I felt well looked after the whole trip

I felt well looked after the whole trip, that our safety and comfort were important to the tour leaders and the local tour providers. I felt well informed about what to expect both before and during the tour and any concerns were addressed. that allowed me to relax and enjoy the experiences

The Best Light

This photography tour to Peru has been put together by our expert team of tour leaders and local guides to ensure each day we are always photographing in the best light possible.

Over the 14 days, you will learn all about lighting, and how to overcome any challenging lighting situations you may face with tips from the tour leaders and in the field assistance to make sure you get the best shot right there.

Expect Machu Picchu at sunrise, panoramic mountain views at sunset, and everything in between.

The Best Locations

These are not your normal tourist destination, and this is not your average tour.

Although we will be taking you to sights you may read about in your guidebook, on this photo tour expect the unexpected. Where others might go in, we go around.

Let us take you beyond the tourist trail in search of the real Peru. This is a custom designed photo tour, by a photographer, for photography enthusiasts.

Less Rushed

Hate feeling rushed in big group tours? Us too. That’s why we always keep our group sizes small, so you will never feel rushed.

We make sure you have all the time you need to get the best photographs possible. This also means that anytime you feel like taking a break or skipping a location, that’s fine with us.

We are here to support your photographic passion, and if that means taking a break, you got it!

Picture Yourself in Peru

From capturing the sunrise in the Ancient city of Machu Picchu. To practicing your night photography deep in the Sacred Valley. Peru is full of magic and wonders just waiting for you to discover.

But there is more to Peru than the ancient ruins. On our 14-day photography tour, you may experience incredible wildlife including alpacas and vicunas. Meet locals through community work in Cusco and visit the Sacred Valley.

Let us take you on a Peruvian style road trip you will never forget!

One-on-One Access to Tour Leaders

Beginner? Pro photographer? This tour is designed for all skill levels of photographers.

By keeping our tour groups small you will have more personal one-to-one access to your tour leader. This means you can improve your images no matter where you are on your photography journey.

We have specially-designed our tour as a small group experience. You’ll have plenty of room to find just the right light and direct as many questions as you need to towards your experienced tour leader.

We will only be accepting a maximum of 12 photo tour guests.

Improve Your Camera Skills

If you like photo vacations with an emphasis on improving your camera skills, then this photo tour to Peru is for you.

Over the course of the tour, we will offer you help and guidance in any areas where you may be struggling as well as develop skills in new areas.

Because of the small group size, we are able to create a more unique experience than other large group tours. Each tour is customized based on the group dynamic, needs, and skill level.

NOTE: Please note this is not a workshop and as such the focus is on experiencing the country. There are no structured photography classes, image reviews or lessons. It is all done in the field as needed. 

Explore the mysteries of ancient civilizations in Peru

We’ll arrive in Lima, Peru’s capital and one of the largest cities in South America. From there, we fly to Cusco, nestled high in the Andes at more than 11,000 feet. The ancient city was once capital of the Inca Empire. There, you can sample a pisco sour – Peru’s national drink – or head over to the Plaza de Armas in the heart of Cusco for some prime people-watching and street photography.

While in the Cusco area, we want to give back. We’ll spend time working alongside a local organization to help others in the area. Some of the most rewarding travel adventures we’ve experienced have been those where we’ve found a way to get involved in the area community and get to know the locals.

The Sacred Valley of the Incas

From Cusco, we’ll travel to Ollantaytambo, a riverside village in the Sacred Valley.

The city is known for its colorful market and its ruins are considered to be one of the finest remaining Inca archaeological sites in the country. Photograph Pisac’s warm residents, historic structures, and agricultural terraces on the steep hillsides that are still in use in this rural farming region.

Explore Peru’s center of weaving on our side trip to the ancient city of Chinchero – locals say it’s the birthplace of the rainbow.

Travel back in time as you stroll through the streets of this small Andean village. Stop for a photo of weavers working on their craft, locals in traditional dress selling and buying goods in the morning market or cleaning the front of their adobe homes.

In the main plaza, take a moment to photograph a colonial church from the 1600s, built on top of the ruins of an Incan Palace.

Machu Picchu

You’ve dreamed for months – maybe years – of taking this photo. You’re finally here – setting up your once-in-a-lifetime shot of the ancient Incan mountaintop city of Machu Picchu.

Just as you get your settings just right, and the light shines perfectly amongst the Andes peaks, a llama photo-bombs your shot. The misadventure ends up being one of your favorite photos from this unforgettable trip.

Machu Picchu was discovered by American explorer Hiram Bingham in July of 1911 and on our tour, you’ll have a full morning to explore every nook and cranny of this breathtaking site yourself. We’ll be sure we have just the right light for a variety of photos, including sunrise.

