Peru Travel Podcast follows one resident's slow route through a country where the western coastal plain, the Andean sierra and the Amazon Basin sit within a few hours of one another. That variety is the basis of every journey: dry desert, high cold mountains and tropical lowland forests.
The host ranges from Lima, the capital on the desert coast, to Arequipa in the southern sierra, and on to the Amazonian lowlands beyond Cusco. He also spends time in Trujillo, on the north coast, where the climate and history differ sharply from the highlands.
The show unfolds in slow arcs across the calendar. Seasons change as the host stays in one place long enough to know its markets and fiestas, then moves somewhere connected to it. Returning to earlier places later builds a layered picture of Peru over time.
Diego Quispe lives in Peru and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Diego is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement.
A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers.
