Peru offers such a wide range of experiences that it can be difficult to choose between them. Solemn pilgrimages honour gods both Christian and indigenous. Neon-lit discos get jam-packed with revelling youth. Ancient ruins divulge prehistoric secrets. There are museums to visit, lakes to ogle, waves to surf, labyrinthine cities to explore. And let's not forget the food – a bounty of sublime concoctions made from ingredients native and contemporary. You'll need weeks to savour the vast selection of delicacies: from rare strains of potato to guinea pig to succulent ocean mollusks. And I'd like to speak about places of interest in Peru.
