Photographing Peru with Jeff Cable

If you are looking to photograph Peru and all it's beauty, and learn from a 8-time Olympic photographer, then this is a great trip for you. No matter what level of photographer you are (from beginner to professional), you will love this photo tour. We photograph a wide variety in this country. Everything from the cities of Lima and Cusco, Machu Picchu, and even a trip to the Amazon rain forest.

And...as a bonus...since Canon sponsors me, they will let you borrow almost any camera and lens for this trip at no cost! This is not to say that you have to be a Canon shooter to join the group. I teach people using all brands.

If you would like to join me on this awesome 12 day photo tour, please contact me as soon as possible to secure a spot. You can see all the photo tours on my tour page.

Lima

We land in Lima and stay at a nice hotel downtown. On our first full day, we have private transportation and also walk the city.

Sacred Valley

After visiting Lima, we fly to Cusco, but immediately head to the Sacred Valley. This is a lower altitude (which is perfect for getting adjusted to the higher altitude) and has some amazing things to see here. We will visit a hummingbird sanctuary, see how the Peruvian women sew their beautiful colorful clothes, and get amazing views of the Andes Mountains. We also make a trip out to see the Salt mines which have been in existence for hundreds of years.

Machu Picchu

You can't go to Peru and not see the world famous wonder of Machu Picchu. We take a beautiful train ride to Aguas Calientes and stay at a hotel at the base of the ruins and make numerous trips to this photographic site.

Visiting locals in the mountains and then off to Cusco

We will visit a local community and see how they live in the mountains. We will visit one of their homes and schools. And then we head into the city of Cusco, which has amazing markets and quaint city streets and squares.

Puerto Maldanado

To change things up, we then fly to Puerto Maldanado, which takes us into the Amazon rain forest. Here is where we will see the wildlife that the country has to offer. We have some great surprises for you here!

Skill level

As a matter of fact, I have taken many novices and they have come back with awesome photos. I have taken people with SLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, and even mobile phones. My job is to teach you how to get the best photos with whatever camera you have.You do need to be mobile since we do a fair amount of walking on this trip.

Cost

The cost for this trip is $7,450 all inclusive of internal flights, hotels, food and non-alcoholic drinks.

Gear and Clothing Suggestions

Peru offers plentiful photographic opportunities and you will want to have the right photography gear with you to capture the best photos in this location. Here is what I recommend:

* Two camera bodies (one as a backup)

* A long zoom lens (400mm or longer)

* A mid-range zoom lens (in the 24-150mm range)

* High capacity memory cards

* A polarizing filter

* A tripod

* A good camera bag

* A laptop computer for downloading and editing

* An external hard drive for backing up your data

If you are reading this and thinking "I don't have two camera bodies or one of those lenses", don't worry. Canon has offered to supply any of my workshop attendees with loaner gear at no cost!!! All you have to do is let me know what gear you would like.
