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.

With Yumani to the south, and <a href="/bolivia/holidays/places/2533-cha-llapampa/">Challapampa</a> to the north, Challa is one of three villages on the famous Isla del Sol. The small lakeside hamlet is home to 2,000 inhabitants who make their living largely from fishing, crafts and tourism.
Overlooked by the snowy peaks of the Cordillera Real, and surrounded by Lake Titicaca, Challa is a peaceful place. We travelled to this community from Yumani. As soon as we arrived, we noticed the sweet stupor which prevailed in the village. Only the presence of Bolivian children playing (and, let's face it, a few tourists) disturbed the peace of the village. Sheep and pigs live alongside each other on Challa's beautiful white sand beaches which was quite amusing to see!
After going for a short walk on the island, we decided to take a trip to the museum in Challa where we learned more about the Inca culture (the village is known to be the birthplace of the Inca civilisation). Just like we did in Copacabana, we decided to have some delicious trout for lunch. And then? A nice little siesta on the beach!
