The Jewel of the Andes
Standing atop Machu Picchu is a moment that stays with you forever. We have visited many Inca, Maya and other historic ruins, but nothing comes close to this massive structure perched on the mountain. It's not just a cab ride away, but the journey is part of the experience. Here we outline some ways to experience this world wonder so you can find the way that suits you best.
Historic Cusco & The Sacred Valley
Explore the cobblestone streets of Cusco, the heart of the Inca Empire. Discover nearby traditional villages and the lush Sacred Valley, serving as the perfect base for your adventures before or after visiting Machu Picchu. Immerse yourself in the rich history and vibrant culture of the Andes.
The Amazon Rainforest
Deep within the Peruvian Amazon lies a very different and ancient world. Go there to get a real sense of wild adventure, stay at a jungle lodge, travel by riverboat and don't let the jungle spirits fool you.
Arequipa & Colca Valley
Discover Arequipa, the 'White City' built from volcanic stone, and journey into the deep Colca Canyon. Experience breathtaking views, spot soaring Andean condors, and explore the charming traditional villages of the valley.
Lake Titicaca & The Uros Islands
Venture to the highest navigable lake in the world and step onto the remarkable floating islands of Uros, handcrafted entirely from reeds. Discover the vibrant folklore of Puno and experience the serene beauty of the Andean highlands.
Sunshine & Surf in Northern Peru
Northern Peru is very close to the equator, meaning summer never ends in the beach towns like Mancora. Whether you are into surfing or just relaxing in bungalow hotels on the beach, the northern coast offers the perfect escape and comparatively cheap prices. Don’t miss the legendary Pacific sunsets that paint the sky every evening.
Huaraz: The Hiker's Paradise
Discover the breathtaking heights of the Cordillera Blanca, where world-class mountain trails lead to turquoise glacial lakes beneath some of Peru’s highest peaks. Huaraz is the gateway to some of the country’s most spectacular alpine scenery, offering everything from spectacular day hikes to multi-day treks deep into the Andes.
