Peru

Peru has always seemed like a quest, a discovery for travellers. Once the centre of the worlds largest empire, ruled by the legendary Inca, it became the land of Eldorado as Spanish adventurers crossed the high Andes chasing rumours of gold. In our age, archaeologists have followed the same routes in search of lost cities, half-buried fortresses and tombs of mummies. In Peru, all the drama of South America seems to be contained in one country. Machu Picchu and the ancient Inca civilisation, Lake Titicaca and the mysterious jungles of Iquitos are just some of the magical sights which await the visitor to Peru. Peru is now yours to discover!

Our Thoughts

Peru, where the main language is Spanish, can be visited all year round. The jungle is consistently hot, humid and rainy. A flexible attitude is required when travelling in less developed areas. Minor problems can occur and it is important to recognise that guides, drivers and other local staff are not as experienced in tourism as those in more developed countries. Often the journey to see Peru’s ancient monuments and unique natural features can be long, tiring and strenuous, as you will be more than 2 miles above sea level at times. A healthy constitution and an adaptable state of mind are recommended for this fantastic tour.
