Peru

Peru offers even the most inquisitive of travellers an abundance of natural wonders and ancient cultures to explore.
Many start their journey in the modern, yet historically well-preserved capital city of Lima; then travel onward to the fascinating cities of Arequipa and Cusco, stopping off at the perplexing Nazca Lines and the highest navigable lake in the world - lake Titicaca. Whilst based in Cusco the jewels of Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley are in easy reach and are set within the most impressive mountain vistas in all of South America.

Why not explore a little further into the nature rich Amazon rainforest or spy condors soaring in the Colca Canyon. Northern Peru offers the opportunity to visit many ancient ruins and citadels, some still being excavated, whilst a relaxing cruise on board a luxurious yacht around the bio diverse Galapagos Islands is the perfect end to an experience packed holiday.

Climate:
Peru's climate is strongly influenced by its physical attributes. The desert coast is very hot between the summer months of December and March and becomes cooler, often with a hazy mist between April and November. The Andes has more noticeable seasons with heavy rains from December to March and warmer, drier conditions from June to September. The Amazon is similar, but with heavier more frequent rain and hot, humid conditions year round, both at their best between May and September.
