If you need to escape the daily grind of modern life, then a Peru vacation rental might be just the thing for you. With 60% of the country covered by the lush Amazon Rainforest, and with plenty of popular beaches perfect for relaxing and forgetting all your worries, Peru is the perfect escape.
 
De Madre de Dios area is home to lots of virgin rainforest and is mainly only accessible by boat. Manu National Park in this region is a large, protected area that, it’s estimated, over 800 species of birds and 200 mammal species call home. This virtually untouched rainforest is a perfect place to forget that your job and your bills even exist!
 
You can go surfing in Cabo Blanco, stop by the mysterious blue lagoon Huacachina in Ica, Peru, or say hello to the residents of Uros on Lake Titicaca – these Peruvians have made floating islands out of reeds. You can stop by the Gocta Waterfall in the Amazonas – this waterfall was only recently discovered in 2005 and is the 3rd tallest in the world. Or take some souvenir photographs of the Humboldt penguins at the Paracas Reserve marine reserve in south Peru.
 
Of course Machu Picchu, the dazzling remains of an ancient Incan city, is perhaps Peru’s most famous attraction. Here you can see the Temple of the Sun, The Temple of the Three Windows, and the Condor. Or, if you’re feeling a little adventurous, you can hike up a hill to gaze upon the Sun Gate and Waynapicchu. Just be sure not to forget your camera – you’ll want to remember these amazing views forever.
