A Nantwich travel expert has shared her unforgettable journey through Peru, taking in vibrant cities, ancient Inca history and some of the world's most spectacular scenery.

Co-founder of Global Travel & Cruise, Sarah Meadowcroft, opened the company's Nantwich branch in March 2026 and has now revealed what made her Peruvian adventure so memorable.

From the moment she arrived in Lima, Peru delivered a spectacular mix of dramatic landscapes, fascinating history, vibrant culture and unforgettable experiences.

Her adventure began in Peru's cosmopolitan capital on the Pacific coast. Lima is a vibrant city where colonial architecture blends with contemporary neighbourhoods, colourful plazas and one of the world's most exciting culinary scenes.

The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while districts such as Miraflores offer spectacular clifftop views, bustling cafés and beautiful parks.

At the heart of the city lies the magnificent Plaza de Armas, where grand churches, lively cafés and local musicians create an atmosphere that is impossible not to fall in love with.

One of Cusco's highlights is its incredible Inca stonework. Huge blocks of stone fit together with astonishing precision, without mortar, and have survived centuries of earthquakes.

Even today, experts continue to debate exactly how the Incas achieved such extraordinary craftsmanship. But no visit to Peru would be complete without seeing Machu Picchu.

Travelling there aboard PeruRail is an experience in itself, with the train winding through the spectacular Sacred Valley and following the Urubamba River.

Snow-capped peaks, lush cloud forests and dramatic mountain scenery unfold outside the panoramic windows, making the journey every bit as memorable as the destination itself.

Then comes that first glimpse of Machu Picchu. Perched high among mist-covered mountains, the Lost City of the Incas is every bit as breathtaking as imagined.

Sarah climbed to one of the highest viewpoints above the ancient citadel and, despite the effects of the altitude, every step was worth it.

Standing at the top and looking down over the perfectly preserved terraces, temples and stone buildings surrounded by the towering Andes was a moment she will never forget.

Peru offers so much more than one world-famous landmark. It is a destination rich in history, culture, spectacular scenery and genuinely warm hospitality.
