Intro
Steeped in ancient history, Peru is one of the most captivating countries in South America. From the depths of Colca Canyon, where condors swoop overhead, to the dizzy heights of Lake Titicaca, where indigenous people inhabit handmade reed islands, let us take you on an enthralling voyage of discovery that takes in one of the most scenic train journeys in the world, aboard the unforgettable Titicaca Train, and culminates at the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu.
With countless sites of historical and archaeological importance, stunning scenery and a burgeoning gastronomy scene - ceviche, locally grown avocado and quinoa feature prominently on restaurant menus - what will you discover on your visit to Peru?

Spot the bizarre ‘Cock of the Rock’ and other rich bird life in the cloud forests of Manu Biosphere Reserve. The Andean condor can be seen soaring above Colca Canyon and the Andes is also home to spectacled bears and pumas (sightings are rare). Iquitos is the gateway to the Amazon Basin from pink Amazonian dolphins to secretive jaguars. Near Lima are the Ballestas Islands where one can see Humboldt penguins, Inca terns, sealions and Peruvian pelicans.
Festivals
It is well worth considering timing your Peru trip to coincide with a festival. The spectacular Fiesta del Inti Raymi takes place near Cusco with traditional Incan rituals and processions. Semana Santa is celebrated one week before Easter and involves elaborate processions around the country. Puno week takes place in November where the appearance of the founders of the Incan empire is re enacted at Lake Titicaca.
Treks & Hikes
The Inca Trail is Peru’s most famous trek but there are plenty of other impressive hikes in the country. The challenging 5-day Ausangate Trek showcases some of Peru’s finest scenery. Navigate the depths of Cotahuasi Canyon (twice as deep as the Grand Canyon) where you can see hanging bridges, waterfalls and, with luck, the magnificent Andean condor. In northern Peru explore the enigmatic remains of Kuelap, a remote fortress-city, and other tantalising sights along with Gocta, the world’s third highest waterfall.
