On these pages you will find ideas for a trip to Peru to help you prepare for your trip. All these ideas are there just to get your imagination going; you can alter, mix and match them as you please. Your local agent will help you create a unique and unforgettable trip, just for you! Peru has three distinct parts, each with its own character: the Pacific coast, which is the most densely populated; the Andes range, with the highest mountain being the towering Huascarán at 6,768 metres; and the Amazon, which covers the largest part of the country. If you’re going, start with the must-see: Machu Picchu – fortunately not found by the Conquistadors – rediscovered in 1911. You should visit it at dawn to see the ruins shrouded in mist. This extraordinary site still clasps a few secrets to its bosom. Not far away, the Andes range draw ramblers and trekkers to magnificent landscapes. The ultimate rambling experience is the Inca Trail through exceptional archaeological sites. During your stay in Peru, you must stop in Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire. The Spanish erected their buildings, especially religious ones, over Inca constructions which they systematically destroyed, only sparing their characteristic foundations, which are still visible today with their large, perfectly cut and fitted stones. A voyage out of time awaits you in Cusco.

Lying around six miles from the town of Uyuni and right on the edge of the Salar salt flat, Colchani is a tiny village where the local families live a wretched existence extracting and working the salt.

The tiny, destitute little village of Colchani was one of the places I stopped off at when travelling around Bolivia.  This godforsaken place sits completely lost out in the absolute middle of nowhere. The one and only way to survive here is by working the salt. At one of the houses in the village I learned how this white gold is processed and prepared. After first being dried on a flat surface over a fire, the large grains are then milled and the salt placed in bags. Everything is done by hand here. The work involved is hard and laborious, and the fact that it also pays very badly is plain to see.  In the end, and though I'd asked myself "Why stop here?" on first arriving, I did find it very moving learning about the unbelievable lives the few people who live here lead. And then it was time to get back on the road, leave them to their wretched daily existence, and head on to the wonders of Salar.
