Peru - land of gold and the sun-worshipping Incas, the biggest empire in pre-Columbian America. From its biodiverse cloudforests and Indigenous peoples, to the towering Andes and its Inca ruins, Peru is an extraordinary destination.
The itinerary combines a rich cultural programme with CPD professional visits examining nursing, midwifery and women’s health in a country where modern and traditional health care are both widely practiced. The professional itinerary ranges from hospitals to clinics to charities, as well as some excellent visits examining traditional medicine.
