Our trips in Peru

How to choose your Peru circuit?

The choice depends above all on the time available and the regions you wish to combine. For a first trip, a 13 to 17-day format allows you to experience Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca, including the two essential acclimatization days at altitude. Beyond that, a 18+ day circuit opens the door to Arequipa and Colca Canyon, a three-night immersion in the Amazon or a northbound extension to Chachapoyas and Kuélap. Our team in Lima adjusts distances and transportation (domestic flights or road) according to your pace.

Different types of circuits

Cultural itineraries focus on Inca and pre-Inca archaeological sites, Andean markets in Pisac and Chinchero, and Peruvian gastronomy with its many influences. Adventure circuits prioritize treks to Machu Picchu (Salkantay, Inca Trail, Lares), the Cordillera Blanca around Huaraz or crossing Colca on foot. For family trips, we adapt to altitude, integrate fun activities (sandboarding in Huacachina, navigation with the Uros, Amazon lodge with wildlife observation) and favor longer stops to pace the children.

What is the best season?

The Andean dry season, April to October, remains the ideal window for Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Titicaca and Colca: clear skies, days between 18 and 22°C, cold nights at altitude. July and August see peak crowds; we recommend May, June, September and October for a better balance between visitor numbers and weather. On the coast, the austral summer from December to March offers sunshine and warmth (25-28°C), with a more welcoming sea at Paracas and Máncora. In the Amazon, the less rainy season runs from May to October, ideal for forest hikes and wildlife observation.
