You already have in mind to visit Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley from Cusco, but of course, you have many days to enjoy in Peru and, although you could repeat over and over again the same tour, we think it would be a bit boring. To surprise you we bring you the unknown tourist places in Peru<\/strong>, those you haven’t heard of yet.<\/p>\n

We’ll show you some of the unknown tourist places in Peru<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Huayllay Stone Forest<\/h2>\n

In the Pasco region, at altitudes ranging between 4,100 and 4,600 masl is this curious park of stones sculpted by the erosion of volcanic activity<\/b>, watercourses, and climatic conditions. Despite being one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Peru<\/b> it is an unknown place for tourists.<\/p>\n

If you like trekking and are looking for the best routes we give you good news. In the Huayllay Stone Forest<\/b> there are more than ten possibilities to walk through the landscape and you can also practice rock climbing. It looks like good training for the Salkantay Trek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Choqolaqa Stone Forest<\/h2>\n

We don’t like to be repetitive, but the two stone forests deserve to appear on this list of unknown tourist sites in Peru. This striking landscape seems from another planet<\/b> and is, without a doubt, a place to visit in Arequipa<\/a>. Legend has it that one day its inhabitants stopped paying respect to the Apus Mountains<\/a> and as a punishment everything turned to stone.<\/p>\n

The Yuracochas<\/h2>\n

It is known as the Vinicunca Lime\u00f1o<\/b>, because it is in Lima, obviously. The little-known chain of Yuracochas Mountains<\/b> you can see after visiting the Rainbow Mountain<\/a> of Cusco that they are sisters separated at birth, they are very similar! From their summits, you can appreciate the Nevado Rajuntay, the Yuracocha lagoon, and all the Peruvian highlands’ beauty.<\/p>\n
