About Peru Tours

The Andes run through Peru and showcase many reminders of the Incan Empire that once ruled the land (check out the Legacy of the Incas tour). On your tour of Peru, be sure to see the ancient Inca ruins, including the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu was once a center of worship, an astronomic observatory and the private retreat of the family of Inca ruler Pachacutec. In 2007 Machu Picchu was elected as one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, along with the Chinese Great Wall, Rome's Coliseum and the Taj Mahal in India.

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, nestled deep in the Cuzco cloud forest, is Peru’s most popular hiking destination. The trails here are welcoming to both experienced hikers and casual trekkers alike. Extreme-sport lovers will find a wealth of adventure in Peru, from dune buggy rides in the desert to river running in the Amazon and surfing the Peruvian coastline. Daring tourists may also want to try a local delicacy, guinea pig meat!

Peru tours likely include a festival—Peru is host to more than 3,000 festivals every year, so you’re sure to find something to suit everyone. Enjoy a day of shopping for local handicrafts such as jewellery, wall carpets and wood carvings. And check out the well-known Mejia Lagoons National Sanctuary—did you know that Peru has the second highest number of bird species in the entire world?
