Peru

Peru MapsWhen it comes to nature's gifts, Peru seems to have stolen the lion's share.  It possesses the world's most biodiverse rainforests, breathtaking mountains, vast lakes, plunging sheer canyons, extensive deserts and a long Pacific coastline.  Combined with such cultural treasures as magical Machu Picchu, Cusco and a host of other pre-columbian sites and Spanish colonial cities, it is easy to understand why Peru is one of South America's most appealing destinations.
Wildlife-wise, the rainforest reserves of south east Peru are regarded as being the most species-rich in all Amazonia. Parrot clay licks provide awesome avian spectacles, oxbow lakes hold families of giant otter and towering jungle platforms afford unrivalled views over verdant rainforest  canopies.

We offer a selection of itineraries showcasing the best in natural history and culture that Peru has to offer. Peru’s Amazing Amazonian and Andean Attractions visits some of the best Amazonian and Andean locations to produce a well-rounded, absorbing wildlife and archaeology holiday; The Manu Overland Adventure – With Machu Picchu encompasses all three Manu Reserve habitats, and ancient Inca sites; The Complete Peru Explorer covers a multitude of attractions including the Amazon, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, Colca Canyon, Nazca Lines and Paracas; Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands combines the top two ‘must see’ destinations in South America – the magnificent Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, and a seven night cruise around the Galapagos Islands; whilst the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu is for the more active traveller with an interest in trekking and wildlife, and includes three nights under canvas hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

Peru Holidays

 

When to Go

The overriding influence of the Andes causes the climate of Peru to vary widely from region to region. However, the dry season for both the Andes and the Amazon basin normally lasts from  April to October. Mean temperatures differ according to altitude.
