From the marine wonders of Pacific Ocean through ancient desert cultures of the Nazca and up on the spectacular Mountain heights of the Andes, Peru is a nation of awesome landscapes and diverse living cultures. In our 16 day Peru Classic Program Itinerary we investigate the offer 2 ½ weeks of action packed adventures, from flying low over huge and mysterious forms of the Nazca Lines, carved into the vast and empty desert to watching thousands of playful sealions and even dolphins surrounding the rich seas of the Ballestas Islands.
In Cusco, Ancient Capital of the magnificent Inca Empire we discover Peru’s living culture and magnificent ancient monuments. We visit the inspiring and beautiful ‘Lost City of the Incas’, Machu Picchu, located in an awesome location on an Andean Ridgetop, surrounded on 3 sides by steep forested canyons and often enveloped by the clouds themselves. Often enveloped by mists rising from the Amazon Basin, Machu Picchu is truely a ‘city in the clouds’. The reasons why it was abandoned are still a mystery, but our guided tours throughout the journey provide an intimate understanding of Peru’s living and ancient cultures, landscapes and wildlife.
We visit the world’s highest navigable lake, Titicaca, visiting the floating ‘islands’ of the ingenious Uros people and traditional communities on Amantani and Taquile, witnessing lifestyles that have changed little since before the arrival of the conquistadors. From lakes suspended nearly 4km above sealevel we visit the plunging Canyon of Colca, one the deepest on Earth. Here we witnesses the world’s largest flying bird, the Andean Condor soaring above the depths on 3m wings, a moment not easily forgotten. Machete Tours Peru Classic Program offers action packed and fascinating insight into one of Latin America’s most engaging countries.
