While Machu Picchu remains Peru’s tourism calling card, the fabled site is just one of many that showcase the country’s amazing landscapes, according to Jessica Bergerie of Domiruth Travel.
“Archaeological sites in Peru are numerous and diverse, including temples and fortresses, and representing different aspects of the various cultures of ancient Peru, such as the Moche and Nazca,” says Bergerie, who is Domiruth’s head of sales. “They vary in importance and scale, from small locations to UNESCO World Heritage sites of global importance.”
The 34-year-old company offers the Moche Archaeological and Historical Chachapoyas tours, a pair of six-day programs that feature sacred sites dating back thousands of years. True to its name, the eight-day Trujillo and Cusco Tour covers both ancient cities and includes a visit to Machu Picchu.
“In Cusco, the archaeological sites and beauty of the colonial architecture merge as you explore each old street and neighborhood, where stunning shades of green are mixed with a bright range of red bromeliads and wild orchids,” Bergerie adds.
Beyond the cultural-archaeological programs, Domiruth offers gastronomic, 4×4 adventure, MICE, luxury, agriculture and other tailored tours.
