt, China, and Mesopotamia. The farming techniques and sustainable practices of this sacred city still remain a reference point to this day. Once inhabited by fisherman, farms, artisans and musicians, the place is now in the list of UNESCO World Heritages Sites.

Lima

Peru’s capital used to be a walled city with narrow streets and long balconies, occupied by Limeños enjoying food, life, and an evening filled with board games. Nowadays, only a small part of the City of Kings retains some of these old days, such as the historic centre, the stately palace of Torre Tagle, and the 1610 stone bridge. The city, however, has kept its charm while the inhabitants passionately live by the traditions and their preference for good food. Diverse activities like surfing, swimming with sea lions, urban biking, Peruvian horses show, as well as worldwide recognized museums can also be find here.

Island of Taquile

A fascinating place where men and women learn to weave and knit since their earliest age. The island’s inhabitants knit while they are walking down the streets of the main square, while sitting at the banks of the stunning Titicaca Lake, or even on their way to their farms. Each man who want’s to get married and share in the community’s decision must knit his own chullo hat and, after the wedding, must weave his new wife’s skirt while she prepares a chuspa or cloth bag with the colours of the rainbow. This way, the cultural identity and memory of this peaceful place has been preserved to this day.

Titicaca Lake

World-famous for its floating islands of the Uros as well as for Taquile and Amantani islands where living cultures can still be found, this deep-blue lake is Peru’s Natural Heritage. Located 3.815 meters above sea level, Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world as well as the largest lake in South America. The lake is surrounded by reed beds and offers extraordinary views wherever one looks. In Andean belief, Titicaca is the birthplace of the sun.

Chiclayo and Trujillo

Northern cities well-known for their excellent gastronomy and for being one of the best spots for archaeology hunters. They share the legacy of the Moche and Chimu cultures, builders of the great Chan Chan citadel as well as the Tomb of the Lord of Sipan. This tomb, once created for this very important Mochica warrior priest, reveals incredibly valuable gold and silver objects while the Chan Chan is the largest mud-brick citadel built by a pre-Hispanic civilization in the Americas. In 1986 it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Iquitos and the Amazon Jungle

The Amazon jungle, near Iquitos (North of Peru), is the best place to experience luxury river cruises as well as to get into the deep jungle, sleep in jungle lodges and to watch the wild animals. Special about Iquitos is not just the location in the middle of the tropical rainforest, but also the fact that the city is reachable by boat or plane only. Worth seeing is the notorious Mercado Belén, a vast market as big as a village, which sometimes floats in the Amazon river.

Did you know this fact?

Panama is home to the only place in the world where you can watch the sun rise on the Pacific Ocean and set on the Atlantic Ocean. This unique phenomenon occurs at the country’s narrowest point, known as the “Puerto del Sol” or “Door of the Sun,” where the distance between the Atlantic and Pacific is just 50 miles (80 kilometers).

About Panama

It was on Panamanian soil where Spain founded the first city in the New World: Santa Maria la Antigua at Darién. Ever since, Panama is home to seven different indigenous cultures. The Panama Canal, an 80-kilometer long engineering marvel, which in addition has a spectacular watershed and abundant fauna and flora, is the pride of Panamanians and is greatly admired by visitors. Additionally, five areas of Panama have been declared World Heritage sites by UNESCO.

Panama, this is where valleys and mountains, a “sleeping” volcano, cool mountainous terrains, tropical areas with temperatures averaging 28 degrees Celsius, a desert, lakes and bird watching towers go hand in hand with each other. From the most luxurious hotels and restaurants, to cabins in isolated islands, indigenous cultures and modern, contemporary arts, extreme sports and cultural tours – there’s almost nothing that can’t be found in Panama.
Panama, located at the “heart” of the Americas, serves as an airline hub for connections to any part of the world. It is a safe, stable and friendly country of four million inhabitants and 75.517 square kilometres. Panama means “abundance of fish and butterflies.”

The country impresses with a stunning natural beauty. More than 30% of Panamas land is protected by 15 national parks, 5 forest reservations and 10 wildlife reserves. There are 2 oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic (Caribbean), bordering the country, over 500 islands within its boundaries, mainly located in the Caribbean, as well as hundreds of rivers all across the territory.

Panama possesses 7 of the 12 regions which maintain the balance of the main ecosystems of the world. More species of birds live here than in North America and Canada combined. Also, the country holds world records in the areas of bird watching and sport fishing.

