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.
“Milo was very informative. I learnt a lot about Peru from him”
Ballestas wildlife cruise, pisco tasting, and Huacachina sunset dune buggy fun from Lima in one long 17-hour day with a guide.
“a lot of waiting but i think some people might appreciate as it is a very full on day! beautiful sights and fun activities and good food!”
2-day Colca Canyon trek from Arequipa with condor viewing, Sangalle lodge pool time, sunrise uphill, and optional hot springs.
“Nice tour but you will get it for half the price if you ask for it in Arequipa itself. Don't book here.”
Puerto Maldonado guided 4-day Sandoval Lake tour: monkey island wildlife, canopy walkway, zip-line, kayaking, and lodge meals.
“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.
“Loved seeing the condors and visiting Chivay and the hot springs. Good communication and very organised. The buses seemed small and limited tight space.”
Cusco by Night pairs a Plaza de Armas stroll, Planetarium Cusco stargazing with Inca constellations, dinner, and a pisco sour pickup/drop-off.
“Very relaxed tour...liked Herlin the guide very much standing in for his brother in law. Good communication and insights into Peruvian customs and culture. Loved the Planetarium. Does not get 5 stars only because restuarant OK but might have preferred a n even more traditional restuarant. Good insight into Cusco.”
4-hour evening Lima tour with hotel pickup: Museo Larco, pisco sour snack stop, then the Magic Water Circuit light-and-water show.
“I was the only one on this tour, so I really felt like I got my money's worth! A personal and private tour of the Larco Museum was amazing. Suzanne was able to summarize and point things out that I would've missed if I had just visited on my own. She provided context and background…”
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.”
