Which are the Best Places to See and Things to do in Peru?
If you are planning a trip to Peru, you may be overwhelmed with the
amount of things that are available for tourists to enjoy. Check out these
top 10 things to do in Peru to help you decide which activities to include
on your Peru vacation. 1. Floating Islands On Lake Titicaca One of the coolest things things to do while in vacation in Peru is to
check out the floating islands on Lake Titicaca. The Uros people that live
on Lake Titicaca built these 42 floating islands by hand out of totora, a
type of reed. There's no need to worry about falling through because the
islands' floors are several meters thick. 2. Trek the Inca Trail You may want to seek assistance from a company offering
travel tours, if you are not an experienced mountain climber. 3. Explore Inca Ruins You do not want to leave Peru without seeing the Inca ruins at Machu
Picchu. You may have read about these artifacts in history books as a
child, and now is your chance to see them in person. Be prepared for
crowds because this is a very popular destination! 4. Mountain Climbing If you are looking for an adventure vacation, be sure to include mountain climbing on your list. You can climb the El Misti Volcano, which has a total ascent of 19,100 feet.
5. Try Surfing in Peru Another activity to take part in if you are the adventurous sort is surfing. Some of the best surfing locations are Puntas Rocas, Piura and Tumbes, and the best surfing times are between December and April.
6. Shopping at Pisac Market If you are looking for a more relaxing activity you will want to take a
ride to the Pisac Market on a Sunday to enjoy a wonderful handcraft
market. Meander around the market's hundreds of booths to find some
treasures to bring back home. 7. Sightseeing in Lima While there are many outdoors and wildlife activities to enjoy in Peru,
you should not pass up the opportunity to check out the large metropolitan
city of Lima. You can visit museums, catacombs and cathedrals by day and
enjoy traditional Peruvian food and the pumping nightclubs at night. 8. Hike the Colca Canyon If you are not quite up for hiking the Incan Trail, be sure to check
out the shorter hike along the Colca Canyon, which is twice as deep as
America's beautiful Grand Canyon. 9. Witness the wildlife of the Ballestas Islands Take a tour boat to the Ballestas Islands to view what can be described as Peru's own Galapagos Islands. You will have the chance to view penguins, Peruvian boobies, pelicans, turtles and even whales.
