Discovering Peru's Rich Cultural Legacy
Your journey begins in Lima, where you’ll uncover stories etched into the city’s historic streets and marvel at iconic landmarks like the Magic Water Circuit Lima. As you explore Lima’s Plaza de Armas, you’ll sense how colonial history still echoes in the vibrant life of modern Peru. A visit to Lugar de la Memoria brings Peru’s recent struggles to life, setting the tone for a deeper understanding of resilience and hope.
Arequipa offers another chapter—a city framed by volcanoes, where stunning white stone buildings and quiet monasteries tell tales of religious syncretism and Andean strength.
Living History and Ecology in the Andes
From Arequipa, you’ll venture into the awe-inspiring Colca Valley and the dizzying heights of the Cruz del Condor. You’ll travel across the Altiplano, connecting with Aymara traditions on the floating Uros Islands, and continue to Cusco, the historic capital of the Incan Empire. Here, the “Sounds of the Andes” experience invites you to create your own clay instruments and explore the spiritual and artistic heartbeat of Peru’s culture.
You’ll stand before the majestic ruins of Machu Picchu and hike the colorful heights of Rainbow Mountain Peru, where nature’s palette will leave you breathless.
Into the Heart of the Amazon
The final leg of your expedition leads you deep into the Amazon rainforest. In Puerto Maldonado, adventure awaits among canopy walkways and river islands. Experience the nocturnal life of the jungle, listen to the rainforest symphony, and walk trails that few have tread.
