Spiritual Destinations in Peru
PeruWhen it comes to Peruvian culture, spirituality runs deep and varies wildly from region to region. Imagine eras past while wandering through the ancient temples of the Incas, and immerse yourself in the living history of Shamanism in the Amazon Jungle.
In destinations like Cusco and Puno, you can add afternoon yoga class to your sightseeing itinerary. In Iquitos, you can spend a week with a shaman to learn all about what the rainforest has to offer for health and well-being. And, of course, there are the Spanish-influenced churches and cathedrals spread throughout the country — places of worship for the majority of religious people in modern-day Peru.
Whether you are on your own spiritual journey or not, there is a lot to be learned from the diverse cultures and customs of Peru.
Peru Highlights
A curated look at the best Peru has to offer. These are the destinations that consistently stand out — places with real character, great experiences, and something worth going out of your way for.
Cusco
Nestling in the dip of the Watanay River Valley, from above the city of Cusco takes the shape of a puma, which some historians theorize was a purposeful design. As the city expands, its borders creep up the sides of the surrounding mountains, but puma statues, fountains, and signs keep the big cat’s status of unofficial city mascot.
Explore DestinationPuno
Puno is Lake Titicaca’s only major city, and most travelers will pass through here while heading towards other destinations around the lake. The city is only mildly attractive, but is surrounded by seriously spectacular scenery.
Explore DestinationAguas Calientes
Aguas Calientes is the closest town to Machu Picchu. Staying here for a night or two will give you intimate access to this incredible Inca site.
Explore DestinationIquitos
Iquitos is a city in Peru’s northeastern Amazon. It’s been on the tourism scene since the 1960s and has well-established services for travelers. You can also visit Iquitos year-round, which isn’t always possible in other parts of the Amazon.
Explore DestinationThe Sacred Valley
The first inhabitants of the Sacred Valley treasured this land not only for its dramatic landscapes and sweeping vistas—the Sacred Valley also offered ample opportunities for agriculture, and had plentiful water just beyond the reaches of the parched desert. Its fertility was the result of a sunny climate and the Río Urubamba coursing through the valley.
