Huacachina Ica Province, south-western Peru


Huacachina is a village built around a small oasis, with towering palm trees and sand dunes. After bathing in Huacachina’s green waters, which are thought to have therapeutic properties, visitors can head to one of the many bars and restaurants dotted on the lagoon’s shores. Thrill- seekers will enjoy buggying and bodyboarding across the dunes. Dinks, which refers to couples with dual income and no children, will find excitement and discovery here.


4 Arequipa, southern Peru


Arequipa is Peru’s second-largest city but is often overlooked in favour of Lima or Cusco. Set on the edge of the Andes, Arequipa is framed by three volcanoes and is rich with baroque buildings carved from white volcanic rock, giving it the nickname Ciudad Blanca meaning “White City”. The city is a Unesco World Heritage Site with beautiful vistas and exceptional fusion cuisine, making it popular with millennial travellers for whom culinary travel has a big appeal.

Choquequirao Cusco and Apurimac, southern Peru Choquequirao is situated in the rural village of Cachora in the Apurimac Valley. Estimated to be up to three times the size of Machu Picchu, the Incan ruins at Choquequirao only see a handful of visitors each day but offer breathtaking views and an authentic way to discover how the Incas lived. It is ideal for those looking to tick off bucket-list items without queues or crowds.
