Anyone who has looked into Peru holidays or planning a trip and attractions while in Peru has likely noticed the Inca trail which is easily one of the most fantastic experiences to be had in the beautiful and scenic country. Despite the magnificence of the Inca trail however Peru has plenty more to offer including so many sights and sounds that you may miss if you do not take some time to investigate before departure.
The Colca Canyon for example is an amazing sight located about one hundred miles away from Arequipa and is famous for its depth and its wide array of wildlife. The Canyon itself is twice as large as the much more famous Grand Canyon and offers some great views such as views of the Andean condor which is the largest bird on the earth. It also is great for hiking through given the fact that towns line both sides of the canyon so that you can easily work your way slowly up the trail with plenty of places to stop and set up camp.
Those who may want to take it a bit easier while on Peru holidays should consider taking an aerial flight or helicopter tour over the Nazca Lines given the fact that the large pattern is stunning to observe from above. It is even more amazing that the design was made by primitive civilizations centuries ago by hand and there are plenty of flights and companies that offer such tours.
