Condor Travel receives cruise ship “Black Watch” in Callao: The British cruise ship “Black Watch” from the Fred Olsen Cruise Line arrived at the port of Callao last Saturday, January 26, bringing 850 passengers who visited various destinations in our country.

Passengers of the Black Watch visited the Amazon jungle of Iquitos, the cities of Trujillo and Chiclayo, and Cuzco and Machu Picchu, while in Lima they enjoyed various tours, including the historic city center and the Larco Museum, among other attractions.

It should be mentioned that the port of Callao became the center of operations to embark and disembark passengers who arrived from and departed for England in a charter flight. Thus Condor Travel has established itself as the most important cruise ship operator in the country.
