Peru Tours

Machu Picchu is Peru's most extraordinary and iconic destination — a UNESCO World Heritage Site of extraordinary 15th-century Inca ruins perched on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley, often described as the most extraordinary archaeological site in the Americas. Machu Picchu is most often accessed via scenic train rides through the Urubamba Valley to Aguas Calientes — the beautiful mountain town at the base of Machu Picchu from which visitors ascend to the extraordinary Lost City by bus or on foot. The classic Inca Trail is a multi-day trek to Machu Picchu — the 4-day, 43-kilometre Inca Trail through extraordinary cloud forest, alpine tundra, and ancient Inca archaeological sites arriving at the Sun Gate above Machu Picchu at sunrise is one of the world's most extraordinary and bucket list trekking adventures. The Sacred Valley is home to traditional Andean markets and extraordinary archaeological sites — the Pisac market, the Ollantaytambo fortress, and the extraordinary Moray agricultural terraces reveal the extraordinary sophistication and beauty of Inca civilization in one of Peru's most rewarding and authentic valley landscapes.

Cusco — the former capital of the Inca Empire and one of South America's most extraordinary colonial cities — rewards every traveler with an extraordinary layering of Inca stonework beneath Spanish colonial architecture in one of the Americas' most historically rich and beautiful cities. Colca Canyon is roughly twice as deep as the Grand Canyon — the extraordinary 10,827-foot-deep Colca Canyon, where Andean condors soar on thermal air currents above the canyon's extraordinary terraced Andean landscapes, is one of Peru's most spectacular and unforgettable natural wonders. Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world — the extraordinary sacred lake of the Inca civilization, home to the Indigenous Uros people (who live on extraordinary floating islands made of totora reeds), and the extraordinary Taquile and Amantani islands of indigenous communities, is one of South America's most extraordinary and spiritual travel destinations. The Peruvian Amazon from Iquitos or Puerto Maldonado — Peru is one of the world's megadiverse countries, and the extraordinary biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest including monkeys, caimans, river dolphins, and thousands of extraordinary plant and wildlife species makes Peru's Amazon one of the world's greatest nature adventure destinations.
