What’s it all about?

There is nothing we love more than planning a holiday – our own, or someone else’s! Although international holidays are off the table for the foreseeable future, that’s no reason not to dream! Join Heather on this virtual journey through the highlights and hidden gems of Peru from the comfort of your couch!

Learn about Peru’s fascinating cultural and geographic diversity on this virtual tour through the country’s highlights and hidden gems. There will be heaps of stunning images for you to feast your eyes upon and plenty of inspiration for your next South American holiday!

What will we cover?

We will:

  • Explore Cuzco, the Sacred Valley of the Incas and magical Machu Picchu – plus top tips for combating altitude sickness!
  • Find out whether the Inca Trail is the right trek for you…and learn about some of Peru’s other iconic hikes
  • Reveal some of the secrets of the Amazon – where are the best spots for wildlife, should you choose a lodge or a cruise….and are there really that many insects?
  • Off-the-beaten track destinations (because there’s much more to Peru than Machu Picchu!)
