What are the top activities in Peru?
Peru has a wealth of activities for travelers to enjoy — the best options involve nature, culture, or history. Cultural/historical activities include exploring archeological attractions, ancient ruins, and historic sites. You can also tour cities, go shopping, visit museums, and sample local cuisine.
Peru's outdoor attractions are as diverse as they are impressive. The country's national parks and reserves are perfect for hiking, bird watching, and horseback riding. Thrill-seekers can go biking and explore caves. And along the coast, you can take a marine mammal observation tour or go for a cruise on a catamaran.
