This captivating tour offers the perfect introduction to Peru taking in the very best of this magical country. It combines the country’s rich Inca heritage with its remarkable colonial legacy and the picturesque grandeur of the Peruvian Andes.
After a couple of nights in historic Lima on the shores of the Pacific, we fly into the heart of the Andes to explore the Inca strongholds of Cusco and Machu Picchu, as well as the traditional Indian markets of the ‘Sacred Valley’. We then board the Belmond Andean Explorer for a stunning two-day rail journey across the high ‘Altiplano’ to Lake Titicaca and the Colca Canyon, where Andean condors wheel on the thermals rising from its depths, before a final couple of nights in the beautiful ‘white city’ of Arequipa.
