V!VA User‘s Description
In Quechua, the language closest to what the Incas spoke, Peru means the ‘land of abundance’. Peru is full of extremes: from lush, towering Andean peaks to rolling sand dunes on the coast to the largest, most diverse rainforest in the world, the Amazon rainforest. Peru is also rich in pre-Colombian culture with millions of citizens in the Andes Mountains who still live, speak and work the way their ancestors did thousands of years ago.

Traveler Reviews of Peru
Huanchaco
100%A small, calm beach town with friendly, helpful locals, miles of beautiful sand, and rich cultural traditions that combine pre-Incan civilizations, ceviche, and fishing in reed boats. Fun but relaxing atmosphere, close to big city of Trujillo and to a number of important archaeological sites. Great place to learn to surf and for professionals to practice.
Wow! Amazing and sad
75%I love the fact that the culture is so mixed up between the Spanish and the indigenous cultures, with a dash of others mixed in!
It's sad because of the poverty levels... But it has a beauty to it that makes you feel alive.
Peru is beautiful
100%Peru is really stunning, especially the Sacred Valley area.
