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
Explore Lima with your private guide, starting in the historic center with the Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral and the San Francisco Monastery and its catacombs. Continue to the clifftop districts of Miraflores and Barranco, with ocean views from the Love Park and the colorful streets of Lima’s bohemian quarter, then enjoy the afternoon at leisure.
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
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 5
A VIP day in the Sacred Valley with your private guide and driver. Leave Cusco across the high plains of Chinchero to Moray, where the Incas carved circular terraces into the earth as an agricultural laboratory, then visit the Maras salt mines, thousands of shimmering salt pans worked since pre-Inca times. Enjoy a gourmet lunch at a countryside estate and spend the night in a luxury hotel in the valley, near Ollantaytambo.
Day 6
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 7
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 8
Transfer to Cusco airport for your morning flight to Lima, where you connect with your international flight home. End of services.

It includes 7 nights in your chosen hotel category with breakfast, private transfers, a guided Lima tour, a Rainbow Mountain excursion, a VIP Sacred Valley day at Maras and Moray with gourmet lunch, panoramic trains and a private guided visit to Machu Picchu.
Yes. Salt pans, giant circular terraces, alpacas and the train to Machu Picchu fascinate kids; Rainbow Mountain suits older, active children. Family and connecting rooms can be requested in most hotel categories.
Thousands of small salt pans cascade down the hillside, fed by a salty spring that has been used since pre-Inca times. Local families still harvest the salt by hand, and the pink salt of Maras is prized by chefs around the world.
April to November is the dry season; the Maras salt pans look their best from May to October.
Rainbow Mountain (over 5,000 m) comes the day after you arrive in Cusco (approx. 3,400 m), which is demanding for the body. We recommend adding an extra night in Cusco first, or replacing the hike with a gentle day in the Sacred Valley. Drink plenty of water, rest well and consult your doctor before you travel if you have a medical condition.
Your price depends on the hotel category (Essential 2★, Comfort 3★, Superior 4★ or Deluxe 5★) and the number of travelers. See the Rates tab for current prices per person in a double or twin room.
