Peru, featuring: Lima, Cuzco, Machu Picchu & the Nazca Lines: 7 Days Independent Tour Peru is best known for its ancient cultures, especially the Incas, who dominated much of South America until the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors in the 16th century. Today, Peru is a fascinating blend of local tradition and European influence. However, history is only part of the story. Peru stretches south from the Equator for 1,300 miles. The Andes run the full length of the country, rising to almost 7,000 metres, and separate the arid coastal strip from the lush rainforest. Over 80% of the world's different ecosystems are represented in Peru, more than any other country.

Enjoy a fabulous gourmet dinner at La Huaca Pucllana Restaurant; one of Lima's best restaurants where you will enjoy a very special meal. Located in an unparalleled setting, within the compound of 1,500-year-old construction of an adobe pyramid built by the original inhabitants of Lima, the pre-Inca Lima Culture is one of the city's greatest dining surprises. A beautiful and serene upscale restaurant with knockout views of the pyramid, secluded in the midst of Lima's chaotic jumble, makes for a remarkable place to have Novo Andean Cuisine experience. The low hump of adobe bricks and excavation walkways are only a few meters away from the tables, the ruins are illuminated at night adding to the magical ambiance, and diners can take a tour of the construction and digs after dinner. The restaurant is handsomely designed in a rustic colonial style. The menu is creative Novo Andean Cuisine; a fusion of Andean ingredients and European.
