Details

This trip is the perfect introduction to one of the most diverse countries in South America. Our journey contrasts the incomparable scenery of the Andes with the lush vegetation of the Amazon Rainforest and the barren coastal desert, as we discover ancient cities, buildings and fortresses of colossal size in settings of amazing beauty. For walking enthusiasts, there is the option to trek the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu (at no extra cost), and for wildlife lovers, the Ballestas Islands and the rainforest are sure to impress.Join us to celebrate Exodus’ 50th anniversary! The departure starting in Lima on 30 June 2024 features extra inclusions to mark the occasion: a Nazca Lines overflight, a local birthday celebration and a special edition Exodus kitbag.

Highlights

  • Discover the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu and the colonial cities of Cuzco and Arequipa
  • Have the option to walk the classic Inca Trail at no extra cost
  • Spend two nights deep in the Amazon
  • Visit the traditional island communities of Lake Titicaca
  • See beautiful Arequipa plus Colca Canyon and its condors

Included in Price

  • All breakfasts, six lunches and four dinners are included. For those doing the Inca Trail trek option, all meals, some snacks, and drinks/water are included during the trek. Drinking water is included throughout as the tap water in Peru is not safe to drink; boiled and filtered drinking water is provided on the trek and elsewhere your leader buys large water containers from which you can refill your bottle. Hotel breakfasts are normally simple buffets, usually including bread/toast and jam, cereal, sometimes eggs or cooked dishes, sometimes fruit, tea/coffee and fruit juice. Regrettably, we cannot guarantee that wheat-/gluten-free products are available for breakfast in all locations – if you have an intolerance you may wish to bring your own breakfast food. We also try a traditional pachamanca, a meal cooked on hot coals in the ground. Where lunch and dinner are not included, we visit a variety of cafes and restaurants. For some of the days with long drives, we may take some packed lunches to eat at a scenic spot along the way. Peruvian cuisine is loved for its flavours and originality; it’s well worth digging into the local delicacies. Among these are ceviche (seafood or fish marinated in lime juice), lomo saltado (a Peruvian take on a beef stir-fry), and various hearty soups including the delicious quinoa soup. Other dishes include roasted cuy (guinea pig) and alpaca steak. To drink, there’s pisco sour, the national beverage.
  • All breakfasts, six lunches and three dinners included. Additional meals on Inca Trail option

  • Arrival and departure transfers
