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.

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.

Travel is a passion for me, I have been in travel for quite some time (too long to remember) from Corporate to Leisure. 

I aim to help people no matter what their plans are to create the best holiday experience possible. I enjoy being part of our travellers experience and making the whole process as easy as possible & to create fantastic memories that are special and will last a lifetime for themselves and their families.

I have travelled to some amazing places, but one stands out, the 6 months I spent working on Antarctica at McMurdo Station is a highlight & backpacking through India was a challenge.

From visiting the many aspects of Australia, Asia, South Africa & South America to basking in the sun on the Maldives or hitting the beaches and shopping in Thailand I would love to help you create some new stories & memories. I love active holidays and have followed the Moto GP / Formula 1 and the Isle of Man TT was particularly exciting. Followed by walking up on Mt Kinabalu was another eventful trip.

However, every great adventure starts with a plan, and I would be honoured to help you with that plan, whether you take the road less travelled or one of the many roads that lead to Rome.

I look forward to helping you to create more wonderful stories and memories in the coming years.

Having been in the travel industry for 14 years, it's safe to say travel is my biggest passion. I love turning up somewhere not knowing what to expect and being delighted by both the differences in culture, cuisine and customs.

Part way through my career I took a year off and spent this travelling extensively through central America, Asia and Europe. I'm now fortunate enough to be able to pass on the knowledge I've gained over the years and work with my clients to bring their travel dreams to fruition.
