For travellers who want great-value trips to see the wonders & hidden gems of Peru
Contiki, the leading youth travel brand for 18-35s, has launched two new, super-saver trips to Peru, namely ‘Lima to Machu Picchu Road Trip’ and ‘Peru: Lima to Huaraz’.
On these trips, travellers will explore Peru with Trip Managers who speak both English & Spanish. Additionally, both trips include quality hostel accommodation, all internal transport, comfortable sleeper coaches, and an awesome group of 18-35s from around the world.
With the ‘Peru: Lima to Huaraz’ trip, Contiki is now the first youth operator to spend more than just a day in the lesser-known city of Huaraz in Peru. Over 6 days, travellers will have the chance to hike one of the last remaining tropical glaciers in South America, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Chavin de Huantar, and even check out the jaw-dropping Laguna 69 in the Andes. With all day-trips included & pre-planned by experts, this trip is perfect for those looking to see a new side of Peru, beyond the Inca Trail – without any planning needed.
The Lima to Machu Picchu Road Trip is a cost-effective option for travellers who want to tick off Peru’s must-dos, plus a few hidden gems in just 11 days. The trip includes the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Travellers will also have the chance to ride sand buggies in Huacachina, take an aeroplane ride for a bird’s-eye view of the  Nazca Lines (ancient geoglyphs stretching over nearly 500 sq km), take a boat tour of the Ballestas Islands, meet the locals at Lake Titicaca, and even visit a Pisco vineyard.
These trips are new additions to the already existing collection of adventure-packed Latin America trips – in Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil & more – that Contiki offers, and are a great choice for travellers who want budget-friendly trips. Contiki’s other Peru trips come with included flights and premium accommodation – perfect for those who are short on time, or want an enhanced experience.
“The archaeological wonders & breathtaking natural spots in Huaraz are massively underrated. We wanted a trip that’ll show travellers a whole new, unexplored side of Peru – somewhere no other youth travel operator has been before. We’re really proud of the product, and know that anyone looking to add more to their Peru experience with Contiki will definitely love it”; says Celeste Rooke, Director of Operations for Contiki – North and Latin America.
“We now visit the spectacular Ballestas Islands, Huacachina for the Nazca Lines and sand dunes, and even Huaraz. We’re really happy to see what the product has shaped up to be, and can’t wait for our travellers to come experience it too”; says Emma McMahon, Product Development Director at Contiki.
“Anyone who wants to see Peru in its most authentic form will definitely love these trips. You get to travel with local, Spanish-speaking Trip Managers who’ll show you the best bits of every place we visit. There’s no need to worry about language barriers at all!”; says Joel Huaman, Trip Manager at Contiki.
