What makes this trip

Classic Peru Tour

Peru's greatest hits in six unhurried days, entirely private. Begin in Lima, where colonial plazas, the catacombs of Santo Domingo, and clifftop Pacific views set the scene. Then climb into the Andes to Cusco, the old Inca capital, where the golden Temple of the Sun sits beneath Spanish stone and mighty Sacsayhuamán, Q'enco, Puca Pucara, and Tambomachay wait just beyond the city. Wander the Sacred Valley — the markets of Pisac, a buffet lunch in Urubamba, the towering terraces of Ollantaytambo — before the train carries you to Machu Picchu, a Wonder of the World that somehow still exceeds every expectation. With private guides and transfers throughout, handpicked hotels, train and bus tickets, and round-the-clock assistance, all you have to do is arrive.

Day by day

Itinerary

6 Days / 5 Nights

  1. Welcome to Peru! Our team will meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to rest or explore, if time allows.
    Overnight in Lima.

  2. After breakfast, discover Lima on a panoramic city tour. Begin with views of the ancient Huaca Pucllana and the city's leafy residential quarters, then head into the historic centre: the Plaza Mayor, the Government Palace, the Cathedral Basilica, the Archbishop's Palace, and the Municipality. Step inside the Convent of Santo Domingo to see its colonial cloisters and catacombs, before finishing at the Park of Love, with the Pacific and the beaches of Miraflores spread out below.
    Overnight in Lima.

    Meals: Breakfast

  3. After breakfast, we'll transfer you to the airport for your flight to Cusco, where our team will greet you. Around midday, explore the colonial city built atop Inca palaces: the Main Square, the golden Temple of the Sun (Qoricancha), and the Cathedral with its remarkable paintings and sculptures. Continue to mighty Sacsayhuamán—fortress, temple, and observatory in one—then Q'enco, shrine to fire; Puca Pucara, the Inca checkpoint; and Tambomachay, sanctuary of water and fertility.
    Overnight in Cusco.

    Meals: Breakfast

  4. An early start into the Sacred Valley. Wander the narrow streets and famous handicraft market of Pisac, enjoy a delicious buffet lunch in Urubamba, then discover Ollantaytambo—a living Inca town of ancient canals and foundations, crowned by a spectacular complex of terraces, fortresses, plazas, and the megalithic Sun Royal House.
    Overnight in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

    Meals: Breakfast & Lunch

  5. The moment you've been waiting for. Board the train to Aguas Calientes, then wind up by bus to Machu Picchu—a Wonder of the World and UNESCO World Heritage Site. A two-hour guided tour reveals temples, plazas, terraces, homes, and storehouses, all cradled by an extraordinary mountain landscape and a 32,500-hectare reserve teeming with life. Afterwards, descend to Aguas Calientes for lunch before the train carries you back to Cusco.
    Overnight in Cusco.

    Meals: Breakfast & Lunch

  6. After breakfast, we'll transfer you at the set time to continue your journey. End of our services—until next time!

Important information

- The itineraries are planned with great care, although, for operational reasons, it may be necessary to change the sequence of activities in the itinerary or the specified route, and though such cases are exceptional, in general, the itinerary should be treated only as a basic guideline.

Important information on the new entrance regulations for Machu Picchu

- The current restrictions on visits to Machu Picchu establish that the first entry must be accompanied by a tour guide with a maximum stay of 4 hours within the archaeological center (guided tours last approximately 2 hours).

- If visitors are going to take an alternative route (Machu Picchu or Huayna Picchu mountains), they will have 3 additional hours to make those visits.

- If any passenger wishes to enter again in the afternoon shift or the next day, they must request in advance an additional ticket to enter during the new shift. There is no ticket sales office at the door of the archeological zone.

- Likewise, it is necessary to provide the updated personal details (full name, date of birth, nationality, and passport number or identity document) of all passengers who come to Peru, the same must match the identity document that the passengers use for this trip. This information is especially important for visits to places such as the Inca Trail or the Sacred City of Machu Picchu (including Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain), where local authorities require the presentation of updated and original documentation at the entrance gates.
