Discovering Peru: A Journey Through History, Culture, and Natural Beauty

I recently had the opportunity to take a group to one of my favorite destinations in the world, Peru! It was an unforgettable journey, with stunning scenery, exquisite food and genuine connection to the rich tapestry of Peru's culture and history.

We started in Lima, a lively city where the food scene stole the show. Imagine savoring dishes like ceviche and lomo saltado – a true feast for the senses. The mix of traditional ingredients and international flavors was a delightful surprise, making every meal an adventure.

From there, we ventured into the heart of the Amazon rainforest in Puerto Maldonado. The sights and sounds of nature were awe-inspiring, from monkeys chattering in the trees to brilliantly colored macaws flying overhead. It was a chance to connect with the natural world in a way that's hard to put into words. Our journey continued to Cusco and the Sacred Valley, where ancient ruins and breathtaking landscapes awaited. We had the wonderful opportunity to visit a local elementary school, and take some school supplies and donations. The children showed us some of their local dances and traditional foods. They were adorable! This was truly a highlight of our trip!

We witnessed the celebration of the Inti Raymi festival – a once-in-a-year spectacle that takes place exclusively on June 24th. This is a celebration of the sun, the Inca New Year. The vibrant colors and lively dances gave us a glimpse into the rich culture of the region.

What Our Clients Say

Our cruise to the Holy Land Cruise was a wonderful experience that fulfilled the dream of a lifetime! We enjoyed all the excellent information give during the trip and the way we were taken care of on the ship, the buses and all the tours.

Walt and Bonnie Rast – Fall Holy Land Cruise with Kay Godfrey

I wanted to tell you what a magical trip we had with Jack Marshall & Murdock Travel! We went on the LDS Fall Nauvoo & Branson Escape Tour. I have been in the travel industry over 23 years and have visited most of the 52 states in the union. I can’t tell you in simple words how this trip has changed my life and those that we traveled with. Jack and his wife Lizzie Marshall was absolutely the best tour director I have ever had the pleasure of associating with (and throughout my tourism career I have met 100’s). He was so knowledgeable about LDS Church history and we were riveted to all of his commentary. I would definitely go on another LDS Murdock Travel tour if Jack Marshall was our director again. The hotel accommodations were A+ and all of our food was outstanding! We loved staying in our hotels for 2 or 3 nights NOT having to pack up and move every day. Sarah, you and your team really have a quality program and I would recommend touring with Murdock Travel to anyone. In fact all of the guests that were on this tour with will be lifelong friends and we are all planning on going on another LDS trip with Jack Marshall & Murdock Travel in 2018. Our lives are forever impacted for good because of Murdock Travel!

Kim at Morris Murdock Escorted Tours was fantastic to work with and helped make our group cruise to Alaska the perfect vacation! She patiently answered all of our questions and gave us insights to allowed us to more fully our time onboard and onshore. It was nice knowing that our trip was organized by a professional and that she had our best interests, and not the bottom line, in mind.
