Top Experiences in Peru:

Machu Picchu




Without a doubt Peru’s most recognizable wonder, Machu Picchu is not only a top experience in Peru but among the top experiences around the world. The first glimpse of the ancient citadel of the Inca’s is truly a site to behold, whether it be well-deserved after days of hiking the Inca Trail or by taking the scenic train journey to the nearby town of Aguas Calientes. Gain insight with your guide, explore at your leisure, and then hike up the nearby Huayna Picchu Mountain for iconic views as you peer down at the lost city.



Hiking the Inca Trail




The Camino del Inca is the legendary hike to Machu Picchu culminating as you arrive at the Lost City of the Inca’s at sunset, an impressive reward. The 4-day trek can be tough, but as you traverse Andean mountain passes, stumble around Inca ruins and through dense forest, the site of Machu Picchu feels just a little more special.



Sacred Valley




Located near Cuzco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire, El Valle Sagrado is home to rural villages, colonial towns, Inca ruins, including the citadels of Ollantaytambo and Pisac, colourful markets and numerous archaeological wonders. Beautiful scenery and the attractions mentioned above make this a definite must-see for anyone heading to Peru.



Lake Titicaca




The largest lake in South America, and highest navigable body of water in the world, Lake Titicaca’s superlatives attract attention but it’s the subtleties that leave the greatest impression. An ancient culture still very much in practice, floating islands, island communities that warmly welcome and shed light on their traditional lifestyle, the ubiquitous reed boat rides, homestay options, chilly evenings, and a serene atmosphere punctuated by inspired curiosity. Important to Andean mythology, the lake, according to legend, is the birthplace to the children of the Sun God and the founders of the Inca Empire. Located in the mountainous south of Peru, most commonly accessed from the city of Puno, Lake Titicaca and the surrounding region are a rich and immersive experience that you would do well in adding to your Peru agenda.



Cuzco




The capital of the Inca Empire, Cuzco is South America’s oldest continuously inhabited city, and is an archaeological gem. The clichéd ‘city of contrasts’ comes into play with Cuzco, as you stroll narrow cobblestone streets, marvel at Inca Temples and elaborate cathedrals, and admire the traditional dress, all-the-while the bustle of modernity gains steam. As the gateway to the Sacred Valley, countryside villages, and the train to Machu Picchu, Cuzco and her rich heritage are a must for those on a discovery of Peru.



BEST TIME TO VISIT:

Climate

The weather in Peru varies both on the region and season in which you are traveling. Generally, May through October is the dry season and November through April is the rainy season, with most rain between January and April. The Inca Trail trek is not recommended during January and March due to rain and the trail is closed each year during February for conservation work. Being that Peru has three vastly different regions, the weather and climatic zones vary considerably. The coast is primarily arid and humid, the Andean region is temperate to cold, and the Amazon lowlands are tropical. Machu Picchu is best between April and October, and the Inca Trail is ideal from May to September when it’s generally sunny and dry.

Entry Regulations

Canadian & U.S. citizens traveling to Peru do not require an entry visa when joining one of our tours. Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the expected date of your departure from Peru.

Currency

The official currency is the Nuevo Sol (S/). US dollars are widely accepted.

Electricity

The current used in Peru is 220AC / 50HZ. This system may differ from the one you use at home. We suggest purchasing an adapter to take with you.

Language

The official language is Spanish. English is widely spoken in tourist facilities.

Health Regulations

Vaccination certificates are not required unless coming from an infected area. For all health requirements and recommendations, travellers should check with their health authority for the most up to date information.

Shopping

Shopping in Peru is a great experience with haggling, handicrafts, markets, and villages being the common theme. This being said, the Larcomar shopping center in Lima is a commercial center popular with locals and tourists. Peru is one of the top shopping destinations in Latin America. Top items to buy when in Peru include handicrafts, jewellery, alpaca-wool sweaters/scarves/hat, etc., textiles and ceramics. Lima and Cuzco have the greatest shopping choice, but markets throughout your journey offer various opportunities to find your Peruvian keepsakes. 

Cuisine

Peruvian cuisine has gained notable accolades around the world and is continuously gaining popularity as a world cuisine. Lima is a renowned culinary center in South America and genuinely a gastronome’s delight. Its varied culinary fusion inherited its innovation, mix and flavors from Peru’s history, geography, and long process of cultural exchange between the Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Africans, Italians, among others. From seafood, meats, stews and soups to pasta, potatoes and delectable desserts, Peruvian cuisine caters to a diverse collection of palates. Arguably the national dish, Ceviche, a spicy mix of marinated raw fish or seafood with lime, chilli peppers and onions, is the country’s most popular, but the potatoes and avocadoes in Causa, the Lomo Saltado stir-fry, and the skewers of marinated grilled meat ‘Anticuchos’ scratch the surface a little further.
