Peru:The Rough Guide

Most travellers know Peru for its Inca temples: the long desert beaches, high Andean peaks and tropical rainforests are less often explored. Packed with information, this guide covers all of this and more. It is practical and it aims to be up to date. Emphasis in the guide is on traveller's knowledge - with details on how to get around, on places to stay and eat - and on the more offbeat possibilities, from the reed-raft fishing village of Huanchaco to the highest railway in the world. There are full accounts too of the Inca and pre-Incaic sites, from Cuzca and Machu Picchu to more remote places.
