About Me

I greatly enjoy working as a Pertu travel agent professional, as Peru is both unique and welcoming. If you have always wanted to see South America, Peru is one country that must be included on your travel itinerary.The sun-worshipping Incas built the world's biggest empire in Peru, a beautiful kingdom rich in gold that was a key source of riches for Europeans in the sixteenth century. Those treasures have piqued European interest ever since. Peru is also home to the first stone pyramids in the world, unearthed in the late twentieth century. In addition, many pre-Incan civilizations have left their mark on Peru's desert coast, which is dotted with massive structures made of adobe. It’s these types of archeological achievements that draw tourists from the world over. Along with the country’s stunning landscapes and diverse fauna, Peru proves to be much more than its famed Andean mountain range.The intriguing South American country also exhibits a lovely desert coast and large stretches of tropical rainforest, which tourists generally overlook. The Andes, which represent peaks that soar over 6,000 meters (19,685 feet), span the whole length of the country. These mountains separate the jungle from the desert terrain and coast. Therefore, a visit to Peru will indeed give you the chance to see extremely different landscapes. In addition, music, dancing, and fiestas abound in Peru and the country’s food is some of the best you will ever taste.Did you know that around 34% of Peru’s population of 28 million people are under 16 years old? Therefore, there is a family feel and youthful exuberance about the country. One of the places I suggest travelers visit is Lima. When you visit LIma, you can always find time to talk to a local, eat a ceviche or try another Peruvian dish.I know you will love the ceviche and many of Peru’s festive dishes, as they are both delicious and healthy. Ceviche begins a meal perfectly, as it is usually served as an appetizer. It is made of shrimp or raw fresh fish and marinated in lime or lemon.  While Peru has its fair share of Westernized eating establishments, I strongly recommend you visit the local eateries. Try the ceviche with a salad, sweet potato and corn - something Peruvians often eat for a Sunday afternoon meal. While it may, at first, sound unappealing, the cuy (roast guinea pig) is actually tasty - at least for those who are brave enough to sample it.The street food is tantalizing and reasonably priced and provides easily accessible options, such as grilled meats and empanadas, which are savory pastries filled with ingredients, fried or baked. Now that I’ve given you a small taste of Peru, I am sure you will want to book travel to the country. As your travel agent advisor, I know you will never forget your Peruvean holiday. Why not call me now so we can start planning your journey today?

Unforgettable Vacation
Reviewed By Brian Gray - California | Traveled to Brazil ~ South America
I wanted to surprise my wife with a quick trip for our 6 years wedding anniversary. I'm forever grateful for a memorable weekend and wouldn't change a thing about it. We Visited Buenos Aires for 2 nights, enjoyed their parrilladas and local wine, just one word for it "exquisite". We flew to Iguassu Falls and spent 2 nights there. The morning view was amazing! We stayed at the Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas in Brazil's side and were able to hear the sound of the waterfalls while falling asleep. Next morning we went on a boat ride under the falls, it was extreme and we loved it! Thank you Miriam for sharing your knowledge and arranging everything for us, it was a perfect quick celebration with so much quality in such short stay.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
