Discovering New Species in the Peruvian Amazon – Refugio Amazonas, Rainforest Expeditions
2. Bike Tour Barranco:
Biking in Lima might seem terrifying due to the traffic – but once you know where to go or the right operators to go to – it’s a wonderful way to see the city! Above all, there are several parks and stretches of beach that are safe to explore, we also highly recommend a bike tour of Lima’s hippest neighborhood, Barranco. Explore the unique architecture and culture in the Bohemian part of town, with lots of stops for delicious snacks!
3. Rainbow Mountain:
You’ve no doubt seen the gorgeous images on tour in Peru, visiting The Rainbow Mountain, located about 100 km southeast of Cusco. It’s not easy to get to (the best places never are!) – but can be done in a (long) day trip from Cusco. The different colors are a result of different mineral deposits and weather changes over time – so looking at Rainbow mountain is actually looking at millions of years of history! It also makes a great Instagram shot.

4. Specialized Food Tour:
Food tours are all the rage around the world, and as South America’s gastronomical capital – Lima is awash in great food tours. But increasingly, our foodie guides are getting more creative to accommodate all your dietary needs. Lactose-free? Gluten-free? Vegan? No problem! A new group of food tour operators. For instance, Exquisito, can accommodate all your needs – so don’t be shy to ask! We hope you’ll enjoy our cuisine, no matter your dietary restrictions! This is another of the unmissable tours in Peru!
5. Gocta Waterfall:
You might expect to have heard of all the highest waterfalls in the world – but have you heard of Gocta? If not, you’re not alone – it’s a relatively unknown natural wonder – only revealed to the outside world in 2006! It has two drops, and if they are both measured together, it could be considered the third-highest waterfall in the world!. Most importantly, access to the falls is through the city of Chachapoyas, which is also the gateway to the ruins of Kuelap.
