Peru cultural holidays are a carefully curated blend of native traditions, Hispanic influences and more modern trends, reflecting the rich tapestry that makes up this eclectic country’s past. Machu Picchu tends to hog the limelight when it comes to cultural holidays and for good reason; the ancient Incan citadel is a stunning centrepiece, topping many travellers’ bucket-lists. Lima, Peru’s capital, is equally worthy of cultural exploration, with its creative culinary scene, colonial centre and boho Barranco district which is teeming with trendy galleries. And this list barely scratches the surface

when it comes to the country’s cultural heritage. Home to the historic capital of the Incan Empire (Cusco), the striking Sacred Valley and elusive Nazca lines, there’s a wealth of experiences to discover in Peru.

Peru customer reviews (5 reviews)

4.4/5

Our trip to Ecuador was due to start on Monday October 21 but was cancelled the afternoon before because of civil unrest in Quito. Kate transformed this disaster into a triumph. Working incredibly hard on Monday and Tuesday and from a standing start she has organised a terrific holiday for us in Peru and Ecuador. It is better than the holiday we had booked to go on and Kate dealt with all our questions on Monday and Tuesday while also booking the flights, hotels, transfers etc. It is Wednesday and we have already set off, all thanks to Kate. She has shown professionalism and charm throughout. We are so grateful to her.
