Extensions for tours

View of the mountains from Kuelap

If you've already decided to take a tour of Peru, why not make the most of your time and take the opportunity to explore some of the additional sights the country offers?

Here are some possible ready-made extension ideas. Any of these can be customised, or we can help create other extensions to other places and regions. Add these on before or after the main trip, or even include during your trip. One or more can easily be combined. Or a whole trip can be created by stitching together several extensions. We'll be happy to use our experience to help advise with the stitching and with the best order.

did you know...

The Inca Atahualpa promised Francisco Pizarro to fill a room in Cajamarca with treasure in exchange for his life. Indians brought over 12,000 lbs of gold and 26,000 lbs of silver. But to no avail, as Atahualpa was then treacherously put to death after a mock trial.

Testimonials: The whole trip was absolutely superb. All arrangements were handled in a professional manner and both transport and hotels were of the highest standard for the level booked.

The guides all knew their areas and gave excellent service from when we all arrived until the time we left Peru. I cannot praise you organisation enough and I pass on our thanks from all our party and would have no hesitation in recommending you to other. Indeed I have passed on the trip details to quite a few........ Colin G, UK
