Every day of your trip, with where you'll spend the night.
Day 1
Your private driver welcomes you in the arrivals hall and escorts you along the coast to your hotel in Miraflores. The rest of the day is yours: stroll the clifftop malecón, watch paragliders drift over the Pacific and enjoy a first taste of the cuisine that has made Lima one of the great food capitals of the world.
Day 2
In the morning, your private guide leads you through Lima’s UNESCO-listed historic center: the Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral and the San Francisco Monastery, whose baroque cloisters and underground catacombs hold centuries of history. The afternoon is at leisure to explore Miraflores and bohemian Barranco or enjoy lunch at one of the acclaimed restaurants that have made Lima a world capital of gastronomy.
Day 3
A short flight takes you south to Arequipa, the elegant “White City” built of volcanic sillar stone beneath El Misti. At approx. 2,335 m, it is the perfect first step to adjust to the altitude. Spend a relaxed afternoon around the Plaza de Armas, visit the colorful Santa Catalina Monastery and enjoy dinner at one of Arequipa’s traditional picanterías.
Day 4
Cross the high plateau through the Salinas y Aguada Blanca reserve, where wild vicuñas graze, to the Patapampa viewpoint (approx. 4,900 m), surrounded by volcanoes. Descend into the Colca Valley, where communities still farm the terraces carved by their ancestors, and end the day soaking in natural hot springs as the sun sets over the Andes.
Day 5
Rise early for the drive along the rim of the Colca Canyon, one of the deepest on Earth, to the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint, where Andean condors glide on the morning thermals just meters above you. On the way back, stop at the colonial villages of Maca and Yanque, then cross the high Andean plateau back to Arequipa for a relaxed evening.
Day 6
A short morning flight takes you from Arequipa to Cusco (approx. 3,400 m), the ancient capital of the Incas. After time to rest at your hotel, your private guide leads you through the Cathedral and the Koricancha, the Inca Temple of the Sun, then up to the zigzag walls of Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay.
Day 7
Descend into the Sacred Valley of the Incas with your private guide, following the Urubamba River past patchwork fields and Andean villages. Visit the market and terraces of Pisac and the living Inca town of Ollantaytambo, beneath its imposing temple fortress. In the late afternoon, board the panoramic train, with glass ceilings framing the mountains, to Aguas Calientes at the foot of Machu Picchu.
Day 8
Take an early bus up to Machu Picchu and discover the Inca citadel with your private guide: the Main Plaza, the Temple of the Sun and the Intihuatana stone, set between towering green peaks above the Urubamba River. After the tour, return to Aguas Calientes and board the panoramic train back to Cusco.
Day 9
Transfer to Cusco airport for your morning flight back to Lima. The rest of the day is yours: walk the clifftop malecón of Miraflores, explore the galleries and murals of bohemian Barranco or celebrate the end of your journey with a farewell dinner at one of Lima’s award-winning restaurants.
Day 10
Enjoy a final morning in Lima: visit the Larco Museum and its pre-Columbian treasures or stroll through bohemian Barranco. At the agreed time, a private transfer takes you to the airport for your international flight home. End of services.

Founded in 1579, Santa Catalina is a city within the city: a maze of colorful streets, cloisters and cells where nuns lived in seclusion for centuries. It is one of the most beautiful colonial sites in the Americas.
April to November is the dry season in Colca, Cusco and Machu Picchu, and Arequipa is sunny almost all year.
Arequipa (approx. 2,335 m) and the Colca Valley prepare your body for the Andes before you fly to Cusco (approx. 3,400 m). After Cusco you descend to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, both lower.
