A must-see tourist attraction in Peru.

If you choose to travel to Peru, what scenic spots are necessary? The following is the relevant information I collected for your reference only!

Machu Picchu-One of the New Seven Wonders of the World

Many people should know that Machu Picchu is the most famous scenic spot in Peru. Machu Picchu, a mysterious city in the sky, is known as the "lost city" of the Inca Empire, which was built around 65438+60' s. Because of its unique location and geographical characteristics, the world knew nothing about it during the nearly 300 years of Spanish colonial rule and the 100 years after Peru's independence. It was not discovered by hiram until 19 1 1 year. Bingham III found it by accident. It is one of the new seven wonders of the world and one of the few dual world heritages of culture and nature in the world.

I have visited many famous world wonders all over the world. Machu Picchu is one that impressed me very much. It was really shocking, especially when I stood on the top of the ancient mountain in the morning, overlooking the whole ruins. The misty feeling is like a fairyland, and it also makes people deeply feel the wisdom of the ancient Incas.

A floating island in lake titicaca.

Lake Titicaca is located at the junction of Peru and Bolivia. Take a bus to Puno, Peru, and then you can go to Lake Titicaca. It is the largest freshwater lake in South America, the highest freshwater lake in the world and the sacred lake for Indians.

There is a very special place-the "Uhlas" floating island deep in Lake Titicaca. They are artificial islands paved with reed grass, with more than 80 large and small floating on the water. These floating islands are home to the local Uro people. It is said that over 1 000 years ago, the local native Ulu people fled to the lake to build a floating island to avoid the invasion of the Incas. Their custom of living by water has been preserved to this day.

Explore the Amazon rainforest

The Amazon rainforest, known as the lungs of the earth, has visited eight countries in Heng Yue: Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana and Suriname, and is the largest and most diverse tropical rainforest on the earth. There are countless exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and animals, indigenous tribes and piranhas labeled as Amazon rainforest.

Exploring Amazon, starting from Peru is one of the best choices: because the cost is cheap, it is more than half cheaper than going to Amazon from Brazil; But it is also relatively safe. I first flew to Iquitos, Peru, from where I went deep into the Amazon rainforest and stayed in the rainforest for a few days, which was both interesting and full of adventure. Fishing piranhas in the rainforest during the day and frying them at night. Then I took a day's boat ride along the Amazon River and came to Colombia, the other side of the Amazon rainforest.

Hometown of grass mud horse

Alpaca (grass mud horse) is a typical animal in the Andes of South America and can be said to be a symbol of Peru. There are grass mud horses on the national flag and emblem of Peru. About 90% of the grass mud horses in the world live on the plateaus of South America, Peru and other countries.

In Peru, you will have the opportunity to see many lovely grass-mud horses, such as in the ancient city of Cuzco, Machu Picchu, and on the way ... but I also want to remind you that due to the gradual commercialization, there may be a charge for taking pictures of alpacas in the ancient city of Cuzco. If you are lucky, you may see all four grass mud horses, and even see the rare wild grass mud horse "Vikua" in the wild.

A world-class hiking resort.

Varas in northern Peru is a world-famous hiking base camp and a paradise for outdoor extreme sports. Outdoor lovers from all over the world gather there all year round. Based in Varas, they are engaged in hiking, mountaineering, skiing and mountain biking ... Around Varas, there are hundreds of hiking routes for you to choose from, ranging from one day to several weeks. ? Ancient city of Cusco

Cuzco was the capital of the ancient Inca Empire, the cradle of splendid Inca culture and the center of South America. This is a beautiful and tasteful highland town and one of my favorite cities in South America. When I first arrived in Cuzco, I was deeply impressed by the city, and it was not as commercialized as I thought. In the film motorcycle diaries, Cusco's exquisite Inca-style stone walls and slate streets are still well preserved. The more you explore outside the city center, the more you can feel the charm of the city.

Cuzco is also the only place to go to Machu Picchu. From Cuzco, you can take a sightseeing train to Machu Picchu or walk along the ancient Inca road, but both methods are expensive. Or, like me, take a bus for 7-8 hours and then walk along the railway for 2-3 hours, which saves money. ? Lima ancient city

Lima, the capital of Peru, is a slightly contradictory city, close to the sea and desert. Compared with Cuzco, Lima has a stronger Spanish colonial style, which was once the center of Spanish colonial rule in South America. Walking through the slightly noisy ancient city of Lima, colonial buildings on both sides of the road, fountains in the weapons square and church bells all seem to tell you the story of the city.

"Baicheng" Arequipa

Arequipa, the second largest city in Peru, is located in an active seismic zone, so there are frequent earthquakes and there are more than 80 volcanoes around it. Among them, the three most famous volcanoes are Chachani volcano, Misty volcano and Pitching volcano. Many Spanish colonial buildings are well preserved in this city. Because there are many volcanoes around the city, most of the buildings in Arequipa are built of gray volcanic rocks, so the city has the title of "Baicheng". The whole ancient city of Arequipa has been listed as a World Heritage Site.

There is a magical phenomenon in the cathedral on the weapons square in the ancient city. In every big earthquake, the tower on the right will collapse, but the tower on the left never does.

Inca market

Every time I go to a country, I like to visit the local market, because the market is the place where people live in a country and I can feel the local folk customs and culture best. There are many traditional Inca markets in Peru, and each market is very lively. Besides daily necessities, there are some strange things in the market. For example, people on the plateau chew it every day to refresh themselves; Sun-dried bovine nose; Fresh shaved guinea pigs; All kinds of divine oils and things like that ... And it is said that there are thousands of kinds of potatoes and 55 kinds of corn. By the way, the Andes where Peru is located is the origin of potatoes.
