There is still no exact date for the world’s airports and airlines to start working normally. However, there are different alternatives to appease that need to explore, know, and be surprised. Obviously, all without leaving your home or exposing yourself unnecessarily.

For that reason, the American magazine Travel + Leisure recounted the activities and wonders of Peru, with Machu Picchu at the forefront, which you can access from the comfort of your sofa. All you need is a good internet connection, the electronic device of your choice, and a great desire to discover and learn about the ancient culture, the rich history, and the delicious Peruvian cuisine.

360 ° experiences

Still do not know Machu Picchu? You no longer have to worry. Here we have the solution. If you want to know one of the world’s wonders, Travel + Leisure recommends the 360 ° video by YouVisit. You can know the different corners of the ruins located in Cusco with impressive image quality.

If the images of Machu Picchu impressed you, you can complement the Cusco visit with Choquequirao. This 360 ° experience, exhibited on the RoundMe website, is impressive for the panoramic images of the Inca ruins, which are similar in their geographical similarity to those of world wonder.

A look to the north
This special offers images of the Chan Chan Site Museum located in the department of La Libertad, which houses more than 15 thousand archaeological pieces. If you are a lover of history, you should not miss this exhibition of the archaeological zone that in 1986 was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.

To close the visits to the various archaeological wonders of Peru, you can visit Kuélap. Watch even the smallest detail of this special video about the pre-Inca citadel located in Amazonas, in northeastern Peru. You will be impressed with its imposing fortresses, which date back to the 11th century.

Delight with the flavors
After touring Peru, we stop for a moment to taste its tasty gastronomy. What do you think of a Papa a la huancaína? Or maybe you fancy some delicious Anticuchos? If you want variety, you can try Arequipa’s gastronomy. But if what you are looking for is a dish that combines Creole with oriental, you can not miss trying Lomo saltado, one of the flagship dishes of Peru. These dishes are recommended by Travel + Leisure and you should definitely not stop trying them.
