Candy for the eyes
It is absolutely unnecessary for you to learn their scientific names because there are more than 3500 species distributed among 240 genera. But we definitely recommend remembering that almost 800 of them can be found nowhere else in the world since they grow on in Peru, some even at altitudes of 4500 masl (14760 fasl). Such wealth is explained by the amount of ecosystems existing in the country, a guarantee for the presence of hundreds of different forms, sizes and colors.

Peru holds the world’s record for fish diversity. Here, the sheer quantity of fish being spawned along the coast and in rivers and lakes of the Andes and the Amazon is mind boggling. There are three Amazonian species considered trophies in the world of fishing: the chambira or payara, the tucunare (peacock bass), and the dorado.
Due to its perfect coastal position between the cold Humboldt and the warm Nino currents, Peru is able to offer 700 different varieties of fish and 400 varieties of shellfish!
In the north, the beaches of Cabo Blanco and Mancora are famous sites for marlin fishing, where a world record breaking specimen weighted 1542 pounds was caught! There, beneath the waters, await even larger marlins for the intrepid to come along and be conquered.

This ancient path is mystical and unforgettable.
For many, a visit to the lost Incan city of Machu Picchu via the Inca Trail is the sweet cherry on the top of their Peruvian trip. The 33km (20.5mi) journey is walked by thousands every year, winding its way over three high Andean passes to the best-known archaeological site on the continent.
Soak up views of snowy mountain peaks, rural hamlets where llamas graze and cloud forests flush with orchids as you walk from one pre-Columbian ruin to the next. The awe-inspiring Machu Picchu, at the trail�s end, was never revealed to the Spaniards, remaining forgotten until the early 20th century.
