ADVENTURE TRAVEL TOUR IN PERU
from:For those in search of adventure, travel tour in Peru offers many exciting possibilities. Peru is a diverse land of mountain glaciers, sun baked deserts and tropical rainforest. This was the country of the Incas, whose “lost city” of Machu Picchu, high in the Andes Mountains, is a reminder of a once mighty empire. Machu Picchu can be reached by train from Cuzco – at one time the center of the Inca civilization – or for the more adventurous, by hiking. The Incas were not the first of the pre-Columbia builders to leave their marks in this ancient land. Strange pictures on the desert floor at Nazca are the relics of another long-vanished civilization.
An adventure travel tour in Peru has activities for every taste. You can take a wild, white water ride down a river, trek through rugged mountain valleys, camp on a glacier or canoe across still waters in the Amazon basin. There are ski resorts in the Cuzco and Huaraz areas, but for a new twist on downhill motion, try sand-boarding on the dunes near Huacachina. There are many mountain bike tours, and cyclists could hardly ask for more inspiring scenery to ride through than that of Peru.
For wildlife lovers an adventure travel tour in Peru has much to offer. There are capybaras, monkeys, iguanas, jaguars, ocelots, crocodiles and anteaters. Marine life includes penguins, pink freshwater dolphins and sea lions. Bird lovers will be in their glory. Peru has over 1700 species of birds. Columbia is the only country in the world that has more. They range from flamingos, Inca terns and colourful macaws to the lordly Andean condor.
If you want to do some fishing on your adventure travel tour in Peru, there is deep sea fishing along the coast, and angling in the rivers of the northern and central highlands. Fishermen can also try their luck in the rivers of the Amazon basin and Lake Titicaca.
If your adventure travel tour in Peru takes you to beautiful Lake Titicaca, you may very well want to do more than fish. This vast lake (the largest in South America) forms part of the border between Peru and Bolivia. It is among the highest lakes in the world. This is a place where visitors can observe how ancient cultures merged with more recent societies. Old languages are still spoken, besides Spanish. In the communities that dot the shores of the lake one can see both colonial churches and ancient funeral towers. At Lake Titicaca you can walk on islands made of reeds, or take a cruise on sparkling waters beneath a sky that, because of the altitude, is unbelievably clear.
For an unforgettable vacation, you can’t miss with an adventure travel tour in Peru.
