Indigenous Culture in Peru
Indigenous cultures continue to thrive in many parts of Peru. While here you can visit the floating islands in Lake Titicaca, which are home to the Uros, an ancient people who fled to the islands long ago for protection. In the jungle outside Iquitos, you might spend an afternoon with the Yaguas Indians, a native Amazonian tribe. There are also several indigenous communities scattered around the Sacred Valley in small, rural villages. Visiting indigenous cultures is a great way to explore the connection between Peru's past and present.
The best places to visit in Indigenous Culture in Peru
Yagua Tribe
While you’re visiting the Amazon Basin near Iquitos, you have the chance to encounter one the Amazon’s native tribes, the Yagua. With only 4,000 to 6,000 members left, meeting the Yagua is a rare opportunity and the best way to get an idea of what the original face of the Amazon looks like.

Our Multigenerational Journey
My sister and her family want to come next year, and possible another friend's family as well, so will definitely tell them to use Anywhere!!!
Peru
We Conquered Huayna Picchu
This was a very personal experience and Anywhere.com does an amazing job of having agents who are cultured and/or very familiar with the country to which you wish to visit. This allows the agent to listen to what you want to experience and then match you up with the right outfitter, vendor, excursion group, etc...I felt like Sara Nizama truly listened to my wants/needs and made them a reality. I am so happy with my Peru experience, thanks to Sara and her team. I want to go back soon and explore more of Peru with the help of Sara and her team. Thank you!

An Epic Peruvian Family Journey
Peru is bursting with history, interesting sites and friendly people and tourists from all parts of the world. We wished our hotels were a bit better and should have requested upgrades for a reasonably higher price. We have already recommended Peru to family and friends. Our photos and videos on Facebook have evoked several inquiries. I would certainly like to visit Peru again along with other countries of South America.
