Peru

Standing on the edge of the spectacular Colca Canyon you may have a moment of revelation. This canyon is so large and high that you may not be able to comprehend its true scale. Until your guide points out that the tiny birds soaring effortlessly beneath you are, in fact, huge Andean Condors.

You could immerse yourself in any of the 3,000 spectacularly colourful local festivals, explore Abancay - the Valley of the White Lilies – or walk, in wonder, along the site of the ancient Nazca lines. Were they really a message to visitors from outer space?
