Sample Program 2
Day 1 · International - Lima: Arrival in Lima, the capital that never fails to surprise. Depending on your arrival time, settle in and enjoy the city's world-class gastronomy.
Day 2 · Lima - Cusco - Sacred Valley: Early flight to Cusco and descent to the Sacred Valley — a smart strategy to acclimatize gradually among Andean landscapes and indigenous markets.
Day 3 · Sacred Valley: A day to explore the valley's highlights: the ruins of Pisac and Ollantaytambo, the circular terraces of Moray, and the salt mines of Maras. For those seeking more, we can include soft adventure activities such as hiking, horseback riding, cycling, or zipline.
Day 4 · Sacred Valley - Machu Picchu - Cusco: Train to Aguas Calientes and ascent to Machu Picchu, the lost citadel of the Incas and one of the most breathtaking wonders on the planet. Arrival in Cusco late afternoon or evening.
Day 5 · Cusco: A full day in Cusco: the Qorikancha, the Plaza de Armas, the neighborhoods of San Blas, and the imposing fortress of Sacsayhuamán, where the size of the stones remains a mystery without a satisfying answer.
Day 6 · Cusco - Lake Titicaca: Journey to Puno and first sight of Titicaca — the world's highest navigable lake, with waters so deeply blue they seem invented.
Day 7 · Lake Titicaca: Boat tour to the Uros Islands, built on floating totora reed, and to Taquile Island, where time seems to stand still and the textiles say more than words.
Day 8 · Lake Titicaca - Lima: Flight to Lima. Morning in the historic center: the Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral, the Convent of San Francisco with its catacombs, and the Larco Museum with its extraordinary pre-Columbian collection. The afternoon is free to explore Lima on your own.
Day 9 · Lima - International: Morning in modern Lima: Miraflores, Barranco, and San Isidro, with time for a final Peruvian meal before the transfer to the airport for your international departure.
