Trekking, riding, cultural sightseeing, inca ruins, amazon, wildlife viewings, bird watching, shopping, river rafting

Colonial cities, lakes, mountains, deserts, rainforest, ancient ruins and a rich culture combine to make Peru a microcosm of South America and a great introduction to its variety and appeal. While the cathedral city of Cuzco and the iconic Inca site of Machu Picchu should be included in any first-time itinerary, we always try to combine them with something more off the beaten track. (indeed, we even know how you can experience Machu Picchu without the crowds.)

Given Peru’s altitude, you’ll need expert advice to design a well-paced itinerary and, as with all of our destinations, the quality of your guides is absolutely key. With the right advice and backup you can take a private trek to remote villages and ruins in the Sacred Valley; you can trek on horseback to visit the condors in the remote and spectacular Colca valley and also spend time on the magical islands of Lake Titicaca or in a remote Amazonian lodge.

Best visited: April to October

All itineraries are individually designed, but as a guide, we can arrange ten days in Peru (excluding flights) from £3300 per person.
