Peru Tip: Arriving in Cusco or Arequipa? Go slow on your first day, drink plenty of water and try coca tea to help ease altitude sickness.
Peru stretches along South America’s Pacific coast, where ancient traditions, diverse landscapes and modern life come together in a country full of contrast and depth. Lima and Cusco, for instance, reflect Peru’s diversity in both pace and personality. Lima brings coastal energy, renowned cuisine and modern development, while Cusco offers a quieter, historic setting in the Andes, over 3,300 meters high and serving as the gateway to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. Peru gives those working remotely a chance to blend work with adventure, whether it’s tasting fresh ceviche by the coast, trekking through mountain paths or relaxing with a coffee in historic town squares.
