This was the big trip we’d been talking about for years, and it more than lived up to expectations. The balance was spot on – James helped us pace it so we had time in Cusco to acclimatise before the Inca Trail, and then a few gentler days around Lake Titicaca before flying to the Galápagos. Having the right hotels in the right places made such a difference, and the local guides really brought everything to life.

What an adventure! We’ll never forget the salt flats in Bolivia, staying in a hotel made of salt was such a fun experience, then crossing into Peru for Lake Titicaca and Cusco before ending in the Galápagos. The way the trip was put together worked really well, and we could tell how much thought had gone into every detail.

David & Susan Ormsby, Bolivia & Peru & Galapagos

We planned a trip to Peru with Sundowner Holidays and it was amazing. Visiting Lima, Cusco, and Machu Picchu gave us a great mix of culture, history, and adventure. Hiking the Inca Trail together and exploring the Sacred Valley were definite highlights. Sundowner helped put together an itinerary that suited all four of us perfectly, and we loved every part of it.
