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
Wake up early, because the condors don’t wait. Follow the edge of the Colca Canyon, one of the deepest in the world, to the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint, where Andean condors with wingspans of up to three meters ride the morning thermals. On the way back, visit the colonial churches and villages of Maca and Yanque.
Day 6
A spectacular journey of approximately 300 km across the altiplano. Admire volcanic peaks, high-altitude lagoons and herds of llamas and alpacas grazing on the puna, before arriving in Puno (approx. 3,830 m), the folkloric capital of Peru, on the shores of Lake Titicaca.
Day 7
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 8
From the shores of Titicaca to the capital of the Incas. Cross La Raya Pass at over 4,300 m, where snow-capped peaks rise above herds of llamas and alpacas, then descend into green Andean valleys. Along the way, discover the monoliths of Pucará, the colossal Inca temple of Raqchi and the golden interior of Andahuaylillas, the “Sistine Chapel of the Americas”.
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
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 11
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 12
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 13
Transfer to Cusco airport for your morning flight to Lima, where you connect with your international flight home. End of services.

Yes. Organized transfers, panoramic trains and guided visits keep every day comfortable. The route climbs gradually from Arequipa, includes a free day in Cusco, and Rainbow Mountain is optional.
Starting in Arequipa (approx. 2,335 m) lets your body adapt step by step before the Colca Valley, Lake Titicaca and Cusco. It is the most comfortable way to reach the high Andes and makes Rainbow Mountain and Machu Picchu far more enjoyable.
April to November, the dry season, brings sunny days in Arequipa, the Colca Canyon, Lake Titicaca, Cusco and Machu Picchu. From December to March the Andes turn green, with afternoon rain.
This route climbs gradually: Arequipa (approx. 2,335 m) and the Colca Valley come first, then Puno on Lake Titicaca (approx. 3,830 m) and finally Cusco (approx. 3,400 m). Rest on arrival, drink plenty of water, try coca tea and keep the first evening at each altitude light. If you have a medical condition, ask your doctor before you travel.
