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.

Did you know that Chacaltaya was once the world's highest ski resort? Although it's now closed as a result of climate change, the former ski station continues to inspire a great many travellers, particularly amateur mountaineers. 
At a height of 5,394m, Mount Chacaltaya ("cold road" in the Aymara language) certainly lives up to its name. It must be said that the glacial winds which sweep the Cordillera Real are not the most welcoming! Situated 30 kilometres north of the Bolivian capital, it's best to visit Chacaltaya during spring or summer, when the weather is a little milder. 
When climbing it, I discovered a fantastic view of Nevado Illimani and Huayna Potosí. If you're lucky, and if the sun comes out, you might even catch a glimpse of Lake Titicaca.
