Peru

Living culture. A fresh perspective.

Begin with the stories of a place. Cusco and the Sacred Valley offer a starting point for exploring heritage, local culture and the relationship between communities and the landscape.

Three ideas to start with

• Explore Cusco’s historic centre and its cultural heritage.
• Research locally led cultural experiences around the Sacred Valley.
• Consider how an archaeological visit fits your interests and wider route.

Make it a learning experience

Choose one question you want your visit to answer. Read a little before you go, make space for a locally led explanation where available, and keep a short record of what surprised you.

Leave room for the rest

Don’t fill every hour. Build in time for meals, socialising, transport and rest. A flexible plan makes it easier to follow an unexpected interest without rushing.
