Canyons, Condors and Machu Picchu, Peru 
 
Together with our local Peruvian partners we are excited to introduce our new 13 day, 12 night itinerary, which will take you through all the highlights of Southern Peru. We havent just found any old operators in Peru - its two of our senior guides Louise and Rudy!  Each year at the end of NZ's summer season they follow the sun and return to Rudy's homeland - ready to organise some of their own tours and get back out on the Peruvian road guiding.  To see more about Louise and Rudy check out our About Us  page. On their tour get the chance to see the majestic flight of the Andean Condors over the Colca Canyon, also the second deepest canyon in the world, and then travel to Puno to experience the unique lifestyle of the indigenous people on the islands of Lake Titicaca. Visit the Sacred Valley of the Incas and the ruins of Ollantaytambo, before descending into the high jungle behind Cusco to arrive at the citadel of Machu Picchu.

Tours are timed for the dry season when it is warm and sunny during the day and cool but still mild at night. This tour caters for all levels of cyclists, - distances can often be added to and are great enough to challenge strong riders but it is also suitable for recreational cyclists, combined with our full sag wagon support system.

The cycling is superb, at any moment there are a multitude of unique sights to see & we have included many off-the-bike experiences for you to enjoy. Enjoy the trip in the company of your fully trained and experienced Peruvian guides who will provide the local interpretation as well as looking after you’re every need.
