Visit the famous Pisac Market in the Sacred Valley

There’s no better place to pick up some traditional souvenirs than Pisac Market, where local Peruvians come every Sunday to sell their handicrafts and produce. Be sure to check out the beautiful Quechuan handwoven wares and the castillos de cuyes (literally, mini castles for guinea pigs).

Discover the ancient Sacsayhuaman

The Sacsayhuaman fortress is one of the world’s most impressive buildings and a Peru must see. We’ll let you in on all the secrets of this engineering marvel, built by the Incans around the 13th century with some of the biggest blocks ever found in Incan construction. They’re fitted together so tightly that you can’t even fit a piece of paper between some of them!

Peru Tailored By You

Visit Moray and Moras

History buffs will love Moray, an ancient greenhouse with four platforms that seem to disappear into a huge crater. It's thought to have been used by the Incas to study which plants they could use for agriculture. The village of Maras is just as fascinating, with salt mines that have been used since the time of the Inca. We met the villagers who shared their ancient salt mining techniques and even let us have a go!

Hiking to the Inca bridge

Hiking to the Inca Bridge takes about 40 minutes from the entrance of Machu Picchu and whilst it is a relatively easy walk it is not for the faint of heart as at points the trail can be narrow and has a sheer drop off of several hundreds of meters. The walk itself is incredibly scenic and when you get to the end you will be able to observe an original Inca draw bridge that was used to protect the Western entrance to Machu Picchu.

Go to a rooftop bar in Cusco

The beautiful city of Cusco is a great way to explore by foot or local taxi (4 to 6 soles per trip within the general city area). Take a walk up to one of the tallest points in the city and have a local cocktail while taking in the red-tiled rooftops of Cusco City. Have the friendly staff introduce and share some interesting stories behind the cocktails while you are at it.

Lomo Saltado

If you love a good stir fry, you have to try this delicious fusion dish that mixes the Chinese stir-fry with classic Peruvian ingredients. Tuck into marinated strips of sirloin tossed with fried potatoes, yellow chilli pepper, onions, tomatoes, cilantro and soy sauce, served with fluffy steamed rice.

Suspiro a la Limeña

It doesn’t get sweeter than this romantic dessert that got its name from the poet husband of its creator. The name means ‘Sigh of a Lima lady’, because the pudding was soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Made from a creamy caramel and topped with meringue and a sprinkling of cinnamon, this is simply divine.

Chupe de Camarones

Soups have been a huge part of Peruvian food for centuries, but one stands out above the rest. Chupe de Camarones is a hearty shrimp stew, made with a tomato and hot red pepper broth, thickened with vegetables like yuca, potatoes, corn and rice. It’s a volcano of texture and flavor and is sure to keep you satisfied for hours.
