- Peru's national drink, the Pisco sour
- The intricate incan masonry in Cuzco
Gaze in awe at the soaring peaks of the Andes, arguably the world’s most magnificent and imposing mountain range; listen to the haunting sounds of the traditional panpipes; take a spectacular train ride through the Andes to Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas; admire the brilliant coloured artefacts produced by the weavers and potters; and enjoy the beauty and symmetry of the Spanish colonial architecture.
Peru is a land steeped in history and our tour will introduce you to the highlights of this truly fascinating country. Our itinerary has been designed so that, after your stay in Lima, your first nights in the high Andes are spent in the pretty mountain village of Yucay, set in the fertile Sacred Valley of the Incas, some 2000 feet lower than Cuzco offering time to acclimatise.
