The culture of Peru is vast and a fascinating
aspect of travel throughout the country. The Indian Culture
is prevalent in the cities and countryside. We do offer
special tours of unique remote villages their inhabitants.
On Taquile Island in Lake
Titicaca the men knit caps and bags of colorful wool
and their lifestyle is attuned to the rocky island that
they farm. Or Amantani
Island where the folk is kind and gentle with a simple
lifestyle but intricate social structure.
In Cuzco
the Incan descendants are visible on the streets, farms
and homes dressed in colorful wool clothing and felt hats.
On a full day excursion from Cuzco visit the Willoc's
Weavers in their native rural Quechua community where
excellent textiles are produced by the women.
In the cities of Cuzco,
Lima
and Arequipa
the colonial style and Plaza de Armas harken back to the
Spanish influence as well as the European style of the
city dwellers.
Chachapoyas
adventure gives great insight into the relatively
untouristed areas of North
Peru. The culture is derived from the Incas but adapted
to the Amazon Jungle. The highland and lowlands have developed
unique aspects to their communities.
