Andean Summer

Go beyond beaches, boat rides and barbecues—and plan a late-summer getaway to spectacular Peru

Full of nature, history, culture and magic, Peru is one of South America’s most captivating destinations—and Gilt City can help you get there. Kaypi Peru capitalizes on all the country has to offer, providing guided tours of the jungles, trails and cities that have drawn visitors for centuries. On the Inca Jungle Journey, you’ll join a group and hike through valleys, mountains and archeological sites, ending at the astounding Machu Picchu. Complete with a walking tour of Cusco and a visit to the Scared Valley, it’s an ideal way to see a little bit of the country’s varied terrain.

Slightly more intensive, the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is an introduction to one of the most famous hiking routes in the world (some 40,000 kilometers of roads in total, all built by the Incas more than 500 years ago). Starting in the Andes and ending in the jungle, you’ll get a taste of this ancient passage as you travel through cloud forests, Incan tunnels, bridges and even snow. If a fully immersive experience is what you seek, opt for the Peru Diversity trip, which covers city tours in Lima, Arequipa and Cusco as well as excursions to the Uros Islands in Lake Titicaca.