Panama City

Probably the most diverse cosmopolitan city in Central America. Located directly on the Pacific, Panama City offers visitors an unforgettable skyline, a historic old town, tons of restaurants and shopping centres. It is also an ideal starting point for numerous excursions.

Soberanía National Park

With 105 species of mammals, 525 species of birds, 79 of reptiles, 55 of amphibians and 36 species of freshwater fish, the park becomes an important wildlife refuge. The National Park has six nature trails where visitors can interact with the biological diversity of the tropical rainforest and enjoy the natural landscape of this protected area.

San Blas/Guna Yala

With 365 Caribbean islands of which only 50 are inhabited, Guna Yala offers the visitor a paradise of palm trees, white sand and blue water in all nuances. The Guna Indians who live there like to show how they have lived on the islands for centuries.

The Canal

Undeniable one of the great works of world engineering of the 20th century. Since its inauguration in 1914, the Panama Canal marks an artificial 82 km long waterway that connects the Atlantic with the Pacific Ocean. For those traveling in Panama, visiting the locks or even crossing the canal is definitely a must do.

Bocas del Toro

One of the most popular travel destinations due to the Caribbean flair, the picturesque surroundings and the easy accessibility of Costa Rica. Surfing, snorkelling, diving and boat trips are among the main activities in this biodiverse region.

Volcano Valle de Antón

El Valle de Anton is the crater of a volcano. Due to its height of around 600 meters above sea level, the climate is less warm than in the coastal areas. Waterfalls and thermal baths in the primary forest invite you to visit this unique part of Panama.

Portobelo

The town has an important port protected by powerful forts during the Spanish colonial era. The forts are on the list of World Cultural and Natural Heritage by the UNESCO. Nowadays, the impressive ruins are evidence of long-forgotten convulsions with pirates who tried again and again to take the city.

Boquete

The main mountain city of Panama and an active tourism zone par excellence: hiking, climbing, canopy, rafting, horseback riding, bird watching or cycling make this place a paradise for lovers of nature and adventure.

Did you know this fact?

Did you know that Mexico is home to the world’s smallest volcano? Located near the city of Puebla, Cuexcomate measures just 43 feet (13 meters) tall and is considered inactive. Despite its diminutive size, Cuexcomate is a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors the chance to descend into its crater and marvel at its unique geological features.

About Mexico

It is impossible to make a generalization of Mexican beaches or point out characteristics common to all of them. Each is different and has different attractions that make it unique. For each beach, there is a traveller who at that destination finds everything they need to enjoy their vacations to the maximum. Some prefer the energy of the Pacific Ocean, others the calm of the Caribbean and others the deep and infinite blue of the Sea of Cortés.

Mexico’s history offers visitors a wealth of options that are hard to find elsewhere: from archaeological sites and colonial towns to cosmopolitan cities that are as dazzling as the world’s largest metropolis. But Mexico is much more than that: its gastronomy and cultural diversity invite travellers to experience its history, indulge in its cuisine and make their visit an extraordinary experience. Mexico cannot be conceived without the greatness of its pre-Hispanic cultures, which have shaped its history, culture and traditions. Every part of the country is proof of the profound influence of these ancient civilizations that once inhabited the territory. Each one gives a particular flavour to the region where they settled.
Mexico is a postcard country, a series of interpolated pictures of natural views, cosmopolitan cities, colonial places and archaeological zones. Every corner of its vast territory offers unique experiences that the traveller treasures on every crossing, and even when he might suppose that he already knows everything the country has to offer, he will always find some novelty in his itinerary, the recipe for a typical dish, a new landscape, or the route that leads to remote settlements.”

Traveling through Mexico is full of surprises, although there is a constant, which is its people’s passion for service: Mestizo faces and ready smiles that welcome the traveller as an old friend, as eager to share their traditions as to show off the unequalled attractions of their home, their Mexico. And at that moment the magic will have taken hold. The traveller will have been inebriated by a kind of spell that will inevitably make him redirect the compass and plan the next trip, once again – and why not– in Mexican lands.

Isla Mujeres

An island where the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea meet, just 13 kilometres off the coast of Cancún. Isla Mujeres is known for dreamlike white sand beaches and calm crystal clear turquoise waters. Life here mainly takes place in the north at Playa Norte (Playa los Cocos) and in Downtown, the largest island town. Also, one can swim with whale sharks at this island paradise.

