Things to do in Peru

Spend the night surrounded by the waters of the mighty Lake Titicaca, on an island where the local, native traditions still reign supreme and life is a pace or two slower.

Browse the colourful produce at a market, taking a selection of fresh ingredients to the house of a welcoming local family where you will use them as part of a cooking class, preparing a delicious regional dish.

Visit the indigenous Uros people, a community who live on floating islands made of reeds on the waters of Lake Titicaca, and spend some time learning about their fascinating culture.

Learn all about the subtle flavours of 'Pisco', Peru's national beverage and tipple of choice, at a tasting in Lima.

Journey into the heartland of the Incas, to Puno, on the shores of Lake Titicaca, by train. Crossing the scenic Peruvian highlands, you’ll pass rolling hills, serene lakes and traditional villages, the views made even more appealing by a gourmet lunch and cultural entertainment.

Visit the ruins of Sacsayhuaman, meaning the ‘place where the hawk is satiated’ in the Quechua language, and experience a traditional Quechua ritual led by a Shaman, providing a spiritual connection to the rich Andean traditions and Inca heritage

Set in a serene stretch of cloud forest in the Sacred Valley, the Santuario de Colibries shelters a variety of brightly coloured hummingbird species that flit between the flowers of beautiful gardens. The perfect place to pause and enjoy the sound of bird song.

Stop at the wonderful Manos de la Comunidad to discover more about the rich indigenous culture of Peru. A showcase for local artisans who craft textiles, pottery and jewellery, you can see traditional skills in action and pick up a souvenir or two.
