Every day of your trip, with where you'll spend the night.
Day 1
Look for your name in the arrivals hall: from that moment on, your journey is in local hands. A private transfer takes you along the coast to your hotel, where the afternoon is yours to explore the cliffs, the ocean breeze and the city’s first flavors.
Day 2
Two cities in one day. Walk where viceroys once ruled a continent: our guide leads you 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. Leave Lima at 4:00 am aboard a Cruz del Sur double-decker bus and wake up to the Pacific at Paracas. Sail to the Ballestas Islands, the “Peruvian Galápagos”, then trade sea spray for sand at the Huacachina Oasis, where a dune buggy launches you over some of the highest dunes in South America. Your journey ends in Nazca, land of mysterious lines.
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 aboard a double-decker bus for the approx. 565 km, 9–10 hour journey through desert valleys and coastal cliffs to Arequipa, Peru’s elegant southern gem.
Day 5
A well-earned pause between the desert and the Andes. Spend the day discovering Arequipa as you wish: visit the Santa Catalina Monastery, admire the volcanoes from the Yanahuara viewpoint, browse the San Camilo Market or simply rest and acclimatize before the adventure continues in the Colca Valley.
Day 6
Today the landscape changes completely. Beyond the volcanoes of Arequipa lies the Colca Valley, where communities still farm the terraces carved by their ancestors and women wear embroidered hats that tell which village they come from. After a scenic drive over the high plateau, settle into Chivay and soak in its thermal waters as the sun sets over the Andes.
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. After this unforgettable encounter, return to Chivay for a well-deserved dip in the natural hot springs.
Day 8
A spectacular journey of approximately 300 km (about 6 hours) through some of the most remote landscapes in Peru. With stops along the way, 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 the world’s highest navigable lake.
Day 9
Set sail on the world’s highest navigable lake, 3,800 m above sea level, where the water is so blue it seems to merge with the sky. 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 before returning to Puno.
Day 10
From the shores of Titicaca to the capital of the Incas. Cross the highest point of the route at La Raya Pass, where snow-capped peaks rise above herds of llamas and alpacas, then descend into green Andean valleys dotted with adobe villages. Along the way, discover the monoliths of Pucará, the colossal walls of Raqchi and the golden interior of Andahuaylillas before reaching Cusco.
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 courtyard, visit one of the city’s museums, or simply sit on a bench 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. Our 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, breathing the thin mountain air as the colors of the land intensify with every step. At the summit, more than 5,000 m above sea level, the Rainbow Mountain unfolds in front of you, a moment you will never forget. 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 famous 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
Leave Cusco before dawn and watch the Andes awaken as you drive to Mollepata for breakfast. Walk through high valleys to Soraypampa (approx. 3,900 m), where the glaciers of Salkantay rise above the campsite. In the afternoon, hike to Humantay Lake, a turquoise mirror at the foot of a hanging glacier, one of the most beautiful sights in the Cusco region.
Day 16
A day between ice and clouds. Follow the zigzag trail to the Salkantay Pass, at approx. 4,600 m, surrounded by glaciers, moraines and snow-capped summits, with the 6,271 m peak of Salkantay towering in front of you. Then descend more than 1,500 m as the barren high mountains give way to the first trees of the cloud forest.
Day 17
Enter a completely different world. Follow the Santa Teresa River through the cloud forest, where waterfalls, orchids and bromeliads line the path, past banana, avocado and coffee plantations. Continue to the warm valley of Santa Teresa and end the day in the Cocalmayo Hot Springs, surrounded by green mountains.
Day 18
From the Hydroelectric Station, walk about 11 km (approx. 2.5–3 hours) along the railway beside the roaring Urubamba River, surrounded by jungle and waterfalls. Keep looking up: the terraces of Machu Picchu appear high above the trail before you reach Aguas Calientes, the town at the foot of the citadel.
Day 19
An early bus winds up the mountain from Aguas Calientes, and suddenly Machu Picchu appears before you: stone temples and terraces perched on a ridge between towering green peaks, with the Urubamba River roaring far below. As the morning mist lifts from Huayna Picchu, your guide leads you through the citadel, revealing the Main Plaza, the Temple of the Sun and the Intihuatana stone, all framed by one of the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth. After the tour, return by bus to Aguas Calientes and board the panoramic train back to Cusco.
Day 20
No schedule today, just Cusco at your own pace. Sip a locally grown coffee or a warm coca tea in a colonial courtyard, try a chocolate workshop, or join the locals on the benches of the Plaza de Armas. In the evening, discover the city’s creative cuisine, where Andean ingredients meet modern flavors.
Day 21
Into the Amazon: Madre de Dios River & Monkey Island
Arrival in 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 22
Lake Sandoval & Canopy Views
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 23
Farewell to the Rainforest
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.
Day 24
A free day to enjoy Lima at your own pace before heading home. Walk along the clifftop malecón from Miraflores to Barranco, with the Pacific Ocean stretching to the horizon and paragliders gliding overhead. Cross the romantic Bridge of Sighs, explore Barranco’s colorful streets and murals, and stay to watch the sunset over the ocean, the perfect farewell to Peru.
Day 25
Make the most of your last day in Peru. Explore the Surquillo Market, where locals shop for exotic fruits you have never seen before, join a cooking class to learn the secrets of ceviche and pisco sour, or visit the Larco Museum, home to one of the finest collections of pre-Columbian art in the Americas. At the agreed time, a private transfer takes you to the airport for your international flight home.
