Peru

MachuPicchuSteps
Peru was the cradle of the Inca civilisation and boasts Machu Picchu, one of the wonders of the modern world. But, as befits South America's third-largest country, there's more to see than the Inca Trail. The mysterious Nazca lines, the Huascarán National Park, a lengthy Pacific coastline and Peru's own Amazonian jungle are all good reasons for following the flightpath of the condor. So crack open a bottle of Inca Kola, peruse our Peruvian tips and then add your own.

    If you want to travel to Peru and you do not want to pay for luxury tours, you maybe can try send a request to AndesPeru, it's a company that has many kind of alternatives, working tours with tourist bus services safe and comfortable.

    Heidi's Restaurant

    Posted by sambo73 14 August 2007

    Fab food, clean and tasty and excellent pisco sours!

    Totally agree with the recommendation for travelling from Celendin to Leyembamba: awesome scenery for those willing to endure the slow, less-travelled road. This part of Peru gets very little traffic compared with the southern areas.

    Enigma

    Posted by jennyanddave 12 August 2007

    One of many companies providing guided tours and equipment for the Inca trail to Machu Picchu. The guides were brilliant - helpful, friendly, knowledgable and introduced us to our porters.

    The chef and the food were first class - better than in any resaurant in Peru.

    This is the best bar in Cuzco (after much extensive research!!). It serves amazing daquaris in every flavour under the sun and the steaks are huge! They also serve amazing roast veg!

    The best bit is the decor, half is covered with blue skies, clouds, cherubs etc and the other half of it is red leather, rubber and fetishy!

    The sofas are actually old-fashioned iron bedsteads and the tables are old baths with glass tops with real live fish living in them. The service is amazing and the owner and his four boxer dogs are just the nicest people in the world!

    Monasterio Hotel

    Posted by Megalopolis 26 November 2006

    This luxury five-star hotel is possibly the most famous in Cuzco. It is located in a former convent and offers a unique blend of Cuzco’s Inca and Spanish tradition. Prepare yourself to be transported to the past and enjoy this gorgeous city.

    It is just two blocks from the main square.

    Mate de coca tea

    Posted by ChrisOC 20 February 2006

    Helps a lot with the altitude, is available free in most hotels, and tastes pretty good too. Hardcore travellers will want to chew the coca leaves, as the locals do, but the tea is more palatable and leaves you with a more attractive smile.

    Plaza de Armas cafes

    Posted by ChrisOC 20 February 2006

    One of the best things to do in Cuzco is to grab (it may involve inflicting minor flesh wounds) a table in one of the balcony cafes overlooking the Plaza de Armas, order a Pisco Sour and just take in the view. The Cathedral, La Compania, San Blas, laughing local children harassing tourists in quick-dry clothing … what more could you ask for?
