More than 42% of surveyed visitors mentioned that its cuisine is an important influencer in choosing Peru as a vacation destination.

alvaro-silva-santisteban“Peru has been gaining tremendous ground as a tourism hotspot in the last few years, and is a consistently top-ranking destination for travelers,” said Alvaro Silva Santisteban, Director of the Trade, Tourism and Investment Office of Peru in the UAE.

“Indeed, two of the country’s hotels made it onto the top ten best hotels worldwide according to TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice 2015, and Cusco is currently ranked 16th on the Travelers’ Choice Destinations 2015 listing –sharing the same list with Dubai ” he added.

The two hotels making the TripAdvisor grade this year are the Belmond Palacio Nazarenas in Cusco (5th), and the Tambo Del Inka, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, located in Urubamba, Cusco (10th).

Located on the central west coast of South America, Peru is a magical destination, one of the richest biodiversity countries on Earth and a colorful mosaic of different cultures.
