If you are a longtime follower of 2me Travel, you may have read some of our articles about Peru or followed our many tours and travel in the region. We are willing to say we are Peru experts and are passionate about the country.

This year’s tour will be begin in late November. This will be a small group as the itinerary will be unique and rather complicated (don’t worry, we take care of all the details)!

Morning site seeing of Lima with a local guide (and personal friend) before returning to the airport and flying to the magnificent ‘White City’ – Arequipa for two nights

*Arequipa is surrounded by volcanoes and is located at 2335 meters (7550 feet) – these two nights help with our altitude acclimatization

We will cross over 5000 meters (17000 feet), of spectacular scenery and descend into one of the largest canyons in the world. Tonight we sleep early at 3600 meters (11800 feet)

Wake up very early to look for condors! These massive birds are iconic and can be seen flying from the cliffs of the canyon.

Later we drive back over the high pass and drive east to Puno and enigmatic Lake Titicaca (known as the highest navigable lake in the world). We will stay centrally in Puno – the folklore capital of Peru –  for two nights.

Visit the Uros floating Islands on Lake Titicaca. Free afternoon in Puno (we recommend trying trout ceviche).

Full Day Machu Picchu (or Rainbow Mountain for those who have been before)

For first time visitors to Peru – or South America in general – Machu Picchu is the number 1 attraction. The ‘lost city’ is breathtaking and well managed (due to so many visitors). This is one of the world’s most famous sites. You will be led by a local, licensed guide.

*For repeat visitors, we are happy to take you to the Rainbow Mountain for a nice, high altitude walk!
