Peru is a perfect destination for starting your life together. This country will offer you a lot of adventure, amazing scenery, modern Peru hotels, as well as great prices. The mountains, rainforests, colorful towns, and spectacular ruins rule the landscape. You can get unbelievable souvenirs throughout Peru, particularly on market days. Hand-knit alpaca and vicuna items are common and unbelievably cheap, as are pottery, handmade jewelry, and metal-embellished leather sandals.
Probably the most famous tourist attraction in Peru- Machu Picchu is not to be missed. These fifteenth-century Incan ruins are one of the most dramatic sites on the planet. Machu Picchu is visited by more than half a million tourists a year, mostly from May to September when the weather is drier. For this destination you can find bus or train service from Cusco city, which is the historic capital of the Incan empire, and also worth a visit.
Keep in mind that Peru’s Sacred Valley, located near Cusco and traveled through on the train to Machu Picchu, is among its most beautiful areas. Towns located in this valley near Cusco like Pisac and Chinchero are worth a visit and are accessible by bus or taxi. Buy a Cusco boleto turistico to keep your sightseeing costs to a minimum. This gets you admission to numerous Incan sites such as Sacsayhuaman, Pikillacta, Tipon, etc. and several museums in Cusco.
Peru’s rainforests are amazing, and ecotourism is a great idea for adventurous honeymooners. In southeastern Peru, you’ll find the Tambopata National Reserve, which boasts an easily accessible and spectacular jungle. The nearby Puerto Maldonado can offer the most proper hotels in Peru for this purpose. It’s also a good idea to arrange your jungle treks through an outfitter there or through your hotel.
From May to October are the driest months in Peru and they are the most proper time of the year to visit Peru. From June to September it is often cold, particularly at high elevations. However, if you are keen on trekking, this can be an ideal time to visit, as visibility is best.
January through April tends to be wet and should be avoided –roads are often rendered impassable, so you may find yourself stuck in one spot for a few days. Also, remember that depending on where in Peru you’re headed, temperatures and local weather will vary- the dry highlands are quite different from the rainforests in the east.
