Andes Holidays

What you can find in the Andes that you won't find elsewhere:

Overflowing with natural jewels, the Peruvian Andes are home to countless unique places, cultures and animals. One such jewel is the Huascaran National Park. Home to more than 600 glittering glaciers and nearly 300 lakes and mountains frosted with snow - as well as protecting endangered species like the spectacled bear and the Andean condor - this is a truly special place. Perfect for hiking, it is a must for any adventurer. As well as boasting a wealth of wonderful wildernesses, the Peruvian Andes are crammed with culture. The birthplace of the magnificent Incas who conquered for 5000-years of South American history, there are monuments galore that forever remind the world of their presence. Head to the glorious citadel of Machu Picchu, cruise through Cusco - the seat of this ancient civilisation's power - and admire the beauty of Lake Titicaca’s enthralling blue waters, matched only by the captivating and enduring highland culture that surround its shores. Steeped in history and tradition, you will leave this place a little closer to the past.

Who are the Andes best for?

The Andes holidays are for those in search of breath-stealing scenery, captivating cultures, wonderful wildlife and lost civilizations. Step right up, the Peruvian Andes has it all. Intrepid explorers, wildlife lovers and history buffs, this is the place for you. Explore Cusco and the Sacred Valley, hike to Machu Picchu, uncover hidden places in Huascaran National Park and step back in time in Lake Titicaca.

The best ways to discover the Peruvian Andes:

For an original (which is, after all, what we are all about) way to explore Cusco and the Sacred Valley, how about mountain biking, horse trekking and quad biking? For a truly memorable experience, take to the waters of Lake Titicaca in a canoe and set out in search of a village to stay in for a night.

Special things to do in the Peruvian Andes:

Take your time in Cusco, the ancient capital of the Incan empire. Wander through the streets and stay in a hotel that combines the area’s Incan heritage with a charming colonial style. This is a great base for exploring the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Take the family on a trip of a lifetime. The little ones will love a visit to a llama farm to meet these curious, fluffy creatures in person. Spend a day with a Quechua family and watch your children interact and play others, while learning about the community and history.