Taxco City

Nestled between mountains, the city will amaze you with its landscapes of white houses and red roofs and the cobbled streets that you can walk in the company of your friends or family. There is plenty sites with great stories in Taxco, all of them will transport you back to the historical past of its temples and squares. This town was declared a National Heritage Site for its historical monuments. Silverware is the queen of the place and it is possible to visit the workshops of the artisans and even make your own piece of personalized jewellery.

Oaxaca

Oaxaca de Juárez is one of the most important destinations in Mexico, owing to its cultural, artistic, and culinary legacies. A walk through its historical centre – designated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site and called the Verde Antequera on account of the majestic green quarry structures – is all that’s necessary in order to understand its popularity.

Mexico City

If there is something that amazes locals and travellers, it’s the Historical Center of Mexico City. With the Palacio Nacional or the Metropolitan Cathedral and in the background, the vestiges of the Aztec Empire (Templo Mayor Museum). Also, it is one of the metropolises with the largest number of museums in the world. Here is where the traditional cuisine of all of Mexico converges; yet it is also the site of cutting-edge options.

Guanajuato

The city of Guanajuato is famous for its legends and the cultural wealth surrounding its intricate Colonial era architecture, as well as for the role it has played as a mining centre during the Colonial era and in the war for independence. UNESCO declared Guanajuato a World Heritage Site in 1988, and it has an extraordinary cultural life, which includes, among many other events, the International Cervantino Festival.

Cancún

The darling of beach tourism in Mexico, par excellence. Its blue water that changes in tone as it gets deeper, its incomparable soft white sand and its nightlife and shopping have made Cancún an international reference for anyone looking for a few days of sun and sea. Cancún also boasts the best culinary selection in Mexico, with three five-AAA diamond restaurants.

Palenque

One of the most beautiful of all Mayan cities lies amid dense jungle at Palenque, whose principal constructions date from the Classic period. The site is famed for its ball court and aqueduct, but above all for its temples and palaces that are still in quite good condition. The Templo de las Inscriptions is considered the archaeological zone’s most important structure and is also the largest; its name comes from hieroglyphics that are preserved within it and which narrate the history of the city’s nobility.

Chichen Itza

Today it’s considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. But what Mexicans have known all along is that few visitor attractions can compete with this magnificent Mayan city that UNESCO named a World Heritage Site in 1988. Founded in 525 AD, the compound is famous above all for its main structure, the Templo de Kulkulcán. The pyramid presents a stunning spectacle during the spring and autumn equinoxes, when in a vision of light and shadow, the legendary plumed serpent descends the pyramid’s nine levels – a phenomenon that reminds of the Mayans’ extraordinary powers of astronomical observation and their unparalleled ability to express this in their architecture.

Holbox Island

Located on the north coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, Isla Holbox has much more to offer than dreamlike beaches. It is a paradise for nature lovers and bird watching as it is separated from the mainland by 10 km of a shallow lagoon – home to countless pelicans, flamingos, and other rich birdlife. With its unpathed sandy streets, a bohemian vibe, and bright murals adorning many of the island’s walls this place is still a paradise for those seeking for peaceful tranquillity.

Tulum

An ancient commercial port and walled city that was largely constructed during the post-Classic period. Among other functions, it was an important astronomical centre and to this day is a privileged setting for stargazing or observing equinoxes and solstices. Other attractions include diverse plant and animal life, and dazzling white sands, all of which frame the imposing archaeological zone’s main structure, known as El Castillo, which served as a lighthouse that helped merchant vessels avoid the nearby coral reefs.

About Chile

The seasons of the year in Chile are contrary to the northern hemisphere. Due to the enormous extension, there are different zones regarding climate and vegetation. From the desert in the North to the cold regions in the South the temperatures decrease with increasing precipitations. The climate is influenced by the high Andes in the East and especially by the cold Humboldt current, which flows parallel to the Chilean coast to the North and prevents higher temperatures. Along the coast and in the South, there is more humidity and freshness; from Central Chile up to the Atacama Desert in the North it is relatively dry. The best travel time for Patagonia is from October till March. The rest of Chile can be visited throughout the whole year.

About 20 million people do live in the country, and almost half of them in the regions of Santiago and Valparaiso. The composition of the population is ethnical and cultural more homogenous than in other Latin American countries.

