About Us
PERU TOURISM BUREAU (PTB), is a non-government
organization that provides comprehensive tourism
information and promotes Peru as a leading tourist
destination.
Every place on the planet has something of interest, but
Perú is undoubtedly a privileged country for its great
natural, cultural and human legacy.
Here, nature lovers will feel gratified by the diversity of
environments and scenery. They will be amazed by the
sharp contrast between forests and deserts on the coast;
deep ravines and towering snow-capped mountains in the
Andean highlands; densely forested slopes and huge plains
of thick vegetation in the Amazon jungle; and they will be
surprised at the wide variety of flora and fauna, unique in
the world, that are characteristic to each of these regions.
Those who admire the remains of the past will find
magnificent testimonies to an ancient civilization that dates
back six thousand years, with an unmistakable cultural
identity that created wonders such as the Royal Tombs of
Sipan, the Nasca Lines, Chan Chan and Machu Picchu.
And they will be able to see the best examples of painting,
sculpture and architecture, of the fusion of Hispanic and
American cultures.
Adventure travelers will be able to ride tall waves and go
looking for underwater life on the long stretches of natural
beaches; climb high mountain ranges, explore deep caves,
run the longest and biggest rivers on the continent, trek
along ancient paths that wind through different eco-
systems; and observe endangered species up close in
natural reserves of indescribable beauty.
Because it is a racial melting pot, the country is home to
multiple expressions of its peoples through their ancient,
creative and colorful folk art. Visitors can join in age-old
celebrations, each music and dance retelling its own
history. They are welcome to share in the customs and
tasks of villagers and witness how farmers have been able
to master the difficult terrain of the coast, highlands and
jungle.
There also will be no lack of opportunities for the most
demanding of palates to savor the variety and quality of
Peruvian cuisine, which offers the visitor the best
combination of flavors in the Continent.
Everything that you need to know before you travel to Peru,
you will find in this web site. Thank you for letting "PTB"
open the door of Peru for you.
