Peru
offers visitors a chance to explore its mysteries in a new
way, through unique experiences that combine archaeological
tourism and intense interaction with the local inhabitants.
At the same time as visitors delve into the mystery of the
area, they are helping to conserve the natural and historic
legacy of the area. They can also learn a great deal about
age-old local customs and techniques.
In the department of Lambayeque, 33 km from Chiclayo, in Túcume
lies the Valley of the Pyramids, one of the main pre-Inca
complexes in Peru due to the size and quality of the structures.
Made up of dozens of adobe mud-brick pyramids built around
the sacred Mount La Raya, the valley provides an opportunity
to mount expeditions to archaeological sites, participate
in archaeological digs and ancient rituals and listen to oral
traditions. Throughout the visit, travelers will experience
an intense cultural exchange with local inhabitants through
visits to textiles and pottery workshops, as well as participating
in religious festivities and tasting the exquisite and varied
local cooking.
In Cuzco, in southern Peru, there is an original and different
vision of history and culture. In Ollantaytambo, visitors
are encouraged to explore a variety of eco-systems and attractive
archaeological sites such as the Ollantaytambo fortress, quarries,
terracing, reservoirs and an Inca bridge. The tour enables
visitors to experience the different manifestations of local
cultures through their rites, food and artisanry. |