Chile is a long, narrow country stretching on the western side of South America with a Pacific coast spanning over 6,000 km of coastline. Distances in Chile are great. The fertile Central Region extends from a long valley north of the capital Santiago more than 1000 kilometers to the “Small South” to Puerto Montt. The deserts in the north, the Andes and Patagonia are rather sparsely populated and therefore ideal travel destinations for nature lovers, who want to enjoy natural wonders, silence and loneliness. The country has borders at the north with Peru, at the north-east with Bolivia and from the north-east down to Tierra del Fuego at the south with Argentina.

Geographically it is one of the most interesting countries on earth and for tourists and investors an extremely attractive and relatively safe country in Latin America. Many Europeans immigrated in the last centuries to this Andean country. They contributed a lot to the development of the country and founded villages, companies, schools and clubs. There are world famous cultural attractions. Some wooden churches on Chiloé Island, the historical quarter of the port town Valparaíso and the abandoned miners’ towns Sewell, Humberstone and the Santa Laura Saltpeter works in the Atacama desert were declared UNESCO world cultural heritage. The National Parks Torres del Paine and Rapa Nui were declared UNESCO world heritage.

Did you know this fact?

In Brazil, the Amazon Rainforest is so vast that it spans over 9 countries, with the majority (about 60%) of it located in Brazil alone. This immense forest is home to an estimated 10% of the world’s known biodiversity, including countless species of plants, animals, and insects. It plays a crucial role in stabilizing the Earth’s climate and is often referred to as the “lungs of the planet” due to its role in producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide.

About Brazil

Other South Americans regard Brazilians as a race apart and language has a lot to do with it – Brazilians understand Spanish, just about, but Spanish-speakers won’t understand Portuguese.

Brazilians also look different. In the extreme south German and Eastern European immigration hast left distinctive traces; São Paulo has the world’s largest Japanese Community outside Japan; slavery lies behind a large Afro-Brazilian population concentrated in Rio, Salvador and São Luis; while the Indian influence is still very visible in the Amazon. Italian and Portuguese immigration has been so great that its influence is felt across the entire country.
By far the largest country in South America, Brazil coves nearly half the continent and is only slightly smaller than the US, with an area of just over 8,5 million square kilometres. It shares frontier with every South America country except Chile and Ecuador. Brazil has around 200 million inhabitants, making it the fifth most populous country in the world.

Despite the immense expanses of the interior, roughly two-thirds of Brazil’s population live on or near the coast and well over half lives in cities – even in the Amazon. In Rio and São Paulo, Brazil has two of the world’s great metropolises, and ten other cities have over a million inhabitants.

It’s fair to say that nowhere in the world do people enjoy themselves more – most famously in the annual orgiastic celebrations of Carnival , but reflected, too, in the lively year-round nightlife that you’ll find in any decent-sized town. This national hedonism also manifests itself in Brazil’s highly developed beach culture, superb music and dancing and rich regionals cuisines.

Rio de Janeiro

There is no destination on earth more animated and exciting than Rio de Janeiro. Located in south-eastern Brazil, Rio de Janeiro is the most visited city of South America due to its famous mountains, beaches and Carnival festival.

Foz do Iguassu

One of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders in the world, Iguazu Falls straddles the Argentine-Brazilian border. It is often compared to Niagara Falls and Victoria Falls, such is its staggering size and scale. Surrounded by dense rainforest, its endless series of cascades stretch for almost three kilometres, making it the largest waterfall system in the world.

Fortaleza

Nice beaches, dynamic shopping and lively culture all make Fortaleza one of Brazil’s popular tourist destinations. The capital of the Ceará state on the country’s north-eastern coast, Fortaleza is Brazil’s fifth largest city, well-known for its forró music.

Pantanal

Covering a vast swathe of western Brazil, as well as parts of Paraguay and Bolivia, the Pantanal is the world’s largest and most diverse tropical wetland area. Due to its stunning scenery and incredible wildlife, the region is increasingly popular to visit, although its remote and watery nature does pose a few challenges.

Salvador da Bahia

A historic Old City, beautiful beaches, lively culture and one of the world’s biggest Carnival celebrations all fashion Salvador is one of Brazil’s top tourist destinations. One of the oldest cities in the Americas, Salvador is Brazil’s third largest city and the capital of the Bahia state.
