Peru Tours
Tour Operators
Tours | South America Tours | Peru Tours
These tour operators offer a variety of tours to South America's Peru, arguably
the most colourful, varied and dramatic country in the world, with scenery ranging
from the Amazon rainforest, through the Nazca desert, gorgeous Spanish
colonial cities, up to the magical, bleak Altiplano and its lakes and
on to one of the planet's best ancient sites - Machu Picchu.
The people too are colourful though the rateros [thieves] can be a problem so visiting Peru with a tour operator makes sense.
