Discover
Peru

Historians, adventure tourists and gap-year students alike make the busy pilgrimage to iconic Cuzco and Machu Picchu, cementing the notion that Pre-Columbian Peru is wholly defined by the Incas.

Yet there is so much more to this incredible land’s heritage: one of earth’s greatest ‘cradles of civilisations’ awaits at the extraordinary desiccated ruins of Caral-Supe and substantial and often jaw-dropping evidence of the sophistication of ancient societies lie liberally scattered around the arid coastal regions; meanwhile the mighty cordilleras and altiplano that hang in the shadow of the Andes offer a fascinating blend of archaeological gems , ecological abundance and incredibly welcoming contemporary settlements in this megadiverse and culturally complex nation.

Feedback from our Travellers

Undiscovered Destinations does tours that reflect its name. I have travelled with them many times, precisely because their tours are very well conceived to show guests remarkable places that are little known. I travelled as a solo traveller with a driver and guide. The trip visited a number of ancient and very impressive pre-Incan archaeological sites and the museums housing the remarkable artefacts found there. We also visited some of the old cities of northern Peru, such as Cajamarca. One of the high points came near the end, when we spent a day in the peerless mountain scenery of the Cordillera Blanca. It was a very varied and exciting trip.

Traveller from USA
Excellent. A very enjoyable journey through Peru's Pre-Incan history totalling over 6,000 years whilst enjoying some of the world's grandest scenery. The artisan beers and local food were also exceptional.

Traveller from UK
Both Carlos in Lima and Jorge in Cusco were very courteous and helpful in ensuring that all aspects of my trip to Peru went smoothly. This was my fifth trip booked through Undiscovered Destinations and each trip has been very well researched and planned. I have already been recommending the company to fellow travellers. Our guide in Peru, Luis, was an excellent informant and companion. How lucky we were to have a fully qualified archaeologist with us to explain the complexities of pre-colonial Peru. His enthusiasm for his subject was infectious. Our driver, Orlando, carried out his duties with a permanent smile even after long 10 hour days of driving over difficult terrain. This trip was quite arduous covering hundreds of miles to out of the way places, but Luis and Orlando went out of their way to ensure that we all enjoyed the experiences. I felt that yet again this trip had been very well researched and planned to ensure the best experience for travellers. The add on trip to Machu Picchu was very well organised and a definite highlight for me.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Peru is during the dry season, between May and October,
which sees sunny days, bright blue skies in the Andes, and chilly nights.
