Why Peru?

Lima pulses with creativity, where the city's dynamic art scene and rich history blend seamlessly into its lively urban fabric. The Sacred Valley captivates with its ancient Incan ruins, offering a glimpse into the mysteries of a bygone civilization. Meanwhile, the Amazon rainforest does not disappoint with its extraordinary biodiversity, awe-inspiring hikes, and the chance to connect with indigenous shamans in a land of untouched beauty. 

Experiences

In the heart of the Inca empire, Peru’s rich cultural heritage comes alive through unique encounters. Whether seeking out the vibrant scarlet macaw during a luxury Amazon boat trip, flying over the Sacred Valley’s Inca ruins in a helicopter, or joining a local shaman for an unforgettable Andean earth ceremony, Peru is a destination like none other.

White-water rafting in the Sacred Valley along the Urubamba River, surrounded by stunning Andean landscapes, feels otherworldly. Pass through picturesque villages and lush valleys to take it all in. The Nazca Lines, carved into the desert floor over 2,000 years ago, remain an enigma—vast, intricate designs that defy explanation. 

Peru’s gastronomic scene is a must for food lovers. Home to thousands of potato varieties, Peru’s culinary influence extends beyond its borders. A private visit with Manuel Choqque, the "potato whisperer," in the Sacred Valley offers insight into the country’s agricultural heritage.

Go beyond the typical Inca Trail and venture through less-explored parts of the Sacred Valley. With our private guide, you’ll visit indigenous villages rich in tradition and enjoy special access to the Sun Gate—an ancient entrance to Machu Picchu. For those with limited time, a breathtaking train ride brings you to the doorstep of the famed site, where you can trek the final stretch.

Lake Titicaca’s ancient pre-Inca history will leave you spellbound. Beyond the famous floating islands, explore the islands of Taquile and Copamaya, where vibrant cultural celebrations such as the Puno Week parade immerse you in local traditions.

Finally, delve into the vast Amazon rainforest, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Whether through a luxury river cruise or by joining a conservation project at the Tambopata Research Centre.
