Islands in Perú

Peru

Peru has culture and nature scattered throughout its borders including along the shores of Lake Titicaca where you can find traditional weaving, knitting and even island on the making. On the island of Uros nearby Puno reeds are bound together and placed atop the island to keep it intact. Palamino Island set along Peru's Pacific coast is a dynamic location with a long since closed prison, a range of sea birds and friendly sea lions waiting to swim with everyone that makes the trip to see them.

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.
