Peru is a country that has it all. Its ancestral heritage gives us the chance to admire countless archaeological treasures. Its land is natural and pristine containing much of the world's biodiversity within its borders. But above all, the warm hearts of its people allow the soul of the travellers to get in touch with the country.
Peru is also a land of contrasts. Contrast of geography in which we can find 84 of the 104 life zones existing on the planet. Contrast of people, traditions and culture as a result of the waves of migration that have occurred throughout its history. Contrast of colours, sounds and landscapes from the vast desert coast to the greatness of the Pacific Ocean and giant sand dunes to the Andean highlands with its snowy peaks, glaciers and lagoons and down to the Amazon Rainforest which is rich in wildlife, plants and numerous endangered species. Almost like a continent in miniature, Peru will astound you.
This exciting photography adventure is brought to you by Rainforest Reef Escape in partnership with our friends at Peruvian Soul. We have put together an exciting photographic journey that will take you from the sand dunes of Ica to the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
YOUR PERUVIAN ESCAPE
Discover the Pisco Vineyards and the “Arabian-like” landscape of the Huacachina Oasis where you can photograph the endless sand dunes of the Ica desert. Enjoy a boat tour of the Ballestas Islands otherwise known as the “little Galapagos” of Peru, because of the great variety of marine wildlife that inhabit them. Take a guided tour of the Paracas Reserve home of the Andean flamingos. Visit Cusco located at over 11,000ft above sea level and enjoy a complete tour of this ancient Inca capital. From there you’ll visit the Sacred Valley and all of its wonders including a tour of the famous Machu Picchu citadel.
Spots are limited to 10 adventurous photographers and non-photographers that will join us on this unique and exciting Peruvian Photo Escape.

As for your meals, Peruvian cuisine is recognized around the world as one of the best in South America. Peru’s amazing cuisine has evolved from both local and immigrant traditions.
