What's this trip about?

As a country, Peru brims with romantic sentiment musically, gastronomically, and geographically. Andean huaynos (Peruvian folk genre) are known for their romantic melancholy, their lyrics often calling out for a lost loved one or celebrating the torn emotions of an eternal love, while the percussive cajon of Afro-Peruvian criolla music beats to the tune of two dancing hearts. Peruvian dishes like ceviche or lomo saltado marry fresh and local ingredients to create endless moments of savory, tangy, spicy, and citrusy bliss. Not to mention the stark mountain landscapes that quite literally take ones breathe away at upwards of 13,000 feet, and the northern Peruvian coast line, only a few hours away by plane, that offers sun, surf, sand, and solitude. The following sample itinerary, ideal for a Peru honeymoon or a romantic re-encounter, takes you on an exclusive tour of the country’s most enchanting venues, exploring its sights, sounds, and tastes. Are you ready to fall in love all over again?
