Reach beyond the surface in this nine-day journey, delving into Peru’s rich history and customs. Whether you are discovering the ancient temples of Pachamac, or the unexplained patterns carved into the land by the Incans at Moray, Peru is a country full of mystery waiting to be uncovered. In Lima and Cusco you’ll witness the resplendent cathedrals and basilicas built with the arrival of the Spanish, as two great empires collided. You’ll also encounter the vitality of contemporary Peru, its bustling markets, vibrant neighbourhoods, and innovative artists that draw from the country’s diverse traditions.
