Best Peru Tours & Trips

Peru is an intriguing country known for its rich and diverse landscapes, and on Peru tours you can experience them all! Many people think that because there is so much travelling involved, the cost of these tours must be expensive. Not true – you can take advantage of many Peru travel deals with special offers that include group discounts or reward points towards your next exciting destination.

Many Peru vacation packages cut the cost by bundling, accommodation, meals, admission to attractions, domestic airfare, and ground transportation altogether for a convenient rate.

Many of these convenient tours begin in Peru’s capital city of Lima. You can join a sightseeing tour of Lima and spend a day or two exploring its wonders before venturing out into the rest of the country. In Lima some of the best attractions are:

• San Francisco Church with its impressive lattice dome. The catacombs below the church were once part of Lima’s cemeteries and contain over 70,000 bodies.

• Plaza de Armas where you can visit the Presidential Palace and see the changing of the guard at 12 noon daily.

• Plaza San Martin with its many examples of colonial architecture which are splendidly illuminated in the evening.

Peru tours from Lima take in you in all directions to experience all this marvelous country has to offer. Here is a sample of what you can do on a Peru multi-day tour package from Lima.

• The Peruvian Amazon – Head out into the untamed Peruvian Amazon. Travel by boat and canoe with bungalow lodgings provided on the river’s edge and in the jungle. Wooden walkways take you into the heart of the rain forest to see huge centuries-old trees, caiman, turtles and many beautiful exotic birds.

• Lake Titicaca – Located on the Peru-Bolivia border, Lake Titicaca is the South American continent’s largest lake. Its shores are home to many indigenous people whose cultures you can explore against the backdrop of the lake’s azure waters. The islands of Lake Titicaca have many archaeological ruins and several villages that are still steeped in the Inca culture.

• Machu Picchu – Called “the Lost City of the Incas” Machu Picchu is a wonderfully preserved symbol of the great Inca civilization. On Machu Picchu tours you can explore the ruins’ palaces, baths, temples and storage rooms. For many, the tour of the Temple of the Sun, which is built atop a pure granite rock and marks the highest altitude within the Lost City, is truly the high point of their visit.

A popular starting point for many Peru tours Cusco is just 80 km from Machu Picchu. Cusco to Machu Picchu trips get you there in comfort and style. You spend the day exploring the ruins and learning about them from your friendly and knowledgeable local Peru travel guide.
