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
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 3
Your driver takes you from Cusco through the Sacred Valley to Ollantaytambo, where you board the panoramic train along the Urubamba River. Glass ceilings frame the snow-capped peaks as the landscape turns to cloud forest. Arrive in Aguas Calientes, at the foot of Machu Picchu, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon in this mountain town.
Day 4
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 5
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 6
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 7
Transfer from Puno to Juliaca airport for your morning flight to Lima, where you connect with your international flight home. End of services.
