A Tailored Itinerary for Your Ultimate Peru Adventure
We have carefully created this itinerary to ensure you experience the very best of Peru’s beautifully restored historic monuments:
- Lima: Wander through the vibrant streets of the capital with its beautiful colonial monuments, its Plaza de Armas, its cathedrals and gold museum. Indulge in its world-famous cuisine, sip a Pisco sour over a delicious cebiche de pescado or a simple cebiche de corazon after exploring its unique artifact markets.
- Cusco: Step back in time as you explore the historic epicenter of the Inca Empire. You will stroll down cobblestone streets lined with ancient Inca stone walls, visit the majestic Plaza de Armas, marvel at colonial cathedrals built over ancient Inca palaces, and feel the mystical energy that makes this ancient capital in the sky so unforgettable.
- The Sacred Valley: Our guide through this worldfamous Andean valley packed with legendary Inca monuments. Explore the massive sun temple and colossal stone terraces of the Ollantaytambo fortress, marvel at the hypnotic circular agricultural terraces of Moray used by the Incas as a crop laboratory, and see the thousands of ancient, shimmering salt pans at Maras that are still harvested by hand today.
- Machu Picchu: Take the spectacular train-ride along the Urubamba River to Aguas Calientes village at the foot of Machu Picchu. Rise the winding road to get to one of the world’s most breathtaking views. The panorama of the terraces of the last Inca stronghold in the jungle at the foot of the Huchuy Picchu mountain will stay with you for the rest of your life.
- Vinicunca in Half a Day: Experience Peru's breathtaking Mountain of 7 Colors on a quick morning or afternoon trip from Cusco.
The Journey of a Lifetime, Fully Within Your Reach
We believe experiencing the magic of Peru shouldn’t be a luxury. That’s why we offer this spectacular tour at an affordable price. While you could organize it yourself, you couldn’t do it in such a short timeframe.
It’s no coincidence that this exact trip is the absolute favorite among Ecuadorians traveling on a budget. Galápagos visitors usually have limited time. If you are short on time, budget, or both, this is the perfect Peru tour for you.
