About this trip

This 15-day route runs the length of southern Peru, from Lima's coast down to Arequipa and up into the Andes, finishing at Machu Picchu. It's a fully guided trip with a group, so logistics and transport between stops are taken care of.

Along the way you'll take in the desert landscapes around Paracas and Nazca, the volcanic scenery of Arequipa and Colca Canyon, and the altiplano around Lake Titicaca before reaching Cusco and the Sacred Valley.

It's pitched as an easy-paced trip suited to families and groups, with a Christmas and New Year departure among the options.

  • Fly over or view the Nazca Lines
