MASI TRAVEL SUDAMERICA is a Peruvian operator agency, situated in the district of Miraflores, in Lima. One of the main objectives of our company is to offer a complete tourist service, organisation, planning and the organising of corporate events associated to Conventions and any special programme whatsoever. Why Peru? This country is situated in the southern hemisphere, on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, thereby offering a type of tourism characterised by an increased number of interesting components. Peru possesses a great diversity of landscapes, and is the country with the largest quantity of known ecosystems (about 70% of all of those which are known at a world level). These great differences can be observed within an imagined tour beginning with the Peruvian desert coast (one of the most arid regions of the world), passing to the imposing Andes, which cross the country as its spine from North to South, until we reach the Amazonian Forest, a gigantic labyrinth which is born from the enormous quantity and concentration of biological life - it has been deemed World Heritage. All of this landscape diversity is in relationship to the development of distinct regions of great cultural wealth, where many existing traditions are prior to Spanish colonialisation. It is fascinating to consider that this country can evoke such deep emotions in its visitors. With contact with local peoples, we learn to face reality in a simple way and we also learn to enrich our understanding. Therefore, this is one of the most spectacular characteristics that entices the tourist to this fascinating country founded in the vestiges of the pre-Colombian civilisations, in which numerous cultures and empires existed in a period that began many millenniums ago, until the moment of the Spanish invasion which was led by Francisco Pizarro in 1532. One of the last and probably one of the most important was the Incan Empire, whose capital city was Cusco, situated at 3,300 metres above sea level. Apart from Cusco, you can also visit the famous city of Machu Picchu, which was never discovered during the Spanish invasion. It is both cultural and world heritage. According to registers and reports of various Spanish writers, the first Incan Emperor came from an island situated in Lake Titicaca, an authentic ocean (170 km in length) situated at 4,000 metres above sea level. One of the relatively new destinations of great interest in Peru is the possibility to travel through the mysterious Amazonian forest, Far from any form of pollution, it is an excellent opportunity to share experiences with the local population and try to understand the delicate Amazonian ecosystem. There are innumerable species of animals and plants that can be seen, among which are parrots, macaws, diverse species of monkeys and alligators…etc. There is various accommodation which is prepared to receive visitors and provide them with a good standard of comfort, in a region so remote as the Amazon. Peru, and other countries of South America, represent an area which is one of the most important tourist destinations of this century. For many years, many tourists and tourist operators alike avoided this location due to the fame that the 'black period' of terrorism had cast for so long. But time has changed. The Peruvian government is supporting all of the tourist infra-structures. The results are obvious and the rate of increase in foreign tourism is increasing annually around 17%. We are certain that we can offer excellent service, in the area of conventional tourism as well as in the thematic or even the organised events for companies. A visit to this country will leave you with memories that stay in your heart for the rest of your life. To facilitate things, any future contact with our agency can be made in English, Portuguese or Spanish. The services of MASI TRAVEL SUDAMERICA are aimed specifically to provide our clients with personalised quality and attention so that they feel as comfortable as they would in their own country.
