World Heritage Sites in Peru

Peru's World Heritage Sites are locations recognized by UNESCO for their cultural, historical, or natural significance. These sites include ancient archaeological wonders like Machu Picchu, a Inca city nestled in the Andes, and the historic city of Cusco. They also feature natural areas such as the Amazon Rainforest and the Nasca Lines, mysterious geoglyphs etched into the desert. These sites highlight Peru’s rich history, diverse ecosystems, and cultural heritage, and are preserved to promote education, tourism, and national pride. Being designated as a World Heritage Site helps protect and maintain these invaluable landmarks for future generations.
