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
Stone by stone, Cusco reveals its secrets. Your private guide leads you from the Cathedral and 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 5
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 6
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 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.
