Frommer's Peru

Written by Neil E. Schlecht, this Frommer's guide takes readers across Peru, from the capital Lima and the southern coast to Cusco, Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, and the Amazon Basin. Each region is covered in full, so travelers can plan around the country's main sights and the places in between.

The series is built around the idea of a seasoned companion who already knows where to go and where to skip. Its authors have visited the destinations they describe and report honestly on hotels, restaurants, shops, and nightlife across a wide range of budgets. Prices are listed exactly, the information is kept current, and the book includes many maps, along with coverage of sports and outdoor activities.

Alongside its reviews, the guide highlights the author's favorite travel experiences in Peru, which begin with a flight over the Nasca Lines.
