MORE INFO ABOUT PERU

There are few other countries whose name alone evokes such a singular sense of adventure – of mist-swirled mountain peaks, wildlife-rich Amazon rainforest and myth-shrouded ancient ruins. You don’t have to try hard to get off the beaten path here, while high-end contemporary comforts and world-class dining are more commonplace than you might think.

Peru is inherently safe, but travelling in small groups – with someone who knows the lay of the land, and can tap into the local way of life – is the best way to experience it. In light of that, might we humbly suggest our immersive nine-day Ancient Peru Epic Trip as the ideal way to see the best the country has to offer, with the added benefit of being accompanied by a Local Insider – a human key to unique and authentic experiences.
