About the trip

This two-week journey across Peru begins in the coastal desert with a visit to Paracas National Park and its Ballestas Islands, home to wildlife observed more casually than in a zoo. Then it ascends to Arequipa, where a cooking class reveals the city’s culinary roots within a colonial backdrop and you can stroll the vast Santa Catalina Convent.

Lake Titicaca introduces its traditional communities through a boat tour and a community lunch, offering a rare insight into lakeside life above 3,800 metres. The Sacred Valley’s ruins and villages unfold en route to Machu Picchu, where a scenic train approach sets the stage for a guided walk around the Inca citadel’s tiers and temples. Finally, vibrant Cusco offers a planetarium visit and a city tour that hint at its Inca Empire past.

G Adventures leads this small-group tour, balancing included activities with moments to explore. Altitude is a steady companion, and local flavours and crafts are woven throughout rather than presented as add-ons.
