Peru is one of the most fascinating South American countries which is often overlooked. It is home to one of the seven wonders of the world, Machu Picchu, and has a rich history of Incan and Spanish conquest. Although one of the poorer South American countries, Peru is rich in culture. Their tradition, delicious cuisine, and hospitable people make Peru one of the most desirable destinations in Latin America.

The multiple layers of great civilizations are what make Peru so fascinating. You can visit the ancient Incan capital of Cuzco, explore the lost city of Machu Picchu, contemplate the enigma of the Nazca Lines, and roam around colonial cities which have preserved the lagacy of the Spanish conquistadors.

All of this exists in a country with some of the most spectacular and varied scenery in South America. The Peruvian Andes are arguably the most beautiful on the continent and the mountains are home to millions of highland Indians who still speak the ancient tongue of Quechua and maintain a traditional way of life. The lush Amazon Basin, which occupies half of Peru, is one of the world's top 10 biodiversity locations - a species-rich area of tropical rain forest. And the coastal deserts, with their huge rolling dunes, farmland oases and fishing villages, are underappreciated by travelers but offer the opportunity to experience more than just the typical tourist 'hot spots'.

Our international soccer tours offer a unique opportunity to see Peru as it is: a simple country, slower paced than our first world powers, with fascinating history, tradition, and attractions. Your club will have the opportunity to play competitive Peruvian soccer teams appropriate to your club's level of play.
