Much more than the famed Incan citadel that features on everyone's bucket list, Peru's sights are as rich and varied as the colourful garb adorned by its people. To the south, bewildering geoglyphs, the continent's largest lake and spectacular canyons, and to the north, its ancient cities tempt. Pique your palate with ceviche or Amazonian chocolate from its unique cuisine, and graze at extensive markets.
