Itinerary

Upon arrival at Jorge Chávez International Airport, a representative and private transport will be waiting to transfer you to your selected hotel.

Your guide will pick you up to explore Lima's Historic Centre, starting with Casa Aliaga, a colonial mansion with over 500 years of history and considered the oldest house in the Americas. Continue to Plaza Mayor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visit the impressive Lima Cathedral. End the day at the Larco Museum in the Pueblo Libre district, home to an extraordinary collection of pre-Columbian gold, silver, and erotic art spanning over 5,000 years of Peruvian history.

A private transfer takes you to the airport for your domestic flight to Cusco. Upon arrival, a representative will escort you to your hotel. Enjoy a guided tour of the enchanting former Inca capital, visiting the Santo Domingo Convent built over the ancient Coricancha temple, the Cathedral Basilica, the impressive fortress of Sacsayhuamán, and the archaeological complexes of Qenqo, Puca Pucará, and Tambomachay.

A shared transfer takes you to Ollantaytambo Station to board the Voyager train to Aguas Calientes. A 25-minute bus ride brings you to Machu Picchu — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, believed to have been built as a retreat for Emperor Pachacútec. A guided tour walks you through its most iconic landmarks. Enjoy a delicious fusion lunch at Café Inkaterra with stunning views of the Vilcanota River. Return to Cusco aboard the 360° train in the evening.

Enjoy a full free day to explore Cusco at your own pace. Wander through its cobblestone streets, browse local markets, visit artisan shops, or simply soak in the atmosphere of this magical Andean city.

Depart early from Cusco toward Cusipata, where you'll enjoy breakfast before heading to the starting point of the hike. Trek through breathtaking Andean scenery, passing the majestic Ausangate mountain — one of the most sacred peaks in Cusco — on your way to Vinicunca, the famous Rainbow Mountain, sitting at 5,200 meters above sea level. Its spectacular layers of color are the result of millions of years of mineral deposits, creating a natural work of art unlike anything else in the world. Stop at the viewpoint for photos and rest before making your way back down. Enjoy lunch in Cusipata before returning to your hotel in Cusco. (Note: This is a trekking excursion. Motorcycles and ATVs are strictly prohibited. Horses available only in emergencies.)

After breakfast at your hotel, a private transfer with a representative will take you to Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport in Cusco for your departure flight back to Lima.
