As a holiday destination Peru, just south of the equator, scores on mountains

mountains on earth outside of the Himalayas and the Inca archaeology is
the most spectacular outside of Egypt.

Peru's mountain areas
The Peruvian Andes form long ridges and deep valleys and the mountains
are particularly shapely with remarkable wind carved ice flutes –
Alpamayo has long held the accolade of being the world's most beautiful
mountain. Trekking in Peru's mountains is varied and can take you along
high valleys, across passes and longer treks can circle one of the massifs.
One of the best known treks in Peru is the circuit of the Huayhuash –
Footloose can arrange your Peru holiday to include a variety
of mountain tours.
Inca archaeology in Peru
 Several
hundred years ago the Incas strode out from their capital, Cusco, to form
one of the world's greatest empires. Their works still stand and are amazing
in their scale and grandeur. Peru is the proud home of Machu Picchu, the
lost city, the highlight of any Peru holiday. Machu Picchu is best approached
on foot along the Inca Trail and we can offer several
tours that do just this. Around Cusco and the Sacred Valley are many
other outstanding archaeological sites well worth a visit.
Lake Titicaca
One of our popular tours takes the world's highest railway from Cusco
and visits Lake Titicaca. There is an other-worldly atmosphere about this
high lake, with huge blue skies and sparkling light. A boat will take
you to the floating reed islands on the lake. See Peru
holiday itineraries for details.
The lowlands of Peru
In the Peruvian lowlands there are many other places worth visiting, other
ruins, cities and, of course, those fascinating Nazca Lines in the desert.
See our Peru holiday itineraries for details
of tours to these areas.
