This 20 day round trip is a perfect journey for the active traveller who wants to see the highlights of Peru, but in a different and more active way. It’s a good mix of cultural events such as city tours, and some fun experiences, like sandboarding in Huacachina, biking in Paracas and kayaking at the Titicaca Lake. This tour also has two treks: one in Colca Canyon and finally the Classic Inca Trek.
The Huayhuash circuit is among the best treks in the world and it is a well-deserved title. Located in the Peruvian Andes, close the Cordillera Blanca, the Huayhuash range has some of the most dramatic peaks in the Andes like: Siula Grande (Dramatised in the film “Touching the Void”), Carnicero, Jirishanca and Yurupaja (second highest mountain in Peru) just to name a few. The semi-circular itinerary goes over several mountain passes, one of them above 5000 meters and most above 4500 meters. This is a high altitude trek, quite remote, physically demanding and long distances to be covered, but worth every step of the way. On top of all that, even though it is a famous trek, it sees less visitors than similar popular treks around the world. An experience not to be missed!!
La Perla – Spanish for the Pearl – is one of the latest comfort cruise options for guests heading to the Peruvian Amazon, and despite its name, is a great, affordable, cost-effective option. Leave the modern world behind you and begin a journey of discovery into one of the world’s most remote regions. Built to be as comfortable as possible, while still offering a perfect interaction with nature, the Perla’s shallow draught allows visits to locations inaccessible to many other boats. The outboard powered skiffs that she carries are used for trips in lagoons, narrow channels, creeks and flooded forest. The Perla vessel was once a missionary medical boat, now swapping the religious path for that of tourism, and offers quirky accommodation with great service for an Amazon River vessel in the comfort class.
Every voyage aboard Zafiro offers a unique experience, a customized journey into the incredibly diverse Amazon rainforest – home to more than a thousand animal species and an equal number of plants, with new species being discovered all the time. Life never takes a break in Pacaya Samiria. It is so fertile and diverse, that even today, they still discover unique and unknown species. To immerse in its immensity, is to discover much more than what you can see in a lifetime. Pacaya Samiria Reserve is an authentic nest of life. It is a land that hosts dozens of species of reptiles and amphibians, hundreds of species of birds, mammals and fish and thousands of wild and cultivated plant species.
