05 Dec 23 Photos To Inspire You To Visit Peru
Peru might be one of the most interesting places you can visit. Peru is the home of one of the Seven Wonders Machu Picchu which was the Inca citadel the colonisers never found and destroyed. You can also discover the UNESCO heritage listed city Cusco and the floating islands in Titicaca. Here are 23 photos to inspire you to visit Peru.

Posted at 15:23h, 05 DecemberI’ve never considered Peru, but these photos have definitely inspired me. I love the gorgeous landscapes and it’s also very colorful! The Moray, near Cusco looks so cool.

Posted at 15:52h, 05 DecemberWow, so colorful! I can’t wait to make it to Peru one day, you’ve captured it so beautifully! Even Cusco looks stunning when it’s a rainy or gloomy weather kind of day! When did you take that photo of Macchu Pichu? It looks so serene and empty!

Posted at 17:34h, 05 DecemberThank you 😀 Cusco is amazing. I took that photo at the opening in the morning. Golden time to be there 😀

Posted at 17:18h, 05 DecemberWonderful photos! I remember hiking to the top of Huayna Picchu in the rain (agh!) and to the top of Amantani to Pachamama. Both were great experiences but Amantani was almost a spiritual experience. Your pics capture the essence of Peru and remind me that I really need to go back soon!

Posted at 20:54h, 05 DecemberFabulous photos! We loved our time in Peru, and loved the photo opportunities here, from the landscapes, to the wildlife of the Amazon, and the tradition villages for people watching / photography – it’s such an interesting country and culture. Your shots of the traditional Quechua women are beautiful. So glad you had the chance to visit Titicaca – this was our favorite part!

Posted at 05:37h, 06 DecemberI’ve visited Peru twice (once as a teenager in the 1980s and once a few years ago with my husband). It’s such an incredible country, with such a variety of wonders, including Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca but so much more. We have seen many of the sights you’ve beautifully photographed but still want to go back. I’ve not visited the Salt Beds, which look very dramatic indeed, or Moray.

Posted at 11:59h, 06 DecemberThat is awesome. I want to go back too sometime in the future 🙂

Posted at 07:50h, 06 DecemberIt is such a refreshing change to see a post about Peru where Machu Picchu isn’t the first picture. I love how the locals dress up in Peru, I’d love to buy those clothes if I ever go there. Salineras de Maras kind of remind me of Pamukkale in Turkey. Your photographs are awesome and I love how you capture symmetry.

Posted at 11:59h, 06 DecemberHaha true,. It is so much more than Machu Picchu 😀 Thank you 😀

Posted at 10:27h, 06 DecemberThese are absolutely some wonderful shots. I love the bright colors and patterns in Quechua clothes and materials. I was in Peru 3 years ago now, but really only did the Inca Trail and some sites around Cusco. I’d love to get back, and I’m sure I will since my husband has never been. Your photos of Titicaca make me feel like I really missed out on something special there. It’ll be at the top of my list for next time.

Posted at 12:00h, 06 DecemberThank you 😀 I wish I could do the inca trail, just not fit enough hehe.

Posted at 21:59h, 06 DecemberAs if I needed more inspiration to visit Peru, you have to tease me with these fabulous photos. I love the bright colors everywhere, and the landscape is so unique and stunning.

Posted at 00:47h, 07 DecemberThese are incredible pics. We definitely don’t need any more motivation to visit Peru but these pics did cause a severe case of wanderlust in us!

Posted at 02:10h, 07 DecemberOh my goodness! I just want to go back to South America. I was able to visit Chile, but we didn’t make it up to Peru, but we’re dying to go back. I love all the color and personality of your photos. You really captured the essence of this beautiful country. Thanks for the tour.

Posted at 17:17h, 07 DecemberI would love to go to Chile 😀 Thank you 🙂
