What's this trip about?

    This sample tour encapsulates the best of Peru. Over the course of nine days, you will immerse yourself in all things Peruvian, experiencing the rich history, mouth-watering cuisine, and multi-layered culture, as well as witnessing the soul-stirring landscapes and landmarks of the Andes Mountains. The luxury kicks off in Lima, the gastronomic capital of the Americas. From there, you’ll journey via Cusco into the Sacred Valley, a serene and wonderfully slow-paced region that’s studded with Inca ruins, time-worn towns, and authentic markets. It’s here where you’ll get your first taste of the local warmth and hospitality. Next, you’ll travel in style by luxury train up to Peru’s superstar attraction: the famed “lost” Inca citadel of Machu Picchu – a sight so stunning that even the most jaded of travelers can’t help but go weak at the knees. After a tour of Machu Picchu with your expert private guide, it’s on to Cusco, a city that the Incas called the “Navel of the Universe.” Lose yourself among its colonial churches and ancient Inca-era pathways before returning to Lima. In this luxury tour, a true Peruvian experience is calling!

View Profile

We are a Peruvian-owned travel agency with offices in the USA and Peru. Having an on-the-ground presence in Cusco gives us a vital edge: not only do we know this region like the back of our hand, but we’re able to keep abreast of any exciting goings-on. We know when traffic will come to a standstill due to local parades, and when and where to make a detour to experience one-of-a-kind cultural experiences. Put simply, we don’t miss a beat. An international frame-of-mind with Peruvian know-how – can it get any better?

 

We actively seek out the undiscovered, the hidden-away wonders, the little-known locales, and out-of-the-way attractions. In other words, we pursue that which has yet to make it into any guidebook. We are confident we can take your vacation to the next level by providing extraordinary experiences that fit your passion. Our focus is fixed on your individual requirements, interests, and wishes, so you can expect your itinerary to be of the mold-breaking – not cookie-cutter – variety.
