    Breathtaking scenery, ancient cultures and world-renowned gastronomy

    Peru is a land where the echoes of ancient empires resonate through sky-piercing peaks, the mighty Amazon snakes through lush jungle and history and present day sit side-by-side in dynamic cities. Embark on a journey across breathtaking landscapes and learn about cultural heritage in the company of expert local guides whose passion for their country is contagious. 

    Peru’s pre-Columbian cultures have left an enduring legacy on the land. A private tour of the awe-inspiring citadel of Machu Picchu is a must-do, while the scenic cities of Arequipa and Cusco are home to fascinating relics of the Incan empire, whose advanced civilisation has captured imaginations the world over. Even today, the mystifying Nazca lines scrawled across the desert remain a source of debate to archeologists. 

    On a bespoke tour with Jacada, you’ll delve deeper, exploring Peru’s lesser trodden paths with a private local guide. Embrace the profound silence of the vast Tinajani Canyon in the Peruvian Altiplano, once said to be watched over by giants, where scenic hiking days turn into star-scattered nights. In the Peruvian Amazon, properties such as Posada Amazonas or Tambopata Research Centre, both part of our Positive Impact collection, place you at the heart of this magnificent ecosystem and the work they’re doing to protect it.

    No trip to Peru would be complete without fully sampling its renowned cuisine, largely considered to be the best in South America. In the cosmopolitan capital of Lima, our local guides will take you to sample native fruits at the Mercado Central, washed down with a mixology masterclass where you’ll learn to make Peru’s national cocktail, the Pisco sour. Let our travel designers recommend everything from their favourite Michelin-starred restaurants or a local lunch spot for freshest ceviche, to flavoursome dishes enjoyed at the invite of traditional Andean communities.

    Contact our expert travel designers to discover Peru for yourself, with a bespoke itinerary tailored to your tastes and interests.

    When to visit Peru

    While Peru can be a year round destination, it’s important to consider seasonality if you’re hoping to see Machu Picchu or enjoy some of the country’s incredible hiking. The best time to visit Machu Picchu is from May to September, when clear skies offer a high chance of dry days and spectacular views. If you want to hike the Inca Trail, bear in mind that it closes for the month of February due to the typical heavy rain that falls during this time.

    if you’re heading to the Peruvian Amazon, then the high water season between November and May is the best time for an Amazon cruise as it allows you to explore deeper into the jungle.
