Discover A Fascinating History & Culture in Peru

The history of this fascinating culture is evident in vast areas of this country. The most iconic sight is Machu Picchu, located high in the mist shrouded Andes mountains. Allow yourself time to explore this mesmerising spectacle and learn how it was thought to be constructed. A personal highlight for us was scrambling up Huayna Picchu for the best view of Machu Picchu.

The nearby city of Cusco and the Sacred Valley are full of excellent experiences and archeological gems to visit! Leave room in your suitcase for the artisan craft shops in Cusco and its vibrant market with woollen goods.

There are also many archeological sites from Peruvian cultures that existed before the Incas. Kuelap, the ancient citadel perced high on a limestone ridge, will make you feel like you are in an Indiana Jones film.
