Day 1 – Welcome to Peru!

In the evening, the adventure begins! Meet your group for a casual welcome gathering on the rooftop terrace to meet our guide, go over the adventure ahead, and share our first Pisco Sour together – Salud!

Day 2 – Lima Flavours & Traditions Tour

Kick off your journey with a guided food and culture walking tour that dives deep into Lima’s local life. Start your morning with a fresh Peruvian coffee at a local café before hopping on the Metropolitano bus to the Historic Centre. Visit the bustling Mercado Central for a taste of tropical fruits and lucuma smoothies, wander through Chinatown’s colourful streets to sample chifa bites, and stop for local favourites like papita con huevo and anticuchos.

End your morning with churros near San Francisco Church and a classic Pisco Sour at the iconic Cordano Tavern. The afternoon is free to explore Miraflores or Barranco’s bohemian side at your own pace.

Day 3 – Lima to Paracas, Ballestas Islands & Desert Drive to Huacachina

Your coastal adventure begins! Depart Lima early aboard a luxury bus with semi-bed seats and an onboard host. After a scenic journey south, arrive in Paracas and board a speedboat for the Ballestas Islands, known as Peru’s “mini-Galápagos.”

Watch playful sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and thousands of seabirds up close. Back on shore, continue your adventure through the Paracas National Reserve, a striking desert landscape where red sand beaches meet turquoise ocean. After exploring, drive inland to Ica and then on to Huacachina, a natural oasis surrounded by massive sand dunes — a true desert paradise.

Day 4 – Huacachina: Dune Buggy & Sandboarding Experience

Enjoy a relaxed morning by the pool or exploring the small oasis village. In the afternoon, it’s time for adrenaline! Board your dune buggy for a high-speed ride over Peru’s rolling golden dunes. Try sandboarding down the slopes — either standing up or belly-first — and feel the rush of the desert wind. End your day watching the sun set from the top of a dune, the sky turning brilliant shades of orange and pink before returning for a lively evening in the oasis.

Day 5 – Huacachina to Ica, Pisco Tour & Flight to Cusco

Say goodbye to the desert and head toward Ica for a guided visit to a traditional Pisco vineyard. Learn about Peru’s national spirit — from grape harvest to distillation — and enjoy a tasting of different varieties. Afterwards, board your coach for the journey back to Lima Airport. Catch your evening flight to Cusco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire. Upon arrival, a private transfer will take you to your hostel. The night is yours to rest and acclimatise to the altitude.

Day 6 – The Unique Cusco Tour: Inca Trail, Alpacas & Ruins

Today, discover the heart of Cusco on a full-day guided experience combining history, culture, and local life. Begin at the bustling San Pedro Market, where locals buy everything from fresh fruit to textiles. Then walk a section of the restored Inca Ritual Trail that once connected Qorikancha to the Sacsayhuamán hills. Visit the majestic Sacsayhuamán Fortress, one of the Inca Empire’s most impressive sites. Continue to the Wayllarcocha Community for a traditional Andean lunch and a visit to the “Manos de la Comunidad” textile centre to watch master weavers at work and meet friendly alpacas and llamas. End the day with stunning panoramic views from Cristo Blanco and San Cristóbal.

Day 7 – Salkantay Trek – Day 1: Glacial Lagoons & Starry Domes

Your 3-day trek begins before sunrise with a scenic drive from Cusco to Rimactampu for breakfast. Continue to the starting point at Qoyllor, surrounded by snow-dusted mountains. Begin your hike to the Incachiriasqa Lagoon, where the turquoise waters sit beneath the imposing Salkantay peak. Trek along ancient paths and soak up panoramic Andean views before descending to Soraypampa. Tonight, sleep in comfortable geodesic domes beneath a canopy of stars.

Day 8 | Salkantay Trek – Day 2: Humantay Lake & Aguas Calientes

Wake early for a short hike to the spectacular Humantay Lake, a glowing turquoise gem at the foot of a glacier. After soaking in the views, descend and drive through scenic valleys to Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley. Enjoy dinner together before boarding the train to Aguas Calientes, the gateway to Machu Picchu. Rest well — tomorrow is the big day!

Day 9 – Machu Picchu Guided Tour & Return to Cusco

Rise before dawn and catch the early bus to Machu Picchu. Watch the sunrise illuminate the ancient citadel and take a guided tour through temples, terraces, and hidden corners of the Lost City. After exploring, descend to Aguas Calientes for lunch before boarding the scenic train back to Ollantaytambo. A private transfer will take you to Cusco for a well-earned rest.

Day 10 – Rainbow Mountain Trek

Another adventure awaits! Depart early for a full-day guided excursion to Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca). Enjoy breakfast en route before beginning your hike through striking red and gold valleys dotted with llamas. The moderate 2-hour climb leads to the summit at 5,020 metres, where the striped mineral colours of the mountain stretch before you. Capture incredible photos and soak in the high Andean views before descending for lunch and returning to Cusco in the late afternoon.

Day 11 – Departure from Cusco

Enjoy a relaxed morning in Cusco before your private transfer to the airport for your international flight or next destination. Say goodbye to new friends and an unforgettable journey through Peru’s most inspiring landscapes.
