Peru
Welcome to Peru, a land of ancient treasures & stunning beauty!
Peru is a truly unique and remarkable destination, offering an unforgettable experience. While Machu Picchu, the 15th-century Inca citadel, is world-renowned, Peru also boasts diverse landscapes, from sandy coastal deserts to the lush Amazon rainforest and dramatic mountain peaks. Our Machu Picchu Challenge will guide you through glaciers, coffee plantations, Lake Titicaca, and remote Inca sites, revealing the country’s hidden treasures.

“The experience in itself was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The accommodation was incredible, the hosts were lovely, the school experience was surreal, the food was lovely, the views around where we were based were incredible and the activities we got to take part in were all so good. I would definitely do the 2.5 weeks all over again if I had the chance to.”
