TORONTO — A group of 20 handpicked Canadian travel advisors experienced the magic and history of Peru while on an epic fam trip with Transat. In partnership with Jumbo Tours and using Air Transat’s direct flights from Toronto, the recent fam was inspired by Transat’s Magical Peru guided tour and included a wide array of authentic experiences. In Lima, advisors were able to visit the San Isidro market and take part in a culinary workshop at Guarguero restaurant where they learned how to prepare ceviche and pisco sours.
This was followed by a walking tour of the Presidential Palace, Lima Cathedral and the Rafael Larco Museum, after which advisors took a flight to Cusco for a visit to an alpaca farm. From there, they explored the Sacred Valley’s most iconic sites such as the Maras salt flats, the ruins of Pisac and the agricultural terraces of Moray, as well as Ollantaytambo, one of the best preserved Inca cities. The trip culminated in a visit to the famed ancient site of Machu Picchu, and concluded with a guided tour of Cusco.
