On these pages you will find ideas for a trip to Peru to help you prepare for your trip. All these ideas are there just to get your imagination going; you can alter, mix and match them as you please. Your local agent will help you create a unique and unforgettable trip, just for you! Peru has three distinct parts, each with its own character: the Pacific coast, which is the most densely populated; the Andes range, with the highest mountain being the towering Huascarán at 6,768 metres; and the Amazon, which covers the largest part of the country. If you’re going, start with the must-see: Machu Picchu – fortunately not found by the Conquistadors – rediscovered in 1911. You should visit it at dawn to see the ruins shrouded in mist. This extraordinary site still clasps a few secrets to its bosom. Not far away, the Andes range draw ramblers and trekkers to magnificent landscapes. The ultimate rambling experience is the Inca Trail through exceptional archaeological sites. During your stay in Peru, you must stop in Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire. The Spanish erected their buildings, especially religious ones, over Inca constructions which they systematically destroyed, only sparing their characteristic foundations, which are still visible today with their large, perfectly cut and fitted stones. A voyage out of time awaits you in Cusco.

Our trip comprised time in Lima; a brief stop on the coast at Paracas; the Nazca/ Palpa lines; hiking in the Colca Canyon; Puno and Lake Titicaca; Cusco; the 4-day Inca Trail trek and Machu Picchu; the Sacred Valley; and finally the Rainforest near Porto Maldonado
We enjoyed all the locations and the diversity as we traveled along but probably the highlight was the Inca Trail trek and Machu Picchu. The sights and the experience was incredible, made even better by Rene our guide and the group of porters
We also very much enjoyed visiting Cusco. The architecture was interesting and the city had a very relaxed feel to it
We have chosen Peru as our holiday destination because of good comments from friends and out of own interest. Our trip was limited to the southern region of Peru: Lima (short visit), Arequipa, Chivay, Colca Valley, Puno, lake Titikaka, Cusco, Machu Picchu, the rainbow mountain and the rainforest in Puerto Maldonado. The travel distances are sometimes long and early wake-ups in the morning are not exceptional, but the country is worth the effort ! Peru offers a well balanced mixture of history, culture, nature and local lifestyle. The well informed and friendly guides made it all even more attractive. Too many pleasant and interesting things to be mentioned in a brief summary...
