For a shot in the arm of South American culture, head to Peru. This country lives and breathes its Inca heritage from impressive archaeological sites perched impossibly in the Andes to colourful communities, where Inca arts, crafts and cuisine still thrive. We dare you to try the guinea pig. Drop some 3000m and you hit steamy rainforests; take a cruise along their rivers to see caiman, pink river dolphin and stunning Amazon sunsets. To the coast, the Andes make way for deserts hiding mysterious, centuries-old drawings in the sand.

Lima
Many fly in and straight out, but if you have time, spend a couple of days in Lima, the city is jam-packed with fantastic museums, shops and restaurants.
Cuzco
At an altitude of 3380m, Cuzco crackles with energy, a fascinating melting pot of Inca and Hispanic cultures. Spend a week here at La Casona and you’ll still leave wanting more.
Machu Picchu
Location, location, location. Spectacular Inca site in a stunning subtropical Andean setting. Stay at Inkaterra Machu Picchu and discover the sacred sites. See Peru by Rail and River and take the luxurious Hiram Bingham train for a trip of a lifetime.
Sacred Valley
Just outside Cuzco, the Sacred Valley of the Incas is a simply beautiful spot dotted with tiny villages and ancient Inca towns. A great base for exploring all that the area has to offer and ideal for active types – here you can trek, bike, raft and paraglide.
Treks
Even without the Inca sites along the way, trekking in Peru would be up there with some of the best in the world. From the ever-popular Inca Trail to wilderness treks where you won’t see a soul for days, we make sure you trek in style.
Arequipa & the Colca Canyon
Handsome, colonial Arequipa is well worthy of a day or two before the journey into the stunning Colca Canyon. Gorgeous scenery where condors soar and ancient communities still farm the Inca terracing.
Lake Titicaca
Lake Titicaca is, as the guidebooks will tell you, the world’s highest navigable lake. It’s also an eerie, mystical place, home to ancient cultures living amongst the reeds, remote islands and magical landscapes lit by heavenly Andean sunshine. Where to stay? Titilaka.
Amazon
Peru’s Amazon basin teems with wildlife and exotic plants, a pristine wilderness spanning more than five million acres. Take a luxury cruise along its waters to explore its treasures in style.
Nazca Lines
Spectacular and still unexplained ancient geometrical and animal designs, covering 220 square kilometres of desert plains. The Nazca Lines are, mystifyingly, still only distinguishable from the air. Take an over flight and see for yourself.
