Your Peruvian adventure begins in Lima, a city where colonial grace meets modern flair. After settling into your hotel in the artsy neighborhoods of Miraflores or Barranco, perhaps enjoy a sunset stroll along the Pacific cliffs before sharing a welcome dinner with your fellow travelers.

Fly high into the Andes and descend into the Sacred Valley, where emerald terraces and rushing rivers cradle ancient villages. Along the way, meet llamas and alpacas at a local weaving center or browse the vibrant Pisac Market. Tonight, you’ll rest in a valley lodge beneath the starlit mountains.

Discover the Sacred Valley’s treasures today: the fortress of Ollantaytambo, the mysterious circular terraces of Moray, and the dazzling white salt ponds of Maras. Each site tells a story of ingenuity and resilience, woven into the very fabric of the Andes.

Board the train to Aguas Calientes, where dramatic landscapes sweep past your window. This afternoon, ascend to legendary Machu Picchu. Walk among temples and terraces as your guide unveils the mysteries of this citadel in the clouds. As the sun sets, soak in the village atmosphere—or even its hot springs.

For those who choose, return at dawn to watch Machu Picchu glow in the morning light—an unforgettable moment. In the afternoon, travel back through the valley to Cusco, the Incan capital turned Spanish colonial jewel. Evening is for cocoa tea, cobbled streets, and quiet wonder.

Cusco’s history unfolds as you wander its plazas, markets, and cathedrals. Visit the mighty stone walls of Sacsayhuamán above the city and feel the heartbeat of the Andes in San Pedro Market. The evening brings modern Andean cuisine with breathtaking views.

Today offers adventure for the bold: an early journey into the high Andes to see rainbow-striped mountains sculpted by time. Choose Vinicunca’s iconic summit or the gentler trails of Palccoyo. Both reward with sweeping horizons that make the effort worthwhile.

Journey across the vast high plains of the Andes toward Lake Titicaca. Choose your path: the ultimate luxury of the Andean Explorer train, with fine dining and panoramic lounges, or a scenic overland route with cultural stops along the way. By nightfall, you’ll arrive at the shores of the world’s highest navigable lake.

Glide across the deep blue waters of Lake Titicaca to the Uros Floating Islands, where reeds form both homes and boats. Continue to Taquile Island, famed for its weaving traditions and spectacular vistas. Share a meal with locals or wander quiet trails, breathing in the lake’s timeless stillness.

Bid farewell to the highlands with a morning flight back to Lima. This afternoon, explore Barranco’s colorful streets, or visit the Museo Larco, where treasures of Peru’s pre-Columbian past await. The evening is yours for a final toast to the Andes.

With memories of ancient ruins, vibrant markets, and soaring peaks etched in your heart, depart Lima for your onward journey. The Andes will stay with you—mystical, eternal, and soul-stirring.
