Peru was once the centre of the vast Inca empire and many of today’s holidaymakers visit Peru to gaze in wonder at Machu Pichu, the Inca city that was lost to the world until American explorer Hiram Bingham discovered it in 1911. Machu Pichu is one those tourist attractions that really is as breathtaking and magical as pictures suggest. Holidays in Peru offer an intriguing mix of a dramatic insight into a previous time and some of the most unusual scenery in South America. No wonder more than 60,000 British tourists fly over to holiday in Peru every year.
