With a treasure trove of ancient ruins, jaw-dropping landscapes, and people that are as proud of their history as they are warm and welcoming, Peru never fails to steal the heart of virtually all those that visit. Traveling to Peru will not only astound your senses but also mesmerize your soul and inspire you to delve deeper into the mysteries of human civilization.
Peru also happens to be located just next door to Ecuador and Colombia—two extraordinary destinations that perfectly complement your tour of Peru and South America!
Due to its position near the equator, Peru’s weather is remarkably temperate throughout the year. That being said, the only two “seasons” that Peru experiences are its drier and slightly wetter portions of the year.
These two distinct seasons are quite varied in each region of the country, so it’s worth looking into them (or better yet, simply asking our destination experts!) to nail the ideal time to plan your Peru trip.
Peru has one of the densest indigenous populations in South America, which plays a special role in exemplifying and even celebrating the unique human history that the country has been home to. You won’t be disappointed when you experience these cultures firsthand, as they are rich and inviting with extraordinary traditions and beliefs.
Additionally, Peru is home to a plethora of UNESCO World Heritage Sites (13 in total), the most renowned of which is the unmissable Machu Picchu Citadel. Along with these, the country’s numerous, diverse regions offer an eclectic menu of tour experiences and provide a beautiful window into the varied geography of South America.
Sitting among the Top 10 Most Beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the World is Machu Picchu, and understandably so—its intricate and mesmerizing network of ruins that stands atop a beautiful mountainside never fails to impress! Visitors that embark on a journey here will come away with a soul-stirring exploration of the fascinating history of the Incas and the beauty of our planet.
Machu Picchu is, simply put, a part of your Peru trip that you won’t want to leave out.
Metropolitan Touring prides itself in guaranteeing that all biosecurity protocols are taken throughout every one of its tours and operations in Peru.
When it comes to security, Peru is a relatively safe country as well. That being said, petty crime and theft can be expected in major cities and crowded touristic spots. This is why we advise all our travelers to remain vigilant of their surroundings when exploring such areas.

This small, secret rooftop of the restored Casa Gangotena mansion peers over Plaza San Francisco in the center of Quito’s colonial Old Town, the world’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Order a Cedrón Spritz, a refreshing mix of rum, lemon, sparkling wine, and fresh lemon verbena (cedrón) syrup and leaf, then revel in the mesmerizing, real-time montage of daily life in Ecuador’s capital as it parades past.
A Font of information, Klaus has spent decades in the field, leading tours in the Amazon, Andes and Galapagos Islands. He hung up his guiding boots a few years back and now creates itineraries for the tour operator, Metropolitan Touring. Adrift in the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of miles from mainland South America, Galapagos is one of the most biodiverse locales on Earth.
Santa Cruz II is a replacement for the much-loved Santa Cruz, which plied the waters of the Galapagos for 36 years. It is not a new ship; it was built in 2002 and sailed as Mare Australis under the Australis cruise brand, operating expedition cruises around Cape Horn and to Antarctica. Metropolitan Touring bought the ship in 2015 and completely refurbished it, launching it as Santa Cruz II in October 2015.
When this modern, minimalist, glass-walled jungle lodge opened in 2012, it changed the accommodation game in South America. Arquitect Alfredo Ribadeneira’s “protective cocoon” would impress in a modern city; in the depths of an Andean cloudforest, it is wild, audacious and beautiful. Though only 70 miles from Quito, Maspi Lodge sits in splendid isolation, perched on a cliff at the end of an unsealed road.
