It is impossible to mention Peru without thinking of the iconic Machu Pichu. High up in the Andes, this Incan city is best visited via a multi-day trek along the ancient Inca Trail.

The walking is challenging, but it only makes the destination even more rewarding; spend a few days in Cuzco preparing for the journey and do stock up on coca leaves. If you'd prefer a slower pace, embark the Andean Explorer and watch as Peru's kaleidoscopic beauty passes you by.


Even if you've seen Lake Titicaca from the Bolivian side, it's worth checking out this glorious spot from the north; homestays with local families can make your stay especially unique. Around Huaraz, you'll find the region's best rock climbing and hiking; unspoiled and under-visited, Huaraz is a rare gem of the authentic Andean outdoors.


Peru's lively history and thriving wildlife provide a sensational trip for a quintessentially South American expedition.
