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.

During my trip to Bolivia, I visited the province of Sur Lipez with an organised tour from <a data-mce-href="http://www.petitsboutsdailleurs.com/2013/10/uyuni.html" href="http://www.petitsboutsdailleurs.com/2013/10/uyuni.html" target="_blank" title="Little bits of the world - Uyuni">Uyuni</a>. I toured the region for 4 days in a 4x4. The first two days were dedicated to Salar and climbing Tunupa Volcano. The last two days were spent visiting the province of Sur Lipez. The landscapes are radically different from those of Salar. I crossed several sandy deserts and stopped several times at the foot of volcanoes, such as Ollague and at numerous lagoons, such as the Red Lagoon and Laguna Verde. Dali Desert with the Arbol del Piedra (the Stone Tree) is fairly spectacular. You wonder how it's still there. The guide, Carlos, was really funny and nice. I was even able to bathe a little in a thermal bath, something which wasn't planned on the itinerary.
