On these pages you will find ideas for a trip to Peru to help you prepare for your trip. All these ideas are there just to get your imagination going; you can alter, mix and match them as you please. Your local agent will help you create a unique and unforgettable trip, just for you! Peru has three distinct parts, each with its own character: the Pacific coast, which is the most densely populated; the Andes range, with the highest mountain being the towering Huascarán at 6,768 metres; and the Amazon, which covers the largest part of the country. If you’re going, start with the must-see: Machu Picchu – fortunately not found by the Conquistadors – rediscovered in 1911. You should visit it at dawn to see the ruins shrouded in mist. This extraordinary site still clasps a few secrets to its bosom. Not far away, the Andes range draw ramblers and trekkers to magnificent landscapes. The ultimate rambling experience is the Inca Trail through exceptional archaeological sites. During your stay in Peru, you must stop in Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire. The Spanish erected their buildings, especially religious ones, over Inca constructions which they systematically destroyed, only sparing their characteristic foundations, which are still visible today with their large, perfectly cut and fitted stones. A voyage out of time awaits you in Cusco.

Chulumani is the capital of Bolivia's Sud Yungas region and is situated three hours by road from La Paz. As it's located in a zone which gradually merges into the Amazon rainforest, Chulumani reaches an altitude of 'only' 5700 ft, making it a much hotter place than La Paz.

I spent a few days staying with a couple of French-Bolivian friends in La Paz, and it was them who suggested I go to Chulumani for the weekend. So off we set together as a small group for a three-day trip. Though Chulumani is only around 75 miles from La Paz, it still took us a good three hours of travel time to get there! The road taking you to Chulumani is not exactly what you'd call wide, and many accidents occur along it. With the scenery and landscapes changing as we progressed further, and the climate increasing in humidity, we gradually found ourselves travelling further into the Yungas region, which marks the beginning of the Amazon rainforest. We stayed at a village on the first night. Since the place was well off the beaten track, we were the only tourists there! The village was full of life due to the fact that there was a large market open around the main church square. There were some excellent cheese empanadas, which you had to queue up to buy. We spent the next two days walking about the surrounding area and doing some camping in the wild (it was so so difficult to find somewhere to camp that was acceptably flat and had a water source nearby!). The climate was humid and there were quite a lot of mosquitoes. We encountered a few local country people and came across numerous fields of coca plants: this is Bolivia's main coca-growing region, with the famous leaves sold all across the rest of the country once harvested. I have to admit I was kind of looking forward to experiencing the cool freshness of La Paz again once we were ready to head back at the end of the three days.
