Land of the Incas
Peru is the ultimate destination for adventurous travellers. Walk the legendary Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, explore the Amazon rainforest from a luxury jungle lodge, trek through the world’s deepest canyons, and discover a culinary scene that rivals any on the planet. From the Andes to the Amazon, Peru delivers extraordinary experiences at every turn.
The Inca Trail is Peru’s most iconic trek — a four-day journey through cloud forest and Inca ruins that culminates at the Sun Gate with your first view of Machu Picchu at dawn. Permits are strictly limited to 500 per day (including guides and porters), so booking 6-12 months in advance is essential. For those seeking alternatives, the Salkantay Trek and Lares Trek offer equally stunning routes with fewer restrictions.
Beyond Cusco and the Sacred Valley, Peru’s adventure continues. The Colca Canyon, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, is home to soaring Andean condors. Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake, straddles the Peruvian-Bolivian border and its floating Uros Islands are one of South America’s most remarkable cultural encounters. In the south, the Nazca Lines remain one of archaeology’s greatest mysteries.
The dry season (May to October) is the best time for trekking in the Andes and the Inca Trail. The Amazon is accessible year-round. British passport holders do not need a visa for stays up to 183 days. The currency is the Peruvian sol. Lima is served by direct overnight flights from London, making Peru highly accessible from the UK.
