PERU
Peru's classics.
Our pick of the 10 evening experiences worth booking in Peru, with the details that matter: what you see, how long you need, and what it costs.
See Lima’s Magic Water Circuit at night with a bilingual guide, small-group comfort, and synchronized fountains with music and lights.
“Rubi was a wonderful guide so knowledgeable and great English. The water park is great fun and beautiful with lots to do for every age. Rubi bought a light dessert of local donut and honey. We enjoyed the night and Rubi's company”
Lima at night: San Francisco catacombs, downtown colonial sights, and the Magic Water Circuit fountain show with lights and music.
“Susan (guide) and Kenyi (driver) AKA the dream team were amazing, due to traffic they were running behind but i got a call straight away to keep me updated, they more than made up any missed time at the end of evening. Both had amazing English and were VERY knowledgeable and helpful, and Susan managed…”
Ballestas wildlife cruise, pisco tasting, and Huacachina sunset dune buggy fun from Lima in one long 17-hour day with a guide.
“Wonderful experience. Great value for the money. would do it over and over again. Best tour ever!”
2-day Colca Canyon trek from Arequipa with condor viewing, Sangalle lodge pool time, sunrise uphill, and optional hot springs.

“Great food, lovely team and guides. They taught us so much. Remember long sleeves and repellent.”
Guided sunset walk in Trujillo with monument stops, Santa María la Mayor entrance, and a small tasting finish for about 2–3 hours.
“No se me ocurre mejor forma de conocer y apreciar un conjunto monumental como el de Trujillo. Momentos mágicos en el atardecer.”
Two days from Puno to Arequipa for Colca Canyon views, condors, vicuñas, Chivay hot springs, and a one-night stay.
“The trip can be divided into 2: 1)the first day was well organized, the transportation was good and also the guide was well prepared and kind 2)the second day was a mess, completely disorganised with a completely non suitable mini van (full of people and baggages blocked by a broom, ugly smell and without space…”
Cusco by Night pairs a Plaza de Armas stroll, Planetarium Cusco stargazing with Inca constellations, dinner, and a pisco sour pickup/drop-off.
“Great tour with very knowledgeable and experienced guides Valentin and his nephew. We were picked up at our hotel and taken first for a tour of the San Pedro Market. Valentin did a great job of teaching us about Cusco traditions as he took us through all of the colorful vendors. Next we went for…”
4-hour evening Lima tour with hotel pickup: Museo Larco, pisco sour snack stop, then the Magic Water Circuit light-and-water show.
“Our tour guide Gabriela was great! We enjoyed the Larco Museum the most with all the commentary from our guide. The tavern and water show were both enjoyable, and the company was very good about accommodating my request to start one hour later. However, in retrospect, the tour is overpriced and if I were planning…”
3-day Lake Titicaca trip from Cusco with Uros reeds, Amantani culture, Llachon lunch, and overnight buses via Peru Hop.
“A empresa foi muito pontual e organizada. O passeio pelo lago é lindo, entretanto, leve dinheiro a mais, pois em todo lugar você vai descobrir um gasto a mais.”
