Our Wonders of Peru tailor-made tour encompasses the key highlights of a holiday to Peru and is the perfect in depth introduction to one of Latin America's most diverse countries. Start your trip with a visit to the bustling coastal capital city of Lima, with a chance to see the modern Peru with its established gastronomy scene and high quality accommodation, as well as its colonial charm and attractive historical centre.
Continue your trip to one of Peru's most photogenic cities nestled in the far south of the country, where the 'White City' of Arequipa is framed by El Misti volcano. Here you have the opportunity to step back in time as you meander through the Santa Catalina convent, founded in 1580, before then venturing up into the Andes mountains, for a night staying in beautiful Colca Valley.
From here you have the chance to spot the majestic Condor in the Colca Canyon, en route to arriving at the shimmering Lake Titicaca. Cross the high-altitude lake with a visit to the traditional Uros floating reed islands before arriving at the heart of the ancient Inca Empire and the city of Cuzco. No holiday to Peru is complete without a visit to this charming city with its cobbled streets, colourfully dressed locals and well-preserved colonial buildings that all create a magical energy. Complete your Peruvian archaeological adventure at Machu Picchu citadel, arriving by train to discover the history, architecture and beliefs of the Incas before the Spanish invasion.
Finally, having travelling through the magical highlands of Peru, you have the chance to experience an entirely different ecosystem, as you visit the lush Amazon Rainforest. You stay at an Amazon lodge and have the opportunity to explore the diverse wildlife of the largest rainforest in the world.
Please note that this is a suggested itinerary and can be amended around any of your personal preferences, travel dates or flight schedules, allowing total flexibility for longer stays in a certain part of the country or to omit something that you are not looking to do.
