There are many options for excursions out of Lima, by far the most famous of which is the Inca citadel, Machu Picchu. You can also visit colonial cities and explore the massive Colca Canyon, which is twice the size of America’s Grand Canyon. For the adventure seekers, the Cordillera Blanca Mountain Range has some of the best trekking on the continent and contains the largest peaks in Peru. Below is a guide on how to get to some of the most important sites from Lima as quickly and efficiently as possible.
