Peru
A night with a family on Lake Titicaca and a night in a tent in the Sacred Valley
Peru
Essential Peru in a group of 20 at most: Lima, two nights in Arequipa to adjust to the altitude, Sillustani, Lake Titicaca and a night with a family in Luquina, Cuzco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and a night in a luxury tent facing the mountains. I love Peru version from €2,779, private version from €4,626, or extended into the Amazon (14 days) from €4,229 per person.
