Walking Holidays in Breath Taking Peru

Peru is a unique land set amongst the vast continent of South America, which offers a rich and diverse culture. Peru has a unique history of dominance by many other empires, and as such lays claim to having one of the richest cultures of cuisine in the world. Chilli peppers and different fruits are used by communities to help their children to learn the different colours of the spectrum.

It was thoughts of this that prompted me to save for a holiday in Peru, an experience that was likely to be different from others that I had recently experienced. An offer from a friend I had not seen for almost thirty years, made me decide to go ahead with the trip. He had travelled as a teenager to South America, but had been so captivated by his experiences in Peru, that he decided to stay. His opinion could have been swayed by the Peruvian lady that he met and married whilst travelling.

Peru Holidays was there in front of me, larger than life, jumping from the pages of the search engine that I had used. In my mind I was searching for a holiday that was more than just a get-together between old friends. He lived and worked there, and would not have the time to guide me around his adopted land. There would come a time when I would go off on my own and travel with other people, so I wanted to find a choice of active holidays that offered some interesting places to visit.

The activities that appealed to me were the walking holidays on offer, as I was a keen walker in England over the South Downs. I know that it cannot be compared to Machu Pichu standing at over 6000 metres, but I managed it often and thought that I would be fit enough. One of the objectives of the holiday was to discover some of the facinating old temples in the jungle, which reminded me of some the scenes for an Indiana Jones film.
