What our customers ask about Chile and Peru Tours & Trips
Is it better to visit Chile or Peru if I have limited time?
You're looking at two incredible destinations, each with their own distinct charm. Peru draws visitors with the mystical Machu Picchu and vast Amazon rainforest — perfect if you're passionate about ancient history and natural wonders. Over in Chile you'll find yourself surrounded by dramatic landscapes from the otherworldly Atacama Desert to pristine Patagonia and mysterious Easter Island. It's really about matching the destination to your travel style and what excites you most.
How can I best manage altitude sickness, especially in Cusco and Machu Picchu?
The altitude situation in Cusco is pretty significant at 11152 feet above sea level while Machu Picchu sits lower at 7970 feet. Since altitude sickness can catch anyone off guard you'll want to take it slow and steady. Plan to spend a few days in Cusco before heading to Machu Picchu — it's the perfect way to let your body adjust naturally. Stay hydrated drink plenty of water and maybe skip that evening cocktail for the first few days. Many travelers find coca tea helps and it's a local tradition worth trying. It's also worth checking with your doctor about altitude medication before you head out.
What are some locally recognized cultural practices visitors can participate in, and where do they typically take place?
You'll find amazing hands-on cultural experiences throughout the region. Head to the Sacred Valley where communities like Willoq welcome you into their textile traditions — you can actually create your own bracelet alongside local artisans. The Pachamanca feast in Ollantaytambo gives you a taste of authentic Andean culture as food slowly cooks underground with hot stones. Over in Buenos Aires you can dive into the passionate world of tango at a local milonga. Several tour operators have woven these experiences into their itineraries — you'll find the Pachamanca feast on Intrepid Travel's Premium Highlights tour and empanada-making classes in Buenos Aires with Globus's South American Odyssey.
Which local dishes are officially recognized as regional specialties, and where are they commonly served?
The food scene here is incredible and deeply rooted in local tradition. Lima's got ceviche — fresh fish transformed by lime juice chili and onions that you'll find everywhere from street markets to high-end restaurants. Over in Valparaiso Chile the legendary chorrillana combines french fries beef eggs and onions into pure comfort food. For the ultimate South American feast you can't beat an Argentine asado — imagine perfectly grilled meats provoleta cheese and local wines served in homes and traditional parrillas. Tours like Intrepid's Premium Highlights actually include stops for authentic chorrillana in Valparaiso giving you the local experience without the guesswork.
