Peru

Mystical mountains, ancient wonders and vibrant flavours


A land of mystery and adventure

From the misty peaks of the Andes to the untouched depths of the Amazon, Peru truly is a land of mystery and adventure.

Trek the legendary Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, where ancient ruins emerge from the clouds like a scene from a movie, sail across the shimmering waters of Lake Titicaca or explore the vibrant streets of Cusco, full of colourful markets, lively music and smiling faces.

Food lovers will be in heaven. Peru’s world-famous cuisine is a flavour explosion, from zesty ceviche to hearty lomo saltado and stuffed rocoto relleno peppers, all washed down with pisco sours - of course!

Whether you’re hiking, sightseeing, engrossing yourself in centuries of fascinating history or enjoying a drink with a spectacular view, Peru is a destination that will stay in your heart long after you leave.

Flight time

The flight from Auckland to Peru takes roughly 17.5 hours with a stopover. It's a long haul, but so worth it for the wonders of this ancient land.

Calendar Icon

Best time to go

For trekking and major cultural experiences, June to August is the time to go as it's dry, but a couple of months either side of this works too.

Time difference

Peru is between 17 and 18 hours behind New Zealand, depending on Daylight Saving in Aotearoa, so there's bit of adjustment to be made when you get there.

"Toni Rendell is the BEST by a country mile. Have had to unfortunately deal with a corporate travel manager due to work providing me with a prize/voucher to their corporate travel agency and it’s night and day difference. Have felt bad having to lean on Toni for advice that the corporate travel agent wouldn’t answer for me"
