Explore the mysteries of the Andes Mountains, the timeless cultures of this ancient South American country, and the flora and fauna of the Ballestos Islands and the Amazon rainforest!
Take a breathtaking journey through the Andes aboard the Vistadome train to Machu Picchu, Lost City of the Incas. Paddle out to meet the Uros people who live on the floating islands of Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake. Visit a living museum to learn centuries-old Andean methods of spinning, dyeing, and weaving traditional textiles. And see colourful birdlife while staying in a rustic yet luxurious jungle lodge.
Highlights include the Museum of Gold in Lima (the City of Kings, a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Cuzco (heart of the Inca civilization), Ollantaytambo (an architectural treasure), Puno (birthplace of the Inca empire), Tambopata National Reserve, the Paracas National Reserve, and the remarkable Ballestas Islands (Peru’s version of the Galápagos, home to sea lions, penguins, boobies, pelicans, and cormorants). All this and more!
