Lavish Photo Features offer a unique insight into Peru's festivals, archaeology, birdlife in the Amazon, colonial art and architecture, and the people of Lake Titicaca.

The Places section features everything you'll need to know about the sights and attractions in each of Peru's regions, from the Andes, the Amazon basin and Lake Titicaca, to the elegant cities of Arequipa and Cusco, and the mysterious Nazca lines.

All major sights are cross-referenced with the maps, and the travel tips section provides a wealth of practical information on how to plan your trip, plus language tips, an A-Z of essential travel information, and carefully selected hotel and restaurant listings.
