Peru Packages and Tours

"We can assure your majesty that it is so beautiful and has such fine buildings that it would even be remarkable in Spain."

---Francisco Pizarro, describing Cuzco in a letter to King Charles V of Spain.

Fascinating Peru

       

The many natural and man-made wonders of Peru have inspired us to offer classic tours to such places as Lima, Cusco/Machu Picchu, the Amazon, Lake Titicaca, the Nasca Lines and to the recently excavated tomb of the Lord of Sipan!

The ancient Inca City of Cusco and the nearby ruins of Machu Picchu are the highlights of any visit to Peru. The surrounding fortresses and Colonial churches are also a must.

Arequipa lies at the foot of the inactive Volcano Misti, surrounded by a beautiful, fertile countryside. Called the “White City” because of the white stone used in most buildings, it has an original and elegant architecture. It is Peru's second largest city and home of the fabulous Santa Catalina Convent, a jewel of 16th century Spanish architecture.

Trains from Cusco or Arequipa puts you at Lake Titicaca, the world's highest (12,500 ft) navigable lake and the legendary birthplace of the Incas. Puno gives you easy access to the famous Uros Indians living on floating reed islands. From Puno, continue to La Paz by day-crossing of the lake, or transfer by plane to Arequipa or Lima.

From Iquitos, in the heart of the Amazon jungle, you can take excursions to the Amazon, visit Yagua Indian villages, explore the jungle and view wildlife, butterflies, birds and the exotic flora.

South of Lima is Paracas, home of a Pre-Inca culture famous for textiles and ceramics and the Ballestas Islands wildlife reserve. Ica, a little further south, is the center of the wine growing district and has an exceptional museum. Also available from here are overflights of the Nazca plains, where enormous figures of animals, birds and people were etched in the desert sand some 2,500 years ago, and remain as testimony of a remarkable and enigmatic culture.

Take the time to make these travels part of your heart and soul.

A valid passport is required for travel to Peru.
