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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

I've always loved travelling because the world is filled with such incredible beauty, diversity and unforgettable experiences. My roots are in Switzerland, but my own travel story truly began with a life-changing trip to New Zealand - so it feels especially meaningful that I now get to call this amazing country home. Last year, I moved to New Zealand to be with my Kiwi partner, and I’ve loved discovering more of this beautiful corner of the world ever since.
To date, I’ve explored 56 countries across six continents, with only Antarctica left on my bucket list. I’m a curious, adventurous and active traveller who enjoys connecting with different cultures, uncovering history and soaking up the atmosphere of vibrant cities. From exploring Europe’s great capitals and finding hidden treasures on a scenic road trip to experiencing wildlife, landscapes and nature up close, I’m always excited about what’s next.
I’ve spent around 16 years working in the travel industry in a range of roles, but being a travel consultant is where I truly feel at home. It combines everything I enjoy most: travel, organisation, careful planning and above all, helping people bring their dream holidays to life. I’m passionate about creating personalised travel experiences that reflect each client’s interests, style and needs because every trip should feel unique.
Whether you’re dreaming of iconic European cities like London, Paris, Rome or Vienna, cruising the oceans or rivers of the world, relaxing on a tropical beach in Fiji or Rarotonga, road-tripping through Ireland, heading out on safari in South Africa, Namibia or Kenya or standing in awe at Angkor Wat in Cambodia - I’m here to help you plan it all.
Let’s create an unforgettable journey together.
