The Andes is the longest mountain range on earth. Our mountains are known to have a special energy for spiritual seekers and are home to some of the most gorgeous snow-capped peaks and hiking trails in the world. Lake Titicaca is the world’s highest navigable lake and cradle of the Inca civilization. The Colca Canyon is said to be twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, with volcanoes, geysers and condors, mummies and mighty rivers.
Our history of ancient cultures, whose legacy is spread throughout the country, offer mystery and magnificent archaeological sites, many of which are still being rediscovered and revealed.
