Peru cultural holidays are a carefully curated blend of native traditions, Hispanic influences and more modern trends, reflecting the rich tapestry that makes up this eclectic country’s past. Machu Picchu tends to hog the limelight when it comes to cultural holidays and for good reason; the ancient Incan citadel is a stunning centrepiece, topping many travellers’ bucket-lists. Lima, Peru’s capital, is equally worthy of cultural exploration, with its creative culinary scene, colonial centre and boho Barranco district which is teeming with trendy galleries. And this list barely scratches the surface when it comes to the country’s cultural heritage. Home to the historic capital of the Incan Empire (Cusco), the striking Sacred Valley and elusive Nazca lines, there’s a wealth of experiences to discover in Peru.

"It was a fantastic trip in every way. A once in a lifetime experience. Oliver's help in organising was priceless. Now I'll be forever spoiled by having someone check me in, take care of boarding passes, luggage etc!"

"Patrick made the booking process easy and took our input into consideration very well throughout the process, while keeping us on budget. The trip was incredible. We had the best time. Perfect balance of fun food activities, culture, nature, while also not being too fast paced for us."

"We were charmed by Peru, the people were friendly, food was exceptional, and of course Machu Picchu... that arrival at the sun gate and subsequent reveal, is never to be forgotten. Cusco also far exceeded expectation, it was the perfect blend of historical and accessibility to day-to-day modern life."
