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
Fly over the Andes to Cusco (approx. 3,400 m), the ancient capital of the Incas. Your driver takes you to your hotel, where the rest of the day is yours to rest and acclimatize. Take it easy, drink plenty of water and enjoy a first evening stroll to the Plaza de Armas as the city lights up.
Day 4
Stone by stone, Cusco reveals its secrets. Your private guide leads you from the Cathedral and the golden past of the Koricancha to the impressive zigzag walls of Sacsayhuamán, overlooking the red rooftops of the city. Continue to Qenqo, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay, three sacred sites that tell the story of Inca worship, defense and water engineering.
Day 5
An early departure takes you to the trailhead of Vinicunca, the Rainbow Mountain. Walk at your own pace through the high Andes as the colors of the land intensify with every step. At the viewpoint, more than 5,000 m above sea level, bands of red, gold and turquoise stretch across the mountainside. Horses are available for part of the way.
Day 6
Spend a full day in the Sacred Valley of the Incas with your private guide. Visit Chinchero, an Andean village famous for its weavers and colonial church, admire the valley views, and continue to Ollantaytambo, whose massive Inca temple fortress and stone streets are still in use today. Spend the night in a boutique hotel in the valley.
Day 7
Board a panoramic train in Ollantaytambo and follow the Urubamba River as the landscape turns from Andean fields to cloud forest, with glass ceilings framing the snow-capped peaks. Arrive in Aguas Calientes, at the foot of Machu Picchu, and spend a relaxed afternoon in this mountain town.
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
A day to slow down and let the altitude settle in. Explore Cusco at your own pace: sip a coca tea in a colonial courtyard, browse the boutiques and galleries of San Blas, visit the Cathedral or simply sit in the Plaza de Armas and watch daily life unfold between Inca walls and carved balconies. In the evening, enjoy a tasting menu at one of the city’s acclaimed restaurants.
Day 10
From the capital of the Incas to the shores of Lake Titicaca. Visit the golden interior of Andahuaylillas, the “Sistine Chapel of the Americas”, and the colossal Inca temple of Raqchi, then climb to La Raya Pass at over 4,300 m, where snow-capped peaks rise above herds of llamas and alpacas. After a stop at the Pucará museum, descend across the altiplano to Puno.
Day 11
Set sail on Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake. First stop: the Uros Floating Islands, woven entirely from totora reeds by families who still live on them today. Continue to Taquile Island, whose textile art is recognized by UNESCO and where the men are master knitters, for a walk along its stone paths and a lunch of fresh lake trout with views of the Bolivian Andes.
Day 12
Transfer from Puno to Juliaca airport for your morning flight to Lima, where you connect with your international flight home. End of services.

You fly straight from Lima to Cusco (approx. 3,400 m), so the first day there is planned at a gentle pace. Drink plenty of water, avoid heavy meals and alcohol on arrival, and try coca tea. If you have a medical condition, check with your doctor before you travel. Rainbow Mountain reaches more than 5,000 m and is optional; Lake Titicaca (approx. 3,830 m) comes at the end, once you are well acclimatized.
April to November, the dry season, brings sunny days in Cusco, Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca. December to March is greener and quieter, with afternoon rain.
The price depends on the hotel category you choose (Essential 2★, Comfort 3★, Superior 4★ or Deluxe 5★) and on the size of your party. For a truly deluxe trip we suggest Superior or Deluxe hotels. See the Rates tab for the current price per person in a double or twin room.
