Peru is one of the richest countries in the world when it comes to nature and history. The lush green Amazon rainforests, the fresh air of the Andes after a long climb to Machu Picchu, and the natural beauty of the Inca valleys that even Instagram can’t beat make this South American nation a favourite amongst travellers. So when Plixxo influencers Durjoy Datta and Avantika Mohan travelled to Peru recently, we got another closer look at its breathtaking landscapes and 5,000 years of history.
Whether you’re on your honeymoon or travelling with your mates, Peru is an excellent choice for a holiday. Listen to the distant sound of the flowing river, gaze at the towering mountain peaks, breathe in the fresh air of the valleys and go on trails to discover the region on foot – there is a lot waiting for you in the country. Take a cue from Durjoy and Avantika’s holiday in Peru that included a visit to Machu Picchu, an ancient Inca city high in the Andes mountains, and a stop in the colonial city of Cusco, an archaeological site of Inca ruins and valleys.
Here are some pictures from their travel to Peru that will make you want to pay a visit to this wonder of the world.
