DELUXE | PRIVATE-GUIDED: Peru is a country that captures the imagination. Why not splash out and enjoy a few extra comforts as you explore the land of the Incas? Stay in some of the country’s most luxurious hotels, and enjoy complimentary nights between taking in sights like Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley to experience the best of the region.
This 6-day luxury trip to Peru welcomes you with some of the country’s most luxurious stays (including some complimentary nights), and a ride aboard the scenic Vistadome train bound for Machu Picchu.
Your adventure starts in the oft-underestimated city of Lima. Embark on a city tour that takes you to the Plaza de Armas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, then visit the Monastery of San Francisco, home to the world’s largest network of catacombs outside of Paris. Finish with a visit to the Larco Herrera Museum and its famous pre-Columbian art collection, then enjoy dinner on Goway for a taste of Lima’s exceptional dining scene.
Transfer to Cusco the following day, with a tour to get you settled into the Inca capital. This includes nearby ruins including the Sacsayhuaman Fortress. The fusion between Inca and colonial culture remains a part of Cusco to this day. Depart for the Sacred Valley, visiting the Pisac Indian Markets and Ollantaytambo Fortress. See ‘the birthplace of the rainbow’ that is Chincheros, and the Pisac Ruins, known for their advanced irrigation system. The following day here is devoted Moray and the Maras Salt Pools, further evidence of the incredible agricultural techniques the Incas used.
The following day takes you to Peru’s biggest attraction, the awesome ruins of Machu Picchu. Travelling on the Vistadome train, you’ll get a good view of the surrounding mountains before finally coming upon the lost city of the Incas. Your guide will take you for a tour of the ruins to put things into perspective, and tell you about the many theories that shroud the once-hidden city.
Accommodations throughout the trip are of a 5-star standard, ensuring a luxurious place to rest your head as well as an awe-inspiring journey. Some also reveal their own stories, including The Palacio del Inka, a500 year-old mansion in the heart of Cusco that enchants with its vibrant colours and attention-to-detail service.
