An exciting food scene, ancient cities and the full spectrum of landscapes spanning ocean, rainforest, lakes and mountains.

A panoramic view of the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu with its lofty peaks and scattered 15^th century ruins set against the light-dappled magnificence of the Sacred Valley is enough to tick the box for trip-of-a-lifetime.

But if you’re going to make a pilgrimage to one of the seven wonders of the world, an expert guide makes all the difference.  We’ll grant you unfettered access and help you avert the tourist throngs with the deftness of Indiana Jones dodging a boulder.

And beyond Machu Picchu, there’s so much more to explore in this megadiverse country. Stretching from tropical Pacific shores in the west to the Amazonian tributaries in the east is the best birdwatching on the planet (20% of the world’s entire species), snow-peaked mountains, cloud forests, and the twists and turns of high Andean plains.

Peru holds the cards for gastronomic, archaeological and historical excellence in the region. Nowhere else in the Americas can give you such a window into the civilizations that existed before the Spanish conquest. Yes, a mist-shrouded Machu Picchu will knock you for six. But wait until you see the rest.
