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.
Ballestas wildlife cruise, pisco tasting, and Huacachina sunset dune buggy fun from Lima in one long 17-hour day with a guide.
2-day Colca Canyon trek from Arequipa with condor viewing, Sangalle lodge pool time, sunrise uphill, and optional hot springs.
“Canyon was great. The tour company was thoroughly mediocre; the bus driver played music at 3am, there were bugs at dinner, the breakfast on the first day was tiny.”
Puerto Maldonado guided 4-day Sandoval Lake tour: monkey island wildlife, canopy walkway, zip-line, kayaking, and lodge meals.
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.
Cusco by Night pairs a Plaza de Armas stroll, Planetarium Cusco stargazing with Inca constellations, dinner, and a pisco sour pickup/drop-off.
“The Cusco by Night tour was an excellent beginning to our trip in Peru. Kenny showed us around the market and gave a tour of the Plaza de Armas, then we went up to the best roof top to view the city as it was coming alive at night, and tried our first Pisco Sour.…”
4-hour evening Lima tour with hotel pickup: Museo Larco, pisco sour snack stop, then the Magic Water Circuit light-and-water show.
“Victor was an excellent guide. He was very professional and personable and provided a wealth of information in a short time during our tour of the Larco Museum. The Bolivar Hotel was a relaxing setting for our first taste of a Pisco sour. The light show was a beautiful ending to an enjoyable afternoon.”
3-day Lake Titicaca trip from Cusco with Uros reeds, Amantani culture, Llachon lunch, and overnight buses via Peru Hop.
