On these pages you will find ideas for a trip to Peru to help you prepare for your trip. All these ideas are there just to get your imagination going; you can alter, mix and match them as you please. Your local agent will help you create a unique and unforgettable trip, just for you! Peru has three distinct parts, each with its own character: the Pacific coast, which is the most densely populated; the Andes range, with the highest mountain being the towering Huascarán at 6,768 metres; and the Amazon, which covers the largest part of the country. If you’re going, start with the must-see: Machu Picchu – fortunately not found by the Conquistadors – rediscovered in 1911. You should visit it at dawn to see the ruins shrouded in mist. This extraordinary site still clasps a few secrets to its bosom. Not far away, the Andes range draw ramblers and trekkers to magnificent landscapes. The ultimate rambling experience is the Inca Trail through exceptional archaeological sites. During your stay in Peru, you must stop in Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire. The Spanish erected their buildings, especially religious ones, over Inca constructions which they systematically destroyed, only sparing their characteristic foundations, which are still visible today with their large, perfectly cut and fitted stones. A voyage out of time awaits you in Cusco.

According to my guide, Sorata is one of the most beautiful Bolivian Andes villages and deserves for us to make a stop at it, especially if we feel like going on a few hikes. So I decide to stop there for 2 days before heading for Lake Titicaca. Well, I am a bit disappointed to say the least! On arrival, I go to find out about the possibility of hiking and it seems quite complicated. The only way to go is accompanied by a guide and most of the hikes proposed require a minimum of 3-4 days, which is not my idea at all. In the end we manage to reach a compromise with a guide for a 4-5 hour outing the following morning. This leaves me the afternoon to do the tour of the village, unhurriedly. There is not much to do there, but this is precisely what does some good. I take this opportunity to rest in the little park on the main square, which leaves me to perceive the bustle of the village at leisure. The next day, I get up early for my famous hike and... it is raining cats and dogs! Result, outing cancelled, all that for this... It does not matter, Copacabana and Lake Titicaca await me, so I decide to clear off sooner than planned!
