Q My friend and I want to do a trip that includes as many of the highlights of Peru as possible; hiking the Inca Trail, Cusco, the floating reed islands, Lima, Colca Canyon and a stay in the Amazon. We can’t go for more than two weeks and our budget is about £2,500 each, including flights. Is all this possible? Emily Cross, via emailA You will struggle to find a two-week itinerary that includes everything on your wishlist for £2,500; Explore (explore.co.uk) offers them all — albeit with a trip to Machu Pichu by train rather than hiking the Inca Trail — on its Peru Encompassed plus Amazon Extension tour, but it lasts 16 days and starts at £3,059pp, including flights, some meals and guiding.
