Every day of your trip, with where you'll spend the night.
Day 1
Our representative 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
Two cities in one day. With your guide, walk through Lima’s UNESCO-listed historic center, from the grand Plaza Mayor and its Cathedral to the San Francisco Monastery, where centuries-old bones rest in silent geometry in the catacombs below. Then trade carved balconies for clifftop views as the tour ends in Miraflores, the city’s vibrant face on the Pacific.
Day 3
Ocean in the morning, desert in the afternoon. Travel south to Paracas and sail to the Ballestas Islands, the “Peruvian Galápagos”, passing the giant Candelabra geoglyph to see sea lions, Humboldt penguins and thousands of seabirds. Then trade sea spray for sand at the Huacachina Oasis, a lagoon framed by towering dunes, before continuing to Nazca.
Day 4
A morning in the sky, an afternoon on the road. Your light aircraft circles the giant figures of the Nazca desert, one of archaeology’s greatest unsolved puzzles. Then relax on the scenic journey through desert valleys and along coastal cliffs to Arequipa, Peru’s elegant “White City”.
Day 5
A well-earned pause between the desert and the Andes. Wander the colorful streets of the Santa Catalina Monastery, a city within the city, admire the volcanoes from the Yanahuara viewpoint, browse the San Camilo Market or simply rest and acclimatize before the Colca Valley.
Day 6
Cross the high plateau through the Salinas y Aguada Blanca reserve, where wild vicuñas graze, to the Patapampa viewpoint, 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.
Day 7
Wake up early, because the condors don’t wait. Follow the edge of the Colca Canyon, framed by pre-Inca terraces, to the famous Cruz del Cóndor, where these majestic birds, with wingspans of up to three meters, soar over the abyss. On the way back, visit the colonial churches and villages of Maca and Yanque.
Day 8
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, the folkloric capital of Peru, on the shores of Lake Titicaca.
Day 9
Set sail on the world’s highest navigable lake, 3,800 m above sea level. First stop: the Uros Floating Islands, woven entirely from totora reeds by families who still live on them today. Continue to Taquile Island to walk its stone paths, enjoy a lunch of fresh lake trout and take in sweeping views of the Bolivian Andes.
Day 10
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 walls of Raqchi and the golden interior of Andahuaylillas.
Day 11
A day to slow down and let the altitude settle in. Explore Cusco at your own rhythm: sip a coca tea in a hidden colonial courtyard, visit one of the city’s museums, or simply sit in the Plaza de Armas and watch daily life unfold between Inca walls and colonial balconies.
Day 12
Stone by stone, Cusco reveals its secrets. Your guide leads you from 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 13
A challenge for the legs, a gift for the eyes. Walk at your own pace through the Andean puna as the colors of the land intensify with every step. At the viewpoint, more than 5,000 m above sea level, the Rainbow Mountain unfolds in bands of red, gold and turquoise. Horses are available for those who prefer to ride part of the way.
Day 14
Today the ancient capital of the Incas is yours to discover. Wander the cobbled lanes of San Blas, the artisans’ quarter, find the Twelve-Angled Stone on Hatun Rumiyoc Street, or browse the colorful stalls of the San Pedro Market. In the evening, enjoy dinner overlooking the Plaza de Armas as the city lights up.
Day 15
Board a panoramic train through the Sacred Valley, following the Urubamba River as the landscape turns from Andean fields to cloud forest. Arrive in Aguas Calientes, at the foot of Machu Picchu, and spend a relaxed afternoon in this mountain town.
Day 16
Take an early bus up to Machu Picchu and discover the Inca citadel with your guide: its temples, terraces and the Intihuatana stone, set between towering green peaks. After the tour, return to Aguas Calientes and board the panoramic train back to Cusco.
Day 17
Fly from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado and transfer to the river port for a boat ride down the Madre de Dios River to Eco Amazonia Lodge. After a welcome drink and lunch, take a short walk through the forest and visit Monkey Island, a protected island where rescued monkeys live in semi-freedom. In the evening, set out by boat to spot caimans along the riverbank.
Day 18
Early breakfast and excursion to Lake Sandoval, inside the Tambopata National Reserve. Walk through the forest, then paddle a canoe across the lake surrounded by aguaje palms, looking for giant river otters, hoatzins, macaws and turtles. In the afternoon, climb the lodge’s lookout tower for sweeping views over the canopy at sunset, followed by an optional night walk.
Day 19
Early-morning bird watching around the lodge, when the forest is at its most active. After breakfast, return by boat to Puerto Maldonado and transfer to the airport for your flight back to Lima, where your driver takes you to your hotel.
Day 20
A free day to enjoy Lima at your own pace before heading home. Walk along the clifftop malecón from Miraflores to Barranco, with paragliders gliding overhead, cross the romantic Bridge of Sighs, explore Barranco’s colorful streets and murals, and stay to watch the sunset over the Pacific, the perfect farewell to Peru.
Day 21
Enjoy a final morning in Lima: visit the Larco Museum and its pre-Columbian treasures or join a cooking class to learn the secrets of ceviche and pisco sour. At the agreed time, a transfer takes you to the airport for your international flight home. End of services.
