Between the Andes mountain range and Amazon rainforest
Peru displays its contrasting landscapes from the Pacific coast to the snow-capped peaks of the mountain range, crossed by the sacred Inca valley. Lima buzzes with its colorful markets while Cusco preserves its finely cut stone walls, witnesses to a thousand-year-old empire. The thin air of the altiplano carries the sounds of pan flutes, while the Amazon canopy resounds with the song of macaws.
Each region reveals a distinct facet of this country with three worlds: the desert coast dotted with green oases, the Andean highlands where Quechua traditions persist, and the tropical rainforest that is home to exceptional biodiversity. A tailor-made journey allows you to discover this complex geography at your own pace and according to your interests.
What to absolutely see in Peru?
Machu Picchu remains the absolute must-see, this Inca citadel perched at 2,430 meters altitude that reveals its perfect architecture in the morning mist. The Sacred Valley stretches its ancient agricultural terraces between Ollantaytambo and Pisac, dotted with villages where Quechua dialects still resound. Cusco, the ancient center of the Inca world, blends pre-Hispanic stones and colonial architecture in its paved streets. Lake Titicaca, an inland sea at 3,812 meters altitude, is home to the floating islands of the Uros and preserves the ancestral traditions of lakeside peoples. Peruvian Amazonia, from Iquitos or Puerto Maldonado, offers immersion in one of the planet's richest forests.
What type of trip should you choose?
A stay in Peru requires a minimum of 12 days to grasp the major sites, ideally 15 to 21 days to include the Amazon or explore lesser-known regions such as Arequipa and Colca Canyon. The altitude demands progressive acclimatization, particularly in Cusco and on the altiplano. The trip is suited for lovers of pre-Columbian history, mountain trekking and authentic cultural discoveries. Indicative budget: €2,800 to €4,500 per person depending on duration, accommodation level and chosen extensions.
