From the Pacific coast of Lima to the soaring peaks of the Andes, this adventure traces the path of the Inca civilization through Peru’s most spectacular landscapes. Explore the Sacred Valley’s agricultural terraces and living traditions, hike the legendary Inca Trail into Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate, wander the stone streets of Cusco, and stand among the surreal mineral-striped slopes of Rainbow Mountain. Along the way you will experience world-class cuisine, ancient archaeology, high-altitude trekking, and luxury accommodations in one unforgettable journey.

Upon arrival at Jorge Chávez International Airport, you will be welcomed by a private host and transferred to your hotel in the coastal Miraflores district. Depending on arrival time, enjoy a guided introduction to Peru’s capital.

Fly to Cusco, then descend into the fertile Sacred Valley for gradual acclimatization.
