Departures: Friday Weekly

You will stay in our tried and true friendly hotels, chosen for comfort, cleanliness and local flavour and travel using local transport as much as possible – local trains, local boats and sometimes minivans – giving you more chance to make contact with the local people as they go about their daily lives.

You will watch condors glide over deep canyons, fly over the mysterious Nazca Lines etched on the pampas of southern Peru; and glide across Lake Titicaca on a genuine reed boat.
