Peru

A flight to Peru takes travellers to the archaeological wonders of the Inca civilisation. Fill city breaks to Peru's brash capital Lima by wandering around Plaza Mayor square in the UNESCO heritage colonial centre. Pre-Inca artefacts are on display at The National Museum but head for the Presidential Palace for neo-Baroque Lima. Travel along Peru's ancient roadway, the fabled Inca Trail, to Machu Picchu, starting at Inca capital Cuzco, and watch the sunrise over the mountaintop. Flights to Peru take visitors to Lake Titicaca, the world's highest lake famed for its reed islands. For enigma and mystery, book airline tickets in Peru to fly over the enormous centuries-old Nazca Lines drawings in the desert.

Coastal Lima is famed for its ceviche, diced raw fish marinated in lime with hot peppers and served with sweet potatoes. In the Highland areas, locals eat creamy cheeses and alpaca (small goat) in wine sauce. Browse local markets for silver jewellery and alpaca jumpers to take back on a flight from Peru. KLM and partners have frequent flights to Peru. Choose your Peru airline tickets to catch August's religious processions honouring Santa Rosa in Lima. January enjoys the rhythmical National Marinera Dance Contest in cultured Trujillo.
