WHY YOU SHOULD TRAVEL WITH US

Explore Machu Picchu with expert archaeologists and researchers

Hike Huchoy Qosqo, the Lares, Salkantay and the lesser-known trails of the Sacred Valley.

Swot up on your knowledge of indigenous grains and tubers and learn traditional ancestral cooking techniques like pachamanca and huatia.

Tour the pisco distilleries south of Lima.

Take the luxury sleeper train between Cusco, Lake Titicaca and Arequipa.

Pitch up on the hippy chic beaches of Mancora for surf, sun and ceviche.

Spot condors and explore the villages and Inca terraces of the Colca Canyon, that’s twice as deep the Grand Canyon.

Tour Lima’s food markets before a cooking masterclasses with top chefs.

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

Add to that, ancient enigmas like the Nazca lines and relics of bygone civilizations like the Moche and Chachapoya, plus Lima’s contemporary art, fashion and food scene, and the adventure of a lifetime awaits.

“Guides that became friends“

Seeing as I was a solo traveller, both Veronica and Walter helped make my visits to Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu memorable and I felt I was traveling with helpful friends rather than disinterested employees. My thanks to both of them for making my visit one that I will remember for a long time!
