Peru is a country in South America that's home to a section of Amazon rainforest and Machu Picchu, an ancient Incan city high in the Andes mountains. The region around Machu Picchu, including the Sacred Valley, Inca Trail and colonial city of Cusco, is rich in archaeological sites. On Peru’s arid Pacific coast is Lima, the capital, with a preserved colonial center and important collections of pre-Columbian art.
Lima, the capital of Peru, lies on the country's arid Pacific coast. Though its colonial center is preserved, it's a bustling metropolis and one of South America’s largest cities. It's home to the Museo Larco collection of pre-Columbian art and the Museo de la Nación, tracing the history of Peru’s ancient civilizations. The Plaza de Armas and the 16th-century cathedral are the heart of old Lima Centro.
Huancayo is the capital city of the Junín region, in central Peru. It's linked to the Peruvian capital Lima via the trans-Andean Ferrocarril Central Andino, one of the world's highest train routes. Sculptures in the city's Parque de la Identidad Huanca pay homage to the region's pre-Inca culture. The neoclassical Catedral de Huancayo overlooks native plants in the central Plaza de la Constitución.
Chiclayo is the capital city of northwest Peru’s Lambayeque region. It’s a gateway to archaeological sites such as Huaca Rajada to the east, the discovery place of the tomb of the Lord of Sipán, a ruler of the ancient Moche culture. The Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum in the nearby city of Lambayeque shows artifacts from the tomb. Chiclayo is also known for its parks, gardens and access to beach resorts like Pimentel.
Arequipa is the colonial-era capital of Peru’s Arequipa Region. Framed by 3 volcanoes, it's filled with baroque buildings constructed from sillar, a white volcanic stone.
