This was our first time with Exodus and we are already looking for our next trip. Essential Peru was an amazing adventure packed with sights, sounds, smells and experiences that would be hard to beat. We saw so much and experienced everything from thunder and rainbows at Machu Picchu , to haute cuisine, to historical sites, high mountain passes, thousand year old plants, vicunas, llamas, and alpacas, sailing on Lake Titicaca, staying with a family on Amantani Island, hiking, and condors.

Adventure Holidays in Lake Titicaca
This is the highest navigable lake in the world, and the birthplace of the Inca religion. Spanning the border between Peru and Bolivia, Titicaca has been central to various ancient civilisations for centuries. The islands of the Sun and the Moon are central to the Inca myths, and the extraordinary ruins of Tihuanaco border the lake. Now the islands of Amantani and Taquile offer an insight into how life has existed for centuries, and the floating islands of the Uros people are one of the world’s most amazing inhabited locations.

John Johnston Essential PeruThis was my first trip to South America and won’t be my last. I’ve now taken 6 Exodus tours and this was my favourite. There were numerous and various places to visit, even the long drives through the Andes was full of amazing scenary and things to see. There were highlights every day. Your health is well looked after, with testing twice a day whilst at altitude.
