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.

Itinerary

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.

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

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

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.

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.
