Peru
Images of Peru: Nazca Lines from the air, condors wheeling over Colca Canyon, glorious Machu Picchu. Classic icons set in a rugged land. Some visitors are surprised, then, to encounter some of the Amazon’s richest jungle experiences are here too: the macaws and parrots gathering around a clay lick is as joyously colourful a sight, as wildly cacophonous a treat, as any Incan market in Cusco or Pisac. Elsewhere, the islands dotting vast Lake Titicaca – absurdly clear light, impossibly high altitude, lost-in-time cultures – are unforgettable, and the Inca Trail, a tough, rugged, inspiring trek, is one of the world’s great walks. Or head north, to trek in Peru’s northern Cordillera, the highest tropical mountains in the world, where solitary splendour and widescreen panoramas await.

Lima to La Paz
Mike - New Zealand, 26 Dec, 2011
A well organised trip to an exciting destination. The people we met from the guides to the locals, without exception were very friendly. A relatively safe destination with the usual precautions. Definitely do the flights over Nazca and don't be put off by warnings. They are very safe and professional.
An amazing variety of stunning landscapes.
Learn a little Spanish, it goes a long way.

The tour leaders Jhon Smith Garcia Marquez (PE) and Gonzalo Jiminez (BO) were both excellent. They were caring, friendly, considerate, knowledgeable and both protected and looked after us and challenged us to extend our experiences into the life and culture of these two countries. Their choices of guides and drivers were superb and we not only enjoyed the experiences but also learned so much.
