Peru is the largest of South America’s Andean nations. It is a beautiful country with tremendous diversity of climate and terrain. In the northeastern part of the country are the rainforests of the Amazon Basin and the Andes, the second highest mountain range in the world, forms the country’s backbone.

Cusco, one of Peru’s most popular destinations, is only a little more than an hour's flight from Lima. Nestled in a beautiful mountain valley, Cusco was the former capital of the majestic Inca Empire. It is a picturesque place with all buildings required by law to have a red tiled roof. Cusco is considered a living monument. Many of the city’s buildings were built by the Spanish using Inca masonry as their foundations. The main cathedral hosts one of the finest Spanish colonial art collections in the Southern Hemisphere. Outside of Cusco lies the Sacred Valley of the Incas with its breathtaking views of snow capped peaks rising 18-20,000 ft. Throughout the valley are many small towns and villages where you will have the opportunity to experience the colourful culture, and buy quality local products.
