Essential Peru – Inti Raymi Festival

Discover the highlights of southern Peru, from Nazca to Arequipa

A spectacular journey through Peru’s varied landscape encompassing coastal desert, snow-capped Andean peaks, the high altiplano and lush cloud forest. The most famous sites are all visited including the mysterious Nazca Lines, awe-inspiring Machu Picchu in its incredible mountaintop setting, Lake Titicaca, where the night is spent in an island homestay, and the remarkable 3000m deep Colca Canyon. On the way we encounter traditional culture, condors, llamas, and a warm welcome from the Peruvian people.

The 18 June departures in 2019 and 2020 coincide with Inti Raymi Festival in Cuzco. Translated as ‘Festival of the Sun’ it is the most important of all Andean festivals; during this time Cuzco is filled with colourful processions and festivities.
