Peru

The most intriguing of all Andean countries.

The cultural and geographical variety 'The Navel of the World' offers, fascinates every tourist, anthropologist, archaeologist and zoologist alike. The cities and temples of the Inka, the mysterious lost city of Machu Picchu, the remains of other highly advanced pre-Columbian civilisations, such as the Nazca, Paracas, Chimu, Moche, etc, each of them are testimonies of high technological wonders, that remain shrouded in mystery. Cities such as Cusco and Cajamarca and Paddington Bear's Lima, preserve the legacy of the Spanish Conquistadors, colonial churches and mansions covered with dazzling ornaments. The Peruvian Andes is home to the highland Indians, the Quechua and Aymara, who still speak their ancient tongue and preserve much of their traditional way of life. Many of the glacier-clad mountains have peaks over 6000 meters and are world famous among hikers and mountaineers. The high Andean valleys are home to many rare animals, such as Vicuna, Viscacha and naturally the Condor. Along its entire coastal strip, is a desert of bare rock and sand. Rivers from the Andes flow through this desert, creating small oases, that have supported many pre-Columbian civilisations. More than half of Peru lies in the verdant Amazon Basin, where exotic plants and animals amaze and intrigue the observant visitor. Much of it unexplored and untouched, it is a naturalist's paradise as well as a giant laboratory. These are just some of the many fascinating features of the most intriguing of all Andean countries: Peru!

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
As you may know and since the begining of this year the government issued a new law regarding the Inca Trail circuit stating the Total Capacity of the Circuit per day which now is a maximum of 500 people including passengers, guides, porters, coockers and other helpers and the National Institute of Culture is in charge of the reception and control of the bookings, so now we need to do our pre-bookings, subject to be re-confirmed and paid at least 30 days prior to the initiation on the program.
Due to these new government regulations, the re-confirmation of our pre.bookings for the Inca Trail have to presented by us to the National Institute of Culture at least 30 days prior to the initiation of the Inca Trail which means you have to book at least 38 days prior to the initiation.
