“Whether to fulfill a romantic dream, tap into the energy of the historic Incas, or simply check off a box on the list of the world's must-see sights, Peru, as a travel destination, appeals to Chinese people on many levels,” said Angela Maric, Promperu’s Asia & Oceania Market Coordinator.

Peru undoubtedly ranks amongst the world's great centers of ancient civilization and natural wonders.  Peru offers ten thousand years of history through its 180 museums and historical places.   

Peru inevitably evokes images of Machu Picchu and the Inca empire.  Today, there's no question about the site's significance. More than 300,000 people a year come by helicopter, train, and foot to Machu Picchu to marvel at the 500-year-old structures built from blocks of granite chiseled from the mountainside.  In a new contest organized by a group called the New7Wonders Foundation, Machu Piccu of Peru has been voted by more than 50 million people to be “one of the seven top man-made wonders of the world”. 

The country also boasts of many other archaeological sites which are a legacy of even more ancient times that date back thousands of years.  Historic wonders such as the Royal Tombs of Sipan, the Nazca Lines, and Chan Chan uncover great civilizations who have bequeathed a legacy of their art, customs and rituals.  Peru has seven World Cultural Heritage sites listed by UNESCO.

Peru is a magical spot which involves one of the richest biodiversities of Earth.  Located in the west central part of South America, Peru is a diverse country due to the climatic, natural and cultural variation of its regions, which includes coasts, sierras and jungles.  Peru alone has three World Nature Heritage sites listed by UNESCO.

A melting pot of different cultures, Peruvians also celebrate some 3,000 festivals all over the country.  Peru is the 3rd largest country of South America and is bordered north by Ecuador, to the south by Chile and Bolivia, to the east by Columbia and Brazil and to the west by the Pacific Ocean. Over 40,000 restaurants across the country reflect the diversity of a nation that has mixed its native traditions with the cuisines of Europe, Arabia, China, Africa and Japan. The result: unique flavors that make Peruvian cuisine one of the best and most varied in the world. 

“We look forward to seeing more and more Chinese visitors to Peru!” said Maric.
