Essential Peru was just excellent, every day there there was something different and exciting, each experience matching the visit to Machu Picchu, which we thought was going to be the highlight, but just became another amazing example of the wonders of Peru.
Colca Canyon
Adventure holidays to Colca Canyon
Twice as deep as the USA’s Grand Canyon and second only in depth to its nearest neighbour Cotahuasi, Colca Canyonis one of the deepest canyons in the world.
Volcanoes to one side, glaciated peaks to another, and fields of agricultural terraces in the valley make it a unique location. Condors are usually easy to spot; the best time to see them is first thing in the morning as they soar on the rising thermals.
Sitting at the top of the canyon, the condors glide majestically past, sometimes at eye level. As the sun strengthens, so do the thermals and the condors rise higher and higher until they are just specs in the sky.

Machu Picchu was outstanding. The Nasca Lines were fantastic. We really enjoyed all the restaurants and food. It was above and beyond delicious.
Carol Rosie Essential PeruFirst time travelling with Exodus.
One of the best trips we’ve taken. Very well organised, great tour leader and lovely company of our fellow travellers.
Every day provided wonderful experiences. Awe inspiring scenery, changing landscapes, culture and history, the people we met and sites visited were just wonderful. We travelled many kilometres and had some early starts, but the comfortable transport and laughs on the way made it worth it. We had a full on experience of this beautiful Country. Thanks to Renato, our tour leader, everything went smoothly. His pride in his country was infectious.
