Details
Combine a visit to the centuries-old Inca festival of Inti Raymi with a highlight-packed journey through the spectacular landscapes of Peru, including coastal desert, snow-capped Andean peaks, the altiplano and cloud forest. Along the way, we visit world-renowned highlights, including: the mysterious Nazca Lines; Machu Picchu, one of the New Wonders of the World; Lake Titicaca, where we spend the night in an island homestay; and the 9,843ft (3,000m) deep Colca Canyon. We also encounter traditional culture, condors, llamas, and a warm welcome from the Peruvian people.
