Moon Handbooks Peru

by Ross Wehner, Renee del Gaudio, Kazia Jankowski

From marveling at the Inca and Spanish architecture in the highland capital of Cusco and sunning on the white sand beaches of Northern Peru to mountain biking through Colca Canyon and trekking to lost cities in the northern cloud forest, Moon Handbooks Peru guides you through a truly personal experience, on or off the beaten path. Suggested travel strategies and lists of must-see sights provide you with real insights so you can decide where you should go, stay, and eat—without hassles or regrets. You will benefit from useful tips, such as details on how to trek, climb, scuba dive, mountain bike, paraglide and surf—both on sand dunes and on waves, and a wealth of information about the birds, animals, and plants of Peru from the Paracas National Reserve on the coast to Manu National Park in the Amazon. Complete with maps, photographs, illustrations, and special emphasis on leading destinations such as Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, Nasca, and Huaraz, plus expanded sections on key adventure areas like Manu, Chachapoyas, and Cajamarca, Moon Handbooks Peru has the tools you need to create your own unique trip.

I've read several good travel guides to Peru (Lonely Planet, DK Illustrated) and this is my favorite. Gets the right balance between excitement and skepticism.

Better guide for Peru than Lonely Planet
