Machu
Picchu
This
"Lost City of the Incas" is the jewel in
the crown of Peru. Perched on a mountain top this
mystical citadel afords amazing views in breathtaking
scenery. You can enjoy a one or two day visit by train
or can walk there along the famous Inca Trail or the
Salcantay Trek.

Cusco
The
most famous city in Peru rightly claims to be the most
beautiful. Cusco was "the Navel of the Inca Empire"
and center of the kingdom. It is the longest constantly
inhabited city on the planet and is a lovely mixture
of pre-Inca, Inca and Colonial structures. You could
spend weeks here without getting bored! |

The
Sacred Valley
The
Sacred Valley was the playground and garden of the Inca
nobility and an escaped from the cold of Cusco. the
valley is scattered with inca ruins and is extremely
beautiful. taking a tour with us you will visit this
valley and probably stay overnight in Ollantaytambo.
Some of the small villages have changed little over
the years. |

Lake
Titicaca
This
is the highest navigable lake in the world at 4000 meters
above sea level. The lake is divided between Bolivia
and Peru and a visit to both sides is possible. Visits
can include the floating Uros Islands, Taquile island
and an obvernight stay with a local family on Amantani
island. Its a great experience! |
 |
Arequipa
The
"White City" is an interesting and beautiful
city to visit. At 2300m it is the ideal stop en route
to Puno or Cusco for acclimatization. The huge Santa
Catalina Convent is a must see as is the frozen "Junaita"
mummy which was found on the top of a nearby volcano.
Arequipa is also the entry point for the Colca Canyon.

Colca
Canyon
This
is either the deepest or the second deepest canyon in
the world (disputed with the Cotahuasi next door) It
is twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the USA. The
scenery is breathtaking and you will see Condors and
Vicunas on your trip. You will stay in Colca one or
two nights depending which tour you choose with us. |
 |
Nazca
Lines
These
huge lines and figures in the desert just outside the
town of Nazca are very impressive and a flight over
them will be something you will never forget. The theories
abound as to what the lines are for and who made them,
you can decide for yourself during your 25 minute flight.

Ballestas
Islands
Paracas is the coastal
fishing village which serves the Ballestas Islands,
known as the Peruvian mini Galapagos Islands. A 3-hour
boat trip out to these islands affords some great close-up
views of seabirds, penguins, sealions and sometimes
dolphins. |
