“I will never address another human without remembering the grace of the Andean people; I will never sleep again without drifting to some lofty terrace in the Andes, majesty and beauty unmatched.” So wrote one of our travelers to Peru not long ago. We feel much the same, and we’re intent on sharing this captivating country in the best possible style.

There’s so much to see and do in Peru that it’s hard to know where to start; that’s where we come in. We’ll help you sort through the possibilities: seeing the Amazon by boat or land, visiting a serene eco-lodge on Lake Titicaca, flying over the confounding Nazca Lines, trekking in the Huayhuash and the Vilcanota, some of the world’s most startling mountains. We also know the best approaches to the classics—Cusco, the Urubamba Valley, Machu Picchu—and have an unmatched lineup of top-notch guides; we visit their homes, swapping experiences and worldviews as with old friends.  And for those of you with youngsters in tow, we have dozens of tricks to make them come home raving about the history lesson you snuck into their vacation.
