This 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.
Colca Canyon
Adventure holidays to Colca Canyon
Twice as deep as the USA’s Grand Canyon and second only in depth to its nearest neighbour Cotahuasi, Colca Canyonis one of the deepest canyons in the world.
Volcanoes to one side, glaciated peaks to another, and fields of agricultural terraces in the valley make it a unique location. Condors are usually easy to spot; the best time to see them is first thing in the morning as they soar on the rising thermals.
Sitting at the top of the canyon, the condors glide majestically past, sometimes at eye level. As the sun strengthens, so do the thermals and the condors rise higher and higher until they are just specs in the sky.

Donald Teale Essential PeruEssential Peru was just excellent, every day there there was something different and exciting, each experience matching the visit to Machu Picchu, which we thought was going to be the highlight, but just became another amazing example of the wonders of Peru.
