"Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag." Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Mariposa Tours delights in sharing the home of the famous Incas with you. Through our eyes, your visit will be from a unique perspective; be it from an archaeology viewpoint, one that examines textiles, purely historical, or absolutely recreational, the choice is yours. Choose from a Service Tour to a mid-priced all the way to a luxury 5-Star customized Tour.
Peru is slightly smaller than Alaska and almost twice the size of the second largest U.S. state of Texas. Yet its terrain is incredibly diverse: from coastal lowlands, to the high desert regions of Arequipa, to the Andes' Incan capital city of Cuzco at 11,150' (3,400 m) of elevation, to the largely unexplored jungle wilderness biosphere reserve of Manu, that covers 18,800 sq Km. Manu features some of the greatest biodiversity in the world.
And you will find yourself constantly surprised by the local cuisine, always tasty yet different in each city: from the Peruvian ceviche on the coast, accompanied by sweet potato and popped corn to the anticucho, "heart" kebabs sold on skewers if you're daring enough to try. Mariposa Tours makes sure that you have opportunities to try it all if you like.
