This is Ba Vi, a tranquil rural district around 60 km west of the capital, whose patchwork of rice paddies, tea plantations, bamboo groves and traditional villages are framed by forested slopes, misty hills and meandering rivers…

Iconic Luxe Peru: A Journey of Culture, Wild Nature and Ancient Wonders with Tanit Trails

Yes, you can visit Peru and check off its bucket list wonders - Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, the Amazon.
