Peru Highlights

We take you around southern Peru and then along the Inca Trail to the lost city of Machu Picchu on our adventure holiday.

Arequipa and its condors

We fly first to the colonial city of Arequipa and the dramatic landscapes of the Colca Canyon. This canyon is one of the deepest in the world and a great place to spot the Andean condors.

Lake Titicaca

From Arequipa we fly to the market town of Juliaca on the altiplano (High Plateau), and continue by bus to the lakeshore town of Puno, at a breathtaking 3830 metres.

Lake Titicaca is a beautiful deep blue colour and is the world's highest navigable lake. We make a two-day lake trip to visit the Indians of Taquile Island, one of Peru's most unique and beautiful spots.

Cusco

Next to Cusco, the heart of the Inca Empire and hub of activity for local highland Indians trading in today’s busy markets. This is a beautiful city with plenty to see and an active nightlife to suit all tastes.

Inca Trail

Now well acclimatised, we set out from Cusco for the Inca Trail. This stunning four day trek along the royal road leads us to the enigmatic site of Machu Picchu.

Check our Books and Maps section where you will find a range of literature to help you get the most out of your South American adventure.

Amazon rainforest extension

This tour can be complemented with our 3, 4, 5, 7 or 9-day extensions into the Amazon wildlife paradises of the Manu or Tambopata reserves.
