A Journey Through Peru & Colombia 15 days
15 days
From Machu Picchu to Cartagena: Andes, Culture & Coast
Two very different sides of South America come together on this 15 day journey, pairing Peru’s Inca heritage and food culture with the Caribbean energy of Colombia. In Lima, move between the markets, museums and neighbourhoods of the capital before heading into the Sacred Valley, where ancient terraces, salt pans and Sacsayhuamán lead towards Machu Picchu. Then cross the continent to Cartagena, exploring its historic streets before taking to the water around the Rosario and San Bernardo Islands, with time to swim and snorkel from a private yacht. Back in the city, discover its food, street art and music.
