PERU - LAND OF THE INCAS

A  celebration of landscape and culture. Visit Lima the capital; ‘The White City’ of Arequipa, nestling at the foot of the snow-capped El Misti volcano. Cusco is a fabulous city of terracotta roofs and cobblestone streets where Inca and Spanish cultures blend. Marvel at the colourful Inti Raymi – ‘Festival of the Sun’ celebrated on the Winter solstice. Explore the Sacred Valley and ‘The Lost City of the Incas’, the magnificent Machu Picchu, undoubtedly the most important archaeological site in South America. The Peruvian Andes are truly spectacular and home to millions of highland Indians who still maintain their traditional way of life. Visit Colca Canyon, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon; see bowler-hatted Quechua Indians tending their llamas; take a boat trip on the wonderful Lake Titicaca to view the Uros ‘floating islands’ and fly over the mysterious Nazca Lines.
