Tour Peru
Discover Peru XXL

from 1560

17 (21) days – includes accommodation, transfers and 6 days excursions

From Paracas’ coastal desert & Nazca’s mystery to the magic of Machu Picchu

This XL 17-day version is an unforgettable exploration of Peru in all its diversity. You start in Lima, where colonial grandeur, fascinating museums and world-famous gastronomy converge. The journey continues along the coast to Paracas, with its nature reserve and the wildlife of the Ballestas Islands, before reaching Nazca to witness its millennia-old enigma.

From Arequipa, the charming ‘White City’, the adventure takes you deep into the Andes. Explore the spectacular Colca Canyon, where condors soar over dramatic gorges, and arrive at the lofty Lake Titicaca with its floating Uros islands and authentic communities on Amantani and Taquile.

Cuzco forms the historical and cultural climax of the trip. Between cobblestone streets, Inca walls and colonial churches, you also discover the surrounding archaeological sites. The grand finale awaits at Machu Picchu, wrapped in mist and surrounded by jungle. From coast to Andes: an enthralling portrait of Peru.

Highlights of this tour

Machu Picchu, the 7th Wonder of the World

No journey to Peru is complete without visiting Machu Picchu. This iconic Inca stronghold, high in the Andes and often shrouded in mist, is one of the Seven New Wonders of the World and must be reserved well in advance. Everything is arranged for you: entry ticket, transport and guide. That first glimpse of the citadel is unforgettable, the highlight of your trip, etched forever in your memory.

Hotels & Meals

In Peru, each region has its own flavours and flairs when it comes to cooking. At any stage during your travel you will be able to try out something new. And it's a big country, so there’s a big choice !!! Tomatoes, potatoes, corn and red peppers are the main ingredients of the Peruvian cuisine!

Typical dishes are ceviche (raw fish marinated in lime juice), aji de gallina (chicken, processed yellow chili sauce) and recotto relleno (chilli peppers stuffed with meat, potatoes and eggs). Do not be surprised if you are served guinea pig, cuy in Peruvian. This is a very popular dish among locals and highly recommended!

Make sure to try Peru’s national drink, Pisco Sour. This cocktail is made with lime, sugar, water and egg white and is a true delight, for the alcohol lovers amongst you!
