About this trip

Fifteen days through southern Peru, taking in the coastal landscapes of Paracas, the food scene in Arequipa, the high Andes, and the Incan sites strung along the Sacred Valley to Cusco.

This is a partially guided trip, so you'll have guided sections mixed with time to explore on your own, moving through some of the country's most storied ground at a moderate pace.

It's set up with families and groups in mind, covering a lot of ground without rushing through any one place.

What you'll do

  • Take in the coastal and desert landscapes around Paracas
  • Try Arequipa's local cuisine, regarded as some of Peru's best
  • Travel into the high Andes
  • Visit traditional villages on Lake Titicaca
  • Explore Incan archaeological sites through the Sacred Valley to Cusco
Good to know
  • Moderate pace over 15 days with a fair amount of ground covered
  • Partially guided — expect a mix of guided activities and free time
  • Suits families and groups travelling together