A llama photo bombs the shot at Machu Picchu

Peruvian Cuisine

Peruvian food is unlike any other country and is well-known in the world for some of the best cuisine available! Cuisine in Peru has been influenced by a mixture of native and immigrants culture.

There is a reason why Peru was crowned as “World’s Leading Culinary Destination” by the World Travel Awards more than five years in a row.

This boom started about ten years ago. Nowadays famous chefs from all over the world are looking at Peru and are opening restaurants due to the unique characteristics of the ingredients and spices that can only be grown in the region.

Peruvian stuffed avocado

On this tour, not only will you get to see and photograph many interesting locations. But we’ll also expose you to the taste of Peru and all this country has to offer.

Sip on a pisco sour or perfecto (pisco and wine mixture), have some fresh ceviche as an appetizer, and try some anticuchos (beef heart, it sounds gross but it’s actually really good!), a tasty causa (a stuffed potato dish that’s amazing), or you could get really brave and go for the alpaca steak or cuy (guinea pig) a local delicacy.

FAQs

What is the physical fitness level needed for this tour?

We are not doing formal hiking on this tour but for most locations, there will be some walking involved. It will encompass roughly 3-5km (on mostly flat ground) most days, sometimes less. So if you are in good health and fitness level, you will be fine. That means if walk regularly, can walk that far, and go up 3-5 flights of stairs without a problem, then you can do this tour.

But this tour is NOT recommended for people with mobility issues (for example bad knees) or those who are sedentary (sit a lot, not physically active). Many of the boutique hotels we use and some restaurants and viewpoints have many levels and often there are no elevators.

What skill level do I have to be in photography?

We encourage all skill levels to join us on this tour. It is not about what you know it’s about doing photography together, enjoying the adventure, and learning a few things along the way. Whatever your level you can get some tips from the tour leader. We do however recommend you have a basic level of knowledge and experience using your camera (don’t go on a tour with a brand new camera you don’t know yet). You don’t even have to be a photographer, but can come along and appreciate the relaxed pace of this tour.

Where does the tour start and how can I get there?

The tour starts in Lima. Jorge Chavez International Airport is denominated as LIM. Book your flights accordingly.

What should I know about the altitude of some of these locations?

For some people altitude sickness occurs at heights over 2,400 meters above sea level. Because Peru geography is diverse, we’ll be above this altitude on several occasions. Symptoms of breathlessness or headaches can occur during the first 24 to 48 hours after reaching this altitude. As generally speaking everybody’s body reacts differently, it is very difficult to predict if you are going to suffer from altitude sickness or not. You can rest assured that we have taken this in consideration and we’ll be moving at a slow pace for proper adaptation. However, if you are concerned about this we recommend you talk to a doctor or consult a travel clinic before departing or registering for the trip.

What sort of food should I expect to eat?

Peru is a foodie paradise, there is a great variety of options. Peruvian food is an important cultural expression. You’ll find plenty of options, from traditional Peruvian food to international cuisine.

I don’t like Peruvian food, will there be other options?

Of course, there will plenty of options. You may also be surprised by what Peruvian food is all about and like it after all!

Is Peru safe?

Peru is pretty safe, our itinerary focuses on safe areas and you can rest assured we have outlined the itinerary as such. There is also safety in numbers so just by going with a group you’ll be more secure than traveling alone.

What if I don’t have a roommate but don’t want to pay the extra for a single?

If you request to share a room and we cannot match you with a roommate you will be required to pay the single supplement fee. We do our best to pair everyone up but due to gender mismatches or uneven numbers, we may not always have equal numbers of males or females. But you can certainly ask a friend to come along as well to share with you.

Do you have to be a photographer to go on this tour?

Our tours are custom-designed specifically with photographers in mind, allowing for the best possible photographic opportunities.

However, they are an amazing way for any non-photographers to see a new country as well, just in a slower manner. In general, we cover less ground and do fewer things but we spend more time at each of the most interesting places and go deeper.

All travel enthusiasts are welcome to join our tours, and all the activities (like a photo shoot at sunrise) are optional, so you can sit any of them out if you wish.

Explore the country on this photo tour of Peru. Meet fellow photographers from around the world and make new friends.

Vietnam was my favorite of the 4 DPM Photo Tours/Workshops I've attended.

I had such a great time in Vietnam and would go back in a heartbeat.

My memory of the beauty of the country and the smiles of the people is very special. Being able to see parts of the country where other tours do not go has been a huge bonus and it was because of your care in tailoring a tour for photographers.

Thanks again for a marvelous trip

Photo tours are a great way to experience "aha" moments.

My first experience with Darlene was on her photography workshop in Drumheller, where the positive guidance provided encouraged me to join the Morocco and India photo tours. Because Darlene’s tours have the itinerary completely arranged, you can concentrate on the techniques and information she shares. AHA!

Really loved the India tour. I was totally exhausted when I got home, which is what I like as it means I gave it my all.
