Peru Adventure
and Trekking - Peru Encompassed
15 Days Lima to Lima
19
Days Lima to Lima
The ideal trip for those with a sense of adventure and enthusiasm for the
ancient cultures of the Andes.
Staying at small hotels/guesthouses and using a variety of local transport, from
coaches, trains, planes, hiking and even reed canoes, this trip will give you a
unique opportunity to experience the authentic Latin American lifestyle.
Day 1 (breakfast
included) The capital of Peru, Lima is a city of contrasts. Here you'll
encounter both abundant wealth and grinding poverty, modern skyscrapers next to
some of the finest museums and historical monuments in Latin America. You will
have a free day to explore its many museums, markets and colonial plazas.
Day 2 (breakfast) Our first stop, south of Lima, on the Peru overland
travel adventure is at the Ballestas Islands in the Paracas National Reserve.
Here we take a boat trip to view one of the most important marine reserves in
the world with the highest concentration of rare and exotic sea birds and sea
mammals.
Day 3 & 4 (breakfast x 2, dinner x 1) An hours drive inland in the heart
of the Ica Desert is Peru's main wine centre. Here we visit the Tacama
winery, originally a Jesuit run Bodega it now produces export quality wines
as well as Peru's national drink, Pisco. After our own tasting session we
continue a few kilometres to the nearby Oasis of Huacachina. A palm
fringed lake surrounded by impressive sand dunes, you can relax on the beach, go
for a swim and then if its an adrenaline rush you're after head out with your
Tour Leader on a custom made dune buggy and roar across the desert sands
to the top of enormous dunes and then sand board down them - imagine
snowboarding but on sand instead! Tonight, after an unforgettable desert
sunset, we sit around the campfire while our guides cook up a storm, followed by
a night sleeping out under the stars.
Day 5 (breakfast) Travel to Peru is not complete without a trip to one of
the world's greatest archaeological mysteries - the Nazca Lines. Only
discovered 70 years ago from the air, these huge figures carved into the desert
floor are best viewed by light aircraft. Thought to have been made by three
different civilisations going back more than 2000 years, there are many
contrasting theories about what they signify and why they are there, it is
worthwhile asking local opinion - you may well be surprised with the replies,
this will undoubtedly be one of the best experiences on your Peru travel
adventure! Also memorable is a visit to Chauchilla Cemetery with its
well-preserved mummies. Leaving the Atacama Desert we begin to climb into the
Andes mountain range towards Arequipa.
Days 6 to 8 (breakfast x 3) Four days are dedicated to exploring this
beautiful colonial city and the spectacular surrounding area. Continuing as
always with our theme of adventure travel, Peru offers many options to go white
water rafting, cycling, trekking, horse riding as well as a visit to the
Colca Canyon, which at 900m is not only one of the deepest in the world but
also the home of the majestic Condors. Here you can view the condors
circling lazily in the thermals rising from the canyon floor.
Days 9 & 10 (breakfast x 2, dinner x 1) A short flight over the dramatic
Andes Mountains takes us to Cuzco, the outdoors capital of Peru and our
base for the next 7 days. A mecca for adventure travel, Peru's famous Inca Trail
begins near this city. Although Cuzco is today a colonial city most of its
churches and museums are built on top of original Inca stonewalls which are
clearly visible. We include a day tour of the beautiful Urubamba or Sacred
Valley of the Incas where you'll find temples, terraces, local communities
and markets and finally our comforatble campsite at km82, the start of the
Inca Trail!
Days 11 to 14 (breakfast x 4, lunch & dinner x 3) In the Urubamba Valley
we begin our 4 day hike along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. This
moderate to strenuous hike is a once in a lifetime experience and anyone with a
good level of fitness can master it. A stunning combination of awesome views,
Inca ruins, magnificent mountains and exotic adventure. There are also the
options to undertake either a shorter hike travelling by train part of the way
to the ruins, or to take one of three alternative treks, the Salkantay, Lares
or Vilcabamba. Our route back to Cuzco for all options is by train.
Day 15 (breakfast) A free day in Cuzco to relax and recover as
well as explore more of the city and its museums and churches or look for local
crafts from Alpaca woollen jumpers to musical instruments.
Those on the 15 days' adventure trip of Peru will board the plane to Lima where
the trip ends on arrival. Should you like to stay in Lima an extra night please
let us know and we can arrange accommodation for you.
Days 16 to 18 Fly from Cuzco to Puerto Maldonado and transfer to
Tambopata - Candamo Reserve for 3 nights to explore & experience this wild
habitat. Accommodation here will be in a jungle lodge. You will explore
by canoe & on foot with local guides, the rich and diverse flora & fauna of this
unique rainforest.
Day 19 Return from Puerto Maldonado
to Lima by plane, where the trip finishes on arrival in Lima. Should you wish to
spend some extra time in Lima we can arrange accommodation for you.
