What is more likely is that when a traveller starts planning a trip to South America, he or she usually points the finger at the map of Peru. And no wonder: millenary history, ancestral culture, ecotourism along the coast, highlands and jungle; beaches for lovers of tranquillity and adventure sports, the best gastronomy of the continent -and why not say of the world- and much, much more.
There will never be enough time to tour and discover all that Peru has to offer tourists. It is a vacation spot par excellence and the World Travel Awards (WTA), the prestigious annual program that rewards the best destinations in the region and the world, knows it very well: the country of Incas received no less than 16 nominations! which can give it recognition in global travel if winning the gold badge of tourism.
Machu Picchu leads one of the categories (South America’s Leading Tourist Attraction) for which Peru was nominated. The capital, Lima, will compete for awards in the categories of Business Travel Destination, Leading City Break, South America’s Leading City Destination and Leading Sports Tourism Destination.
In order to choose the winners, an online vote has now been opened until July 26, 2021. Tourists, travel journalists, the media and anyone who wishes to give their opinion on the different categories of various destinations across the continent can participate here.
