The Rough Guide to Peru

About this book

The Rough Guide to Peru covers the country in-depth from the jawdropping attractions of the Macchu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and Colca Canyon to Lima's endlessly hip restaurant scene. Rough Guides' four expert authors have covered every inch of Peru, communing with Amazon shamans, rafting the waters of the mighty Urubamba and hiking to the little-visited Inca ruins of Choquequirao.

Discover where to find Peru's best pisco sour, view the rainforest high up from a canopy walkway or check out the country's coolest surfing hangout with Rough Guides' things not to miss section. Learn how to get the most out of one of South America's most versatile destinations with The Rough Guide to Peru range of itineraries. Meet the Incas with our in-depth history section and read about everything from traditional panpipe music to hallucinogenic plants. Over 70 clear, full-colour maps help you find a hostel while our easy-to-use transport info will make sure you don't end up on a chicken bus to nowhere!
