Guess what’s trending among Chinese wanderlusters? Peru is the new hot spot! 🔥
Last month (December 2025), Peru’s tourism agency Promperú snagged the 'Best Niche Destination in the World' award from Travelling Scope – one of China’s biggest travel mags. 🎖️ So, what’s the buzz all about?
It’s a mix of epic natural wonders (hello Machu Picchu and rainbow mountains 🌈), mouthwatering eats (ceviche that’ll make your taste buds dance 🍤), and vibrant culture (colorful festivals and Andean beats 🥁). Chinese travelers are diving into Peru’s foodie scene in Lima, exploring Amazon jungle tours, and snapping pics in the Sacred Valley.
Promperú tells us that Chinese holiday makers are drawn by tailor-made experiences: guided group tours in Mandarin, smooth payment options via Alipay and WeChat Pay, and specially curated routes that blend Insta-worthy moments with off-the-beaten-path discoveries. Plus, with flight connections getting friendlier (think more direct options via major hubs), it’s never been easier to journey from Shanghai or Guangzhou to Lima.
With social media fueling FOMO, young explorers are sharing their Peruvian adventures in real time – from street food stalls to starlit treks across the Andes. 🏔️✨ As Chinese tourism continues to boom in 2026, Peru’s rich tapestry of history, nature, and flavor is ready to keep the love affair alive.
Ready to pack your bags? Peru’s calling! 🧳
