Highlights
Peru: Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca

Pisac Market
Pisac is a small town in the Sacred Valley, known for its markets held several days per week. Villagers from the area come here to barter and sell their wares, varying from foods to woven goods to ceramics. There are also many handicraft shops near the market. Bargaining is possible with the vendors and it is a great place to see an authentic market. The symbol of the market used to be a huge spreading pisonary tree in the main square, but it was struck by lightning in 2003 and destroyed.

Ollantaytambo Ruins
Ollantaytambo was the royal estate of an Inca ruler in the 15th century and is still inhabited today. During the Spanish conquest, it was an Incan stronghold, partly defended by steep terraces below the main Temple Hill site. These terraces were also used to farm the steep hillside. Most of the ruins on the Temple Hill are incomplete, so it is believed that the site was still under construction by the Incas when it was abandoned, possibly due to a conflict among Incan groups. Ollantaytambo is the starting point for the Inca Trail hike.

Pablo Seminario Ceramic Studio
This is a ceramics workshop and studio in the Urumbamba Valley opened by artist Pablo Seminario who has studied ancient Peruvian pottery techniques for almost 30 years. His current works are combinations of traditional and modern styles, and he has pieces displayed in the Field Museum in Chicago. He makes pieces that range from utilitarian, such as bowls and plates, to decorative, such as Peruvian masks and jewelry pieces.

Quechua Community Visit & Lunch


Machu Picchu
This is an Inca ruin dating from the 15th century, located in the Andes in Peru above the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It was thought to have been built as an estate for an Inca ruler and was abandoned after only about 100 years when many inhabitants died from diseases such as smallpox brought by the Spaniards, and transmitted to the site by travelers. The site was discovered by Hiram Bingham, a lecturer at Yale, in 1911 and National Geographic Magazine devoted a whole edition to it in 1913. It is now Peru’s most visited tourist attraction, and numbers have to be carefully controlled to minimize negative impacts on the site by too many people.

Koricancha Temple


Uros Floating Islands
The Uros are a group of people who were in the region before the Incas, and they live on the lake on 42 floating islands they make from totora reeds, which grow in the shallows of the lake. The islands allowed the Uros people to defend themselves by simply moving them out of danger. Their houses are made of reeds, and some islands also have reed watchtowers. The Uros live as fishermen, catch shorebirds and ducks for meat and eggs, and also sell woven goods. Tourism has become a large part of their economy.

Home-Hosted Lunches
A wonderfully unique way to immerse yourself into a culture. With home-hosted lunches, you are welcomed into a local family’s home for an intimate eating experience feature local cuisine and interaction unlike any other!

Larco Museum
This privately owned museum in Lima, Peru is in an 18th-century royal building constructed on top of a 7th-century pyramid. It features exhibits of pre-Columbian history and artifacts, including a gallery of pre-Columbian erotic pottery. Rafael Larco Herrera began the collection in 1925 and his son Larco Hoyle created the museum itself. The museum has displays of gold and silver jewelry, ceramics and galleries that depict the chronology of the native people and their conquerors.

Travel Worry-Free

Every moment of travel is important to us.

Whether it’s helping you select your perfect dream destination, giving you a ride to and from the airport in a sleek black sedan, offering the security of our unrivalled Travel Protection plan or 24-7 support, we are with you every step of the way to make sure everything is perfect.

We don’t think of guided travel as a business. We think of it as a great honor and privilege to be able to share what’s so wonderful about the world with our guests. Since it’s so personal for us, we treat each and every traveler as a valued friend. We want you to sit back and let us handle all the details so you can have the time of your life.

Guaranteed to Go

We have guaranteed thousands of tour departure dates across over 170 of our tours. This means that you can book your tour with peace of mind knowing that it will depart as planned and your departure date will not change.

Travel Protection

We understand that life happens and sometimes plans change, so we don’t want you to book with us only to be socked with fees if you have to cancel your trip. That just adds insult to injury! That’s why we offer an industry leading travel protection plan that offers you a full refund, less the cost of the plan. Cancel for any reason right up to the day before your departure.

Sedan Service

Getting to and from the airport can be the most stressful and difficult part of any trip. Start and end your adventure in hassle-free luxury with our private sedan that comes straight to your door, loads your bags and whisks you off to the airport and back home again when you return. Now that’s how to start and end a trip the right way.

Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility: It's a way of life

It’s at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make. We believe that travel should be a force for good and by uniting with our employees, partners and travelers, we can make a positive impact in our local and global communities.

Our Mission

Social Responsibility at Collette means working together to take care of the places we live, work and travel. We focus on four key areas – Community, People, Travel and Planet – taking a holistic approach by striving to do good in every area of our business.

COMMUNITY

Our nonprofit, the Collette Foundation, supports worldwide communities in need through hunger and education initiatives. Each year, employees volunteer more than 4,500 hours of their time to efforts in their own communities and across the world.

TRAVEL

We strive to create an experience our guests not only enjoy, but also feel good about. We work to sustain and preserve communities, cultures, and traditions through tourism, and positively impact the places we come to know as travelers.

PEOPLE

We couldn’t deliver the amazing travel experiences that we do without our incredible team. We offer our employees a variety of tools to be happy, healthy, and successful including learning and growth opportunities.

PLANET

Our world is filled with awe-inspiring natural wonders. That’s why we are actively making responsible decisions to reduce our carbon footprint and care for our planet, the place we all call home.

Multigenerational Travel

Focus on family. We’ll handle the rest.

There are countless benefits to family travel. Experiencing new things together. Taking time to enjoy each other’s company without life’s typical distractions. Connecting with loved ones who don’t live near us.

No matter why you decide to travel together, or where you choose to go, spending quality time with family should be the only thing that matters. That’s why families book Collette tours – to let experts take care of all the details.

Why Book Your Multigenerational Family Trip with Collette?

Making Memories Together
Unique experiences are made richer with family by your side. And the journey lives on through memories retold. Do you remember that game drive with Grandma? We came so close to the elephants!

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
Planning a trip is hard work. Organizing the Blarney Stone visit? Finding a ride to the river cruise in Costa Rica? That stuff takes away from your time to focus on each other. Let us handle the logistics.

Learning From Each Other
Traveling with family is the best game of trivia. From architectural features to history, the facts your family memers have tucked away may surprise you. (And your Tour Manager can fill in any gaps!)

Exploring Your Ancestry
Cultural heritage forms our family traditions and beliefs. Tracing your family's roots is powerful. There's no better way to discover these countries than with your family. Go together, with an expert by your side.

More Peace
Peak season can be crowded and overwhelming, while the low season offers opportunities for quieter, more serene travel experiences.

Authentic Experiences
Experience destinations like the locals do - with less hustle and more room to appreciate the beauty around you.

More Sustainable
Low season travel reduces the strain on a destination’s resources, meaning less waste and lower pollution levels.

Support Local Economies
