Trujillo

Trujillo is often described as Peru’s cultural capital. It’s the birthplace of the popular traditional dance marinera and home to countless cultural events throughout the year.

Cusco

Despite its relatively tiny size in comparison to some other cities in Peru, Cusco is one of its must-see attractions thanks to its rich history. Many ancient sites can be found on its grounds since it once served as the capital of the Inca Empire.

Ica

Fans of architecture will find appreciation for Ica’s religious buildings, but this isn’t the reason why most people visit it. This city became a major tourist attraction thanks to its close proximity to Huacachina, a tiny village built around an oasis with the natural desert lake.

Huacachina

This charming village in Peru was built around a small desert oasis in the close proximity to the city of Ica. There’s also a tiny natural desert lake, which attracts tens of thousands of tourists to Huacachina each year despite its secluded location.

The Lost Canyon

Cañón de Los Perdidos, aka the Lost Canyon, is the closest thing to the Grand Canyon you’ll find in Peru. It became a popular tourist attraction over the course of the last decade thanks to the unusual rock formations and layered walls that make it what it is.

Nazca Lines

Nazca Lines are one of those attractions you have to see from up above to fully appreciate. These mysterious lines stretch across nearly 200 square miles of the Peruvian desert and feature hundreds of drawings ranging from various animals to geometric shapes.

The small settlement has a population of around 100 people and was built around a tiny natural lake in the Ica desert. It’s believed that the water has healing powers and because of that, the oasis became a really popular destination for the Peruvian jet-set back in the 1960s. Now, this wonderful place has tens of thousands of visitors every year from all around the world! 

When night falls and Huacachina lights up, it becomes one of the most romantic places in the world. You can climb the sand dunes surrounding it and enjoy the marvelous views! 

Huacachina offers great outdoor activities that you can engage in to have some unique fun. You can go sandboarding in the desert or you can take a cruise with a dune buggy. If you are really adventurous, you can go camping in the desert for several nights.
