We'll begin in the Peruvian capital Lima, heading down the coast to the mysterious Nazca Lines, a series of shapes carved into the desert hundreds of years ago that are only fully visible from the air.

Then from the beautiful colonial city of Arequipa we overland through the High Andes, visiting the dramatic Colca Canyon, famed for its condors.

We explore the Sacred Valley, hiking through the mountains on remote Inca Trails before taking a guided tour of Machu Picchu.

Finally we overland across the altiplano to Lake Titicaca and the Uros Islands, crossing the border into Bolivia and ending our trip in La Paz.
