Popular Places and Attractions
Peru has something for everyone. There are museums, lakes, popular squares, churches, great pieces of architecture, all packed into one. Lake Titicaca, the highest commercially navigable lake, is nothing less than a paradise. Spending a night at the calm waters is a treat to the human eyes. The place is also known for its exotic islands.

Cuzco, a small mystical city, is a relief from the hustle and bustle of urban cities. One must visit the majestic cathedral, The Museum of Religious Art, the Temple of San Blas and the Church of LaMerced for a perfect glimpse of Peru architecture.

For travelling inside the cities, buses and taxis are the most convenient modes of transportation. Visitors can also go by train as Peru is well connected by trains. To access remote forest areas or lakes, boat and planes may also be used. Combis, colectivos and micros are other popular means of travelling intra-city.
