Peruvian Wonders – Lima, Cuzco, the Sacred Valley & Machu

7 Days 8 Nights

Peru is one of those destinations that truly feels like an adventure!

Get ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime in Peru with Wendy Fracchia & Carlos Fida!

And then there is Machu Picchu! Rather than making this incredible UNESCO World Heritage Site a quick day trip, we've designed our tour to give us two opportunities to enter and explore the legendary citadel, with an overnight nearby. Getting there is part of the adventure as we travel by train through the Andes into one of the most spectacular settings in South America. This is a wonderful introduction to Peru—active, cultural, scenic and filled with those experiences you simply can't have from home.

    Wednesday, April 22, 2027 - Welcome to Peru! | Lima

    Welcome to Peru! Upon arrival in Lima, we'll transfer into the city and begin getting acquainted with Peru's fascinating capital.

    This afternoon we'll head out for a city tour, where we'll get our first look at Lima's history, architecture and culture. It's a great introduction to the country and the beginning of the story we'll follow from Peru's coastal capital all the way into the ancient heartland of the Incas.

    Thursday, April 23, 2027 - Into the Andes | Lima to Cuzco

    This morning we'll fly from Lima high into the Andes to Cuzco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire and our gateway to some of Peru's greatest treasures.

    After arriving and getting settled, we'll head out for an afternoon city tour. Cuzco is fascinating because its history is visible everywhere—from ancient Inca stonework to the Spanish colonial architecture built around and sometimes directly upon it. We'll begin learning the stories behind this remarkable city while also giving ourselves time to adjust to the higher elevation.

    Friday, April 24, 2027 - Discover the Sacred Valley of the Incas

    Today we'll leave Cuzco behind and travel into the beautiful Sacred Valley of the Incas for a full day of exploration.

    Surrounded by soaring Andean peaks, traditional communities and dramatic scenery, the valley played an important role in Inca life and culture. As we travel through the region, we'll gain a greater appreciation for how the geography, agriculture and traditions of the Andes helped shape this remarkable civilization.

    Tonight we'll overnight right in the Sacred Valley, putting us in the perfect position for tomorrow's journey to Machu Picchu!

    Saturday, April 25, 2027 - The Journey to Machu Picchu!

    Today is one of those days we've been waiting for! We'll travel by bus and train through spectacular mountain scenery as we make our way toward legendary Machu Picchu. The journey itself is part of the experience as the landscape changes around us and we travel deeper into the Andes.

    Upon arrival, we'll enter the famous citadel and begin exploring this extraordinary Inca site. Surrounded by steep green mountains and dramatic valleys, it's difficult to describe that first moment when you finally see Machu Picchu with your own eyes.

    And we're not going to rush it! We'll overnight nearby because tomorrow we get to go back and experience it again.

    Sunday, April 26, 2027 - Machu Picchu – Take Two!

    One visit just isn't enough! This morning we'll return to the citadel for a second opportunity to experience Machu Picchu. Having another visit gives us more time to take in the setting, appreciate the remarkable stonework and simply enjoy being in one of the world's most unforgettable places.

    After our visit, we'll descend by bus and board the train for our journey back toward Cuzco. Sit back and enjoy the scenery—we'll have plenty to talk about after two incredible days at Machu Picchu!

    Monday, April 27, 2027 - Cuzco to Lima – Or Continue the Adventure!

    After our adventures through the Andes, we'll fly from Cuzco back to Lima today for our final day in Peru. For those ending their journey here, we'll prepare for our overnight flight home with some pretty amazing memories of Lima, Cuzco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.

    But for those who aren't ready to go home just yet—the adventure continues! Our Peru + Galápagos travelers will connect through Lima and continue to Quito, Ecuador, beginning the next chapter of our South American journey.

    Tuesday, April 28, 2027 - Welcome Home!

    Shortly after midnight (Monday night), our Peru-only travelers will depart Lima for the journey home and return today with photographs and souvenirs, of course, but hopefully something more—a greater appreciation for the people and culture of Peru, a better understanding of the extraordinary Inca civilization, and the memory of standing high in the Andes looking out over Machu Picchu.

    Or, Wait…Don't Go Home Yet!

    Combine Peru with our Ecuador & Galápagos Islands Adventure and trade ancient Inca cities for giant tortoises, volcanic landscapes, snorkeling, island hopping and the remarkable wildlife of the Galápagos. From Machu Picchu to the Galápagos—now THAT is a South American adventure!
