Peru holidays

Peru holds a special place in a traveller's wish list and imagination. It is a kaleidoscope of natural wonders, ancient civilisations, legends and folklore, echoing with music and exploding with colour. Festivals honour its ancient customs at the Inca festival of Inti Raymi in June, while its Spanish Catholic heritage is remembered in another period of feasting and prayer on All Souls' Day in November.

A holiday in Peru with Abercrombie & Kent is the way to see this wonderful, diverse country in style.

Geographically, Peru can be divided into three distinctive regions - the long, low coastal strip home to the main cities of Lima and Trujillo - the starting point for many Peru holidays; the remote vastness of the Amazon basin in the east and the magnificent heights of the Andes in the centre. Any Peru holiday should include a trip to Cusco, not just for its amazing mix of Inca and Spanish culture, but also for its standing as the gateway to Machu Picchu. Here visitors can choose from a rigorous and invigorating four-day trek, a less active one-day trek or an incredible train journey all rewarded by ending at the famous Inca citadel - the highlight of a unforgettable holiday in Peru.

Apart from its ancient civilisations, Peru holidays offer a kaleidoscope of natural wonders including the vast mountains of the Huascaran National Park and magical Lake Titicaca - the highest navigable lake in the world and home to the unique floating reed islands of Uros. The extraordinary Amazon rainforest, with its abundant flora and fauna, is a dramatic contrast to the volcanoes and canyons of the Colca Valley.

Peru holidays offer a fascinating view of this land of history, life, colour and contrast.
