As far as we’re concerned, the grass is always greener in Peru. With its lush landscape of verdant rainforests, rugged mountains and desert beaches (not to mention the awe-inspiring ancient and indigenous cultures that permeate the land), it’s no wonder Peru is South America’s prime destination for those after a little more than just a package holiday. With today’s deal, you can leave the concrete jungle behind for the real thing on a six-night journey to Machu Picchu along the Inca Trail, including transfers, sightseeing tours and selected meals. You’ll be accompanied by an English-speaking tour guide throughout your trip, during which you’ll be comfortably accommodated in 3* hotels and lodges.
If you don’t want your adventure to end, you can choose to extend the fun with a three day Amazon Jungle adventure which will take you in to the heart of the jungle to spot monkeys and other exotic wildlife, as well as take a canopy walk, enjoy star-gazing and even take a boat ride!
