Top 3 Unique Peruvian Spots for your Special Day

AppId is over the quota

Whether your special event is a birthday, anniversary, engagement, or celebration of another kind, Peru is the top country you should be considering. Why? Because these destinations are spots that you won't find anywhere else in the world.

Cusco and Machu Picchu - As the icon of Peru, there is no better place to spend your memorable holiday than at Machu Picchu. You will likely first arrive in Cusco, the oldest continually inhabited city of the Americas, where you can indulge in the city's many fine museums detailing life and civilization as it was before the Incas and Spaniards left their influence. Ruins sites such as Ollantaytambo and Pisac are amazing places to whet your appetite before the main course: Machu Picchu. If you want a challenge to remember, hike the Inca Trail from just outside Cusco to the entrance of the Inca citadel, or take the more comfortable Peru Rain train there. To make the most out of your unforgettable Machu Picchu vacations, be sure to arrive at the site to see it at sunrise when it is at its most glorious.

Iquitos and the Amazon Rainforest - Making Iquitos stand out beyond all other destinations in the world is the fact that it is largely considered the biggest continental city accessible only by air or water. Therefore, the trip to Iquitos itself becomes an adventure, and the Amazon vacation packages that originate from there are some of the most exotic in the entire rainforest. Take a multi-day cruise down (or rather, up) the Amazon River from Pucallpa or Yurimaguas, then go even further once there to go deeper to your jungle lodge. Your lodge will be able to organize whatever excitement or romantic atmosphere you want, such as thrilling canopy walks for observing the jungle's wildlife hundreds of feet above the ground, or secluded rooms to celebrate with your loved one.

Huaraz and the Andes - If you want to push yourself physically on your special day, then go no further than the central Andean city of Huaraz. Here you will find the most picturesque and iconic white peaks that define the image of the Peruvian mountain range. Go on a multi-day hike such as the Santa Cruz trek which will take you to heights as high as more than 15,700 feet above sea level, and past pristine blue mountain lagoons and verdant valleys. On a visit, however, be sure to consider whether you wish to embark on a trip in the dry or rainy season.
