North Peru is packed full of stand-out destinations, in wildly divergent areas. There are coastal cities with remarkable pre-Columbian ruins, Andean towns in spectacular mountain locations, Amazon valleys covered with rainforests and a massive variety of flora and fauna.
North Peru has long been known to a hardy few travelers, who have been particularly attracted to the little-visited archaeological sites that give an insight into fascinating pre-Inca cultures, such as the Chachapoyas at Kuelap.
