Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Andean markets and the Amazon rainforest.
Peru is the heart of the Inca world: Cusco's stone streets, the terraces and markets of the Sacred Valley and, of course, Machu Picchu rising from the cloud forest at the end of the Inca Trail.
Beyond the Andes, Lima is one of the world's great food cities, Lake Titicaca's floating islands keep ancient traditions alive, and the Amazon is a short flight away. Time at altitude is built into every itinerary.
The places our guides insist you shouldn't miss, many of them included in our Peru tours.
