With the difficulty as "time trial," you have to complete the levels: Mountain Caves, City of Vilacabamba, The Lost Valley, and Tomb of Qualopec to unlock this achievement.

While playing, you can save time by:

-Using the golden shotgun cheat that you unlock after completing the Lost Island time trials. The shotgun will kill all enemies with only one shot.

-In Mountain Caves, when you get to the first tunnel that has the dart traps, don't worry about turning off the switches on the wall. You won't lose much health by just running through.

-In The Lost Valley, after getting the first cog, go up the ledges towards the waterfall. You will be on the left side of the waterfall. Now just follow the stream to find the second cog.

Also, after you place all of the cogs in the wooden thing, simply jump into the pool at the bottom of the waterfall, don't worry about climbing down each ledge.

Below are great videos by gunj17 to help you complete the Peruvian time trials.

Time trials are just the normal levels of the game, however when you play them you are given a certain amount of time in which you need to complete the level.

To unlock all the time trials you simply need to beat the game. To play them go to 'replay level' from the main menu, then when the 'replay settings' box appears change the difficulty to 'Time Trial'.

Each difficulty of the time trials varies. That is because some levels are harder to complete than others due to more enemies, a bigger sized level, more difficulty puzzles or less time given to complete it. Simply finish all of the time trials within the specific chapters to unlock the trophy relating to that chapter.

VERY USEFUL TIP:

If you complete all of 'The Lost Island' time trials first you can unlock 2 weapons that will increase your chances of completing all the other time trials. The guns are:

- Golden Shotgun: Using this gives you one-shot kills. It also contains unlimited ammo
- Silver Mini SMGs: Using these gives you unlimited ammo

These are cheats and can be turned on in the cheats menu of the game. Make sure you do that before going for your next time trials.

OTHER TIPS:

- Pressing and then straight away performs a swan dive. Using this helps you to cover a lot more distance much more quickly
- The cutscenes DO NOT count in the time, so watch them if you wish
- Pausing the game stops the counter
- Try not to die or make any mistakes. The time given should still be enough if you do in fact happen to die or make mistakes. But avoiding these where possible will greatly increase your chances of completing the level within the given time frame
- Don't go for ammo, medipacks or artifacts/relics. Collecting these will lose you a lot of time as you will have to go out of your way to get them.

NOTE: Unfortunately the quality of the videos isn't too great, but each level is catered for. Just watch closely and you should do fine. Open up the spoilers to see the videos.

See below for each level in this chapter. The Target time is given along with a video to help you reach it:
