Amazon rainforest: wildlife spotting & eco lodges

In Tambopata, as in Manu National Park, the Amazon jungle experience is organized around lodges of irreproachable quality, serving as a logistical base for boat trips and hikes on prepared trails.

Rooftop cocktails with a view

Urban rooftops offer a true high-altitude escape in the heart of Peru’s major cities. In Cusco, Lima, or Arequipa, enjoying a Pisco Sour or a Chilcano on a terrace allows you to observe the city and the daily lives of its inhabitants.
Whether on the Plaza de Armas in Cusco or Arequipa, or in the neighborhoods of Miraflores and Barranco in Lima, you will find your favorite bar and signature cocktail.

These treks cross some of the country’s most remarkable mountain ranges.
Each trek is an adventure in its own right, taking you through unforgettable landscapes. 

Machu Picchu Off the Beaten Path: Vilcabamba, Lares, Choquequirao, Huchuy Qosqo

In Quillabamba and Chanchamayo, these experiences allow you to understand the entire process—from harvesting to tasting—including production conditions, processing stages, and how the local inhabitants live from this agriculture.
Visits are hosted by local farming families, who share their expertise and show you their daily lives.

Practical Guide

This brief practical guide aims to answer your initial questions. Please contact us so we can address all your inquiries and help you organize your trip. 

Photographing with Respect

While photography is generally welcome, when visiting communities or individuals, it is essential to ask for permission before taking a photo, respecting their privacy and culture. In accordance with image rights and privacy standards, please avoid taking photographs of children.

Local Currency and Transactions

The official currency throughout Peru is the Sol (S/). Additionally, you can make purchases in US Dollars (USD) for large amounts. Conducting transactions in Soles with artisans and small vendors—without aggressive bargaining—promotes fair local trade.

Acclimatization and Altitude

The Andean geography requires a real awareness of altitude (a large part of southern Peru is situated above 3,000 meters / 9,840 feet). Our slow tourism itineraries prioritize progressive acclimatization, which is essential to fully enjoying the Andean experience. 

Living Culture and Andean Heritage

The language of the Incas is a living language of the Andes. The key to immersion lies in Ayni (reciprocity). A respectful interaction is worth more than any transaction. 

Entry Requirements (Passport and Visa)

A passport is essential and must have a minimum validity of six months from the date of entry into Peruvian territory. For the majority of French-speaking travelers, no visa is required for short-term stays. 

Ethical Commitment

Pasión Andina guarantees fair compensation for our guides and local collaborators. While tipping is a common practice in the industry for exceptional service, travelers are encouraged to act according to their own ethical conscience rather than out of obligation. 

Seasons

The best time to travel to Peru is from May to September, during the Andean dry season. Conditions are ideal for exploring Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca, with stable and sunny weather. If you wish to visit the coast or northern Peru, we recommend traveling between November and March for warmer temperatures. 

Health and Prevention

It is recommended to be up-to-date with basic vaccinations, particularly against Hepatitis A and Typhoid. The Yellow Fever vaccination is only required for travelers visiting Amazonian areas located below 2,200 meters (7,218 feet) in altitude.
