Peru is a country with a millenary past due to the fact that before the arrival of the Incas, various pre-Columbian cultures existed which developed in the north, center, and south of what we now know as Peru. Each culture, developed in their regions, cultivating their own art, beliefs, and lifestyle.

There are many reasons to visit Perú:

1.- Experience all the ancient cultures

With the arrival of the Incas, a new cultural process began. The pre-Inca cultures that lived thousands of years before them, were submitted. After that the Incas built magnificent buildings which we can admire today, some of them are in the Sacred Valley or Machu Picchu.

The Incas were excellent builders of temples made in stone, as well as good goldsmithing, agriculture and hydraulic engineering. During their initial expansion in Cusco and over other territories, they applied goldsmithing techniques to create incredible pieces of clothing and jewelry ornaments which were in most cases used by the noble people.

Then during the Spanish conquest, many Inca buildings were destroyed; however, some of their constructions have been preserved to this day for future generations.

All over Peru, you can find other pre-Inca constructions, which can be visited by travelers. One of them is in the north: Chan Chan or in the northeast: Kuelap or even the mysterious and magical Nazca lines.
