New Delhi, India — Peru, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and award-winning gastronomy, is capturing the attention of Indian travellers through a series of exclusive seminars organized by PROMPERÚ — the Commission for the Promotion of Peruvian Exports and Tourism. Held in Chennai and Bangalore, these seminars aimed to strengthen tourism ties between the two countries and position Peru as a complete and extraordinary destination for Indian travellers seeking immersive, high-quality experiences.
Indian arrivals in Peru have surged in recent years, with a 60% increase in 2023, followed by another 36% rise in 2024. The trend continues, with a projected 25% growth in 2025, reflecting India’s growing interest in discovering Peru’s wonders.
India’s fast-growing economy and dynamic outbound tourism market have made it a strategic focus for Peru’s global tourism promotion efforts. Rising disposable incomes and a preference for meaningful, experience-driven travel among millennial and Gen Z travellers are driving demand for destinations that offer authenticity, adventure, and world-class experiences. Peru, with its unique blend of culture, nature, luxury, and gastronomy, fits this aspiration perfectly.
The PROMPERÚ seminars in Chennai and Bangalore brought together travel trade professionals and tour operators for interactive presentations and immersive sessions. The events highlighted Peru’s diverse offerings, from luxury experiences and culinary excellence to adventure, culture, and nature, inviting Indian travellers to embark on journeys unlike any other.
Visitors can explore the Amazon Rainforest on river cruises, marvel at sunsets over Lake Titicaca, discover the mysterious Nazca Lines, or hike through the colourful Palcoyo Mountains. Lima, the Peruvian capital, combines gastronomy, culture, and architecture, while Cusco, home to Machu Picchu — one of the New Seven Wonders of the World — offers history and adventure. Arequipa and Colca Canyon showcase Peru’s colonial past and natural beauty, while alpaca and vicuña textiles highlight the country’s artisanal traditions.
Peruvian cuisine, repeatedly recognized as among the best in the world, provides an unparalleled culinary journey — from Nikkei fusion to traditional Andean dishes — making the country a compelling destination for Indian travellers seeking unforgettable experiences.
