Peru Holidays 2022/23
Peru is often synonymous with the misty peaks and crumbling ruins of Machu Pichu. Whilst the panoramic view of the mountains and the ancient city are a sight to behold, and never forgotten, it is the journey that is a feat, taking as long as four days to complete. With an altitude of 4,000 meters, many people can suffer from altitude sickness but that incredible journey only makes the view and the accomplishment that much sweeter. However, there is so much more to Peru than simply Machu Pichu, there are many other simpler trails that you can take an amazing sight to discover. Deep valleys protect beautiful lakes and lagoons of the purest blue, villages and traditions that have been frozen in time, adorned with the quintessential native Peruvian clothing.
