Peru Tours in Winter

Just loved it. First class all the way. The only day it rained was our trip to Machu Picche and it was still magnificent. Am 78 with impaired eyesight and this was last item on the "Bucket List"...scored 10/10. Could not have wished for better trip. Guide was best ever, accommodations were superb, and thoughtful/educational itenerary was unbelievable. We travel a lot and this was our first trip with Trafalgar. You have certainly earned our respect.

I would highly recommend our recent trip to Peru and to Bolivia, along the Southern Divide in South America, going from Lima to Santiago. We enjoyed making our journey with our multi-aged and multi-national fellow travellers. Highlights of our trip included: riding the old-fashioned trains of Peru Rail to the start of the Inca Trail, viewing the beauty of Machu Pichu, climbing Rainbow Mountain, exploring colonial Sucre, taking photos on the Salt Flats near Uyuni, crossing the Bolivian desert in a 4X4, seeing live volcanos and geysers and lots of wildlife (e.g., llamas, alpacas, guanacos, vicuanas and vizcachas) in the wild.

Very happy, the tour was mostly as expected, travel was mostly smooth and we got to see and do lots of things in a month which was amazing. One thing I would rate low is the booking experience, website was down, multiple people I spoke to were completely lost (one was very helpful and she’s probably the reason I booked because I was about to give up) the itinerary disappeared afterwards and when I contacted you I spoke to another completely lost person who was massively unhelpful. no one thought to give me heads up that i need to provide evidence of onward travel for Peru and I almost didn’t make my plane, etc. overall I would say your guides on the tours are very organized compared to the people doing the bookings and providing support and you should definitely work on that.

Lima and Santiago bookended this trip. The small cities and towns we visited were more to my taste. La Paz was special in part because of a very good city tour largely on the cable card.

My husband and I had a wonderful trip, but our friends, who aren't as physically fit, had a hard time in the high altitudes - something to consider if you are older and not in good shape. The country is beautiful, the people were very friendly, and our main and local guides were wonderful.

Fantastic tour. Loved the wildlife in the Amazon and the guides there were so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The Inca trail was a once in a lifetime experience. Hard work but so rewarding! The whole team of chefs, porters and guides made it a fantastic experience! Peru has great food, culture, landscapes and amazing people!
