Vibrant city life in the historical centre of Lima.

Airport in Arequipa with volcano Misti.

Taxis on the Plaza in Arequipa.

The convent of Santa Catalina: a charming monastic city, oasis of calmness in the middle of bustling Arequipa.

The beauty of the moorish architecture of the monastery reminds of European cities like Sevilla or Granada.

The lonesome roads on the Andean High Plateau are often crossed by flocks of animals with their sheperds.

Machu Picchu: World Cultural and Natural Heritage, spiritual site, Inca-fortress, astronomic observatory, summer residence of the Inca kings ..... most beautiful and enigmatic evidence of the Inca period!

On a guided tour in Machu Picchu we hear many details about life at the times of the Inca regime.

A folklore performance in the „Centro Cosqo de Arte Nativo“ in Cusco is well worth seeing.

“La Compañia“ on Plaza de Armas: one of the lovely churches of Cusco.

Andean landscape on the way to the “Sacred Valley”

We explore Lake Titicaca: by boat we cross the reed and head towards .....

.... the Uros reed islands. We visit the Uros-folk, who even nowadays live on those islands.

On Taquile-Island in the middle of Lake Titicaca you find knitting men!

Traditional Coca-Tea is commonly appreciated and is said to be beneficial with discomforts due to the altitude.
