Peru tours & holidays

Travel guide

As the world leader in travel experiences since 1947, we connect you to the real Peru in a way like no other. Peru is a land of pulsing history, where lost civilisations live on in the spirit of the Peruvian people. Ancient treasures and mystical legends are brought to life in one of the most spectacular natural landscapes in the world. Cruise the gleaming waters of Lake Titicaca, the birthplace of the sun, then ascend to the clouds and trace the path of the Incas. The Inca citadel of Machu Picchu is one of the most visited sites on the whole continent, yet it’s just one of the many wonders of Peru. When you take a Peru holiday with Trafalgar, you’ll meet the people that make the country so captivating. Meet a master Quechua weaver and an Andean storyteller, or learn how to cook the sumptuous Peruvian cuisine in Lima. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of Peru’s intricate history in the superb museums, yet you only have to wander the stirring streets of Cusco to get caught up in a festival of ancient rituals. Travel with us and unlock the infinite possibilities thanks to our exclusive Trafalgar Highlights.
