Lima starter pack
Lima is the most obvious arrival point of your international flight from the UK. When you step off the plane feeling slightly bedraggled at the end of a long flight it’s nice to know you don’t need to worry about finding a hotel for the night. You'll be staying in a charming colonial casa in a leafy peaceful district, close to the sea and round the corner from restaurants, bars and the sights of Lima. Breathe in that typical Latino atmosphere and gaze in awe at the colonial palaces and cathedrals and get your first taste of Peruvian cuisine. |

Peru adventure tours: along the coast

Coastal Road to Nazca

Peru adventure tours: Lake Titicaca
Typically Titicaca
The first stop on the boat trip is the Uros Islands or Islas Flotantes, entirely built of floating reed. You’ll then sail on to Taquile Island, inhabited by native Indians. Here you’ll go on a walk across the terraced fields and stop for lunch at a local restaurant (try the fish, freshly from the lake). In the afternoon you’ll head back to Puno and as the sun sets across Titicaca the captain will navigate you through the floating reed fields into Puno harbour.

Titicaca island hopping
You’ll need to have a flexible attitude and be prepared to go basic. You’ll have dinner with the family, sleep in a basic bed with shared ‘toilet’ and bathroom facilities with the rest of the family. In return, you’ll be treated to a memorable Titicaca experience. The sunset is breathtaking and in the evening the islanders often have a surprise in store for their guests… Click here for more about our Titicaca islands tour. |
The ancient Inca city Machu Picchu and the breathtaking surrounding Sacred Valley will undoubtedly be the highlight of your Peru trip. You’ll be counting the days until you get to see the lost city looming up from the mist. Build up the excitement and take your time acclimatising in Cuzco for a couple of easy walks to get used to the altitude. Wander across the colourful markets and visit some of the nearby ruins for a taste of what’s in store. |

Combining Peru with BoliviaAdd even more variety to your Latin American adventure by combining Peru with Bolivia. The two countries are connected by Lake Titicaca. Bolivia is the most traditional country in South America and also one of the most interesting. Far from the well-trodden tourist track you’ll travel Bolivia by train, bus and jeep across the breathtaking landscape of the Andean highlands to immense salt pans and the Amazonian rainforest. Plan plenty of time for this undiscovered Latin American gem and experience a close encounter with the hard-working, rosy-cheeked, bowler-hatted Bolivians.Click here for more about our Bolivia adventure tours. |
Amazon Jungle Lodge
A stay in the Amazon jungle is a great way to round off your Peru trip. The warm, tropical rainforest here will make a refreshing change to the thin air of the mountain plateaus. This is a chance to experience the quintessential Amazonian jungle and some of the most unspoilt, dense rainforest you’ll find anywhere in the country. |
