Switch the View of a Screen to Something Worth Looking At

With modern technology playing a major role in all elements of our daily lives, it is often hard to switch off and take time-out to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. Those looking to “unplug” and escape the buzz of the modern world, why not ditch the computer screen, switch off the iPad and become an intrepid explorer in Peru.

Inkaterra’s Quintessential Peru Experience is the ideal opportunity to shift your focus away from your technology and onto a 14-day adventure you will never forget. With your phone safely stowed away,  take the time to re-energise and embrace the colourful culture, cuisine and sites Peru has to offer.

Savour the memories of breath taking sunsets over the forest canopy after all, it’s memories not phones that last a lifetime.

Campos Valle Sacred Valley
