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
Travel south along the Pan-American Highway through the coastal desert to Nazca. On the way, stop at the metal observation tower beside the road, which offers a first glimpse of the Hands and the Tree geoglyphs. Check in to your hotel and spend the rest of the day at leisure, perhaps visiting the Chauchilla Cemetery or the Cantalloc aqueducts.
Day 3
Take off in the morning on a light aircraft over the desert to see the hummingbird, the monkey, the spider and the other giant figures of the Nazca Lines, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then return north by bus along the Pacific coast to Lima, arriving in the evening at your hotel in Miraflores.
Day 4
Fly south to Arequipa, the elegant “White City” built of volcanic sillar stone beneath El Misti volcano. At approx. 2,335 m, it is the ideal place to adjust gently to the altitude. Spend the afternoon at leisure: visit the Santa Catalina Monastery, a colorful city within the city, stroll the arcades of the Plaza de Armas and enjoy a dinner of local specialties.
Day 5
Set off before dawn from Arequipa across the Salinas y Aguada Blanca National Reserve, where vicuñas graze beneath snow-capped volcanoes, and cross a high pass to the Colca Valley. Reach the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint in the morning, when Andean condors glide on the rising thermals, then admire the pre-Inca terraces and the colonial churches of Maca and Yanque before returning to Arequipa in the evening.
Day 6
A short morning flight takes you from Arequipa to Cusco (approx. 3,400 m), the ancient capital of the Incas. After time to rest at your hotel, your private guide leads you through the Cathedral and the Koricancha, the Inca Temple of the Sun, then up to the zigzag walls of Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay.
Day 7
Descend into the Sacred Valley of the Incas with your private guide, following the Urubamba River past patchwork fields and Andean villages. Visit the market and terraces of Pisac and the living Inca town of Ollantaytambo, beneath its imposing temple fortress. In the late afternoon, board the panoramic train, with glass ceilings framing the mountains, to Aguas Calientes at the foot of Machu Picchu.
Day 8
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 9
Transfer to Cusco airport for your morning flight to Lima, where you connect with your international flight home. End of services.

The flight lasts about 30–35 minutes and passes over more than a dozen figures, including the hummingbird, the monkey, the spider and the astronaut. Flights leave in the morning, when the air is calmer, and depend on the weather.
Arequipa (approx. 2,335 m) and the Colca Valley (approx. 3,600 m) prepare you gradually for the Andes before you fly to Cusco (approx. 3,400 m). The road to Colca crosses a pass above 4,800 m, so take it easy, drink coca tea and plenty of water, and consult your doctor before you travel if you have a medical condition.
It is a long but rewarding day of about 14–15 hours, starting around 3 am to reach Cruz del Cóndor when the condors are most active. The road crosses a pass above 4,800 m, so drink plenty of water and coca tea; for a more relaxed pace, we can turn it into a 2-day tour with a night in the Colca Valley.
