There are few other countries whose name alone evokes such a singular sense of adventure – of mist-swirled mountain peaks, wildlife-rich Amazon rainforest and myth-shrouded ancient ruins. You don’t have to try hard to get off the beaten path here, while high-end contemporary comforts and world-class dining are more commonplace than you might think.
Peru is inherently safe, but travelling in small groups – with someone who knows the lay of the land, and can tap into the local way of life – is the best way to experience it. In light of that, might we humbly suggest our immersive nine-day Ancient Peru Epic Trip as the ideal way to see the best the country has to offer, with the added benefit of being accompanied by a Local Insider – a human key to unique and authentic experiences.
You’ll start in the atmospheric city of Cusco, scattered with archeology and architecture from the Spanish and Incan empires. You’ll learn how to cook Peruvian cuisine and sip the finest, fruitiest local coffee. From Cusco it’s onwards and upwards, literally, into the foothills of the Andes and to Lake Piuray for a stand-up paddleboarding lesson.
No first-time visit to Peru would be complete without a visit to the Sacred Valley of the Incas – which happens to be the next stop on this tour. And if you thought its views were heartstopping, wait until you reach Machu Picchu – the Incan city in the sky. The trip rounds off with a spot of condor spotting in the Colca Canyon, shopping in Chivay’s markets, and a foodie tour of Arequipa to sink your teeth into.
For those with an appetite for adventure, Peru is an all-you-can-eat buffet. Book with us today and prepare for the trip of a lifetime.
