Peru

While Peru inevitably evokes images of Machu Picchu and the Inca empire, the country is also riddled with archaeological sites which are a legacy of even more ancient times, when great civilizations bequeathed a legacy of their art, customs and rituals, their wisdom and skills. It's also a country of outstanding natural beauty and rich biodiversity - where blood red deserts, verdant terraces and the snow capped Andes are home to vicunya, llama, giant condor and Andean Fox.

Our walking here takes you on an amazing journey of discovery, through the incredibly vivid landscapes that form the backdrop for Peru’s dramatic history of Inca rule and Spanish conquest. You'll visit bustling markets overflowing with banana, papaya, passion fruit and pineapple and see locals in traditional, brightly coloured dress - look out for the intricately woven scarlet and gold tweeds which vary in pattern and style from one region to the next.
