Andes Holidays

South America’s mountainous spine, the Andes is one of the longest mountain ranges in the world. Hiding glaciers, volcanoes, grasslands, desert, lakes and forests, these mountains crown seven countries in America's south. Peru plays host to a section of these magnificent mountains and is home to the desolate Andean Plateau which is the widest part of the Andes.

During your Andes holidays, travel from cosmopolitan Cuzco, which vibrates with energy as the undisputed archaeological capital of the Americas, through to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu for a real taste of this captivating country.
