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!

More National Parks of Peru
There's always more to discover in Peru. From off-the-beaten-path gems to well-loved classics, these destinations are worth adding to your itinerary.
Huayllay Stone Forest
At first glance, the Huallay Stone Forest looks man-made, like Stonehenge’s Peruvian cousin. Yet these strange formations came about naturally, the result of thousands of years of natural erosion. Wind, water, and ancient glaciers all contributed to this one-of-a-kind landscape.
Pacaya Samiria
At almost 5 million acres (2 million ha), the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve is the largest nature reserve in Peru. Its lakes, swamps, and wetlands protect a huge range of endangered animals and offer travelers a good chance of spotting wildlife.
Manu National Park
The Manu National Park, also known as the Manu Biosphere Reserve, is one of the ecological jewels of Peru. Set along the southeastern slope of the Andes, this reserve is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
Huascaran National Park
The Huascarán National Park covers a vast section of the Cordillera Blanca. It includes Peru’s highest mountain, aqua colored lakes, ample wildlife, and impressive mountain scenery.
San Fernando National Reserve
40 miles (70 km) north of Nazca, one of Peru’s last marine shelters graces the coast. The untouched, rocky beauty of the bay and the hundreds of species of animals and plants that live in peace there bring visitors to this still somewhat “secret” place between the desert and the sea.
