Included Experience

• Paracas: Mother nature has her favourites, and the Paracas National Reserve is one of them. We'll take a tour of this protected natural area guilded with deserts, islands and the beautiful blue ocean. 
• Nazca: Climbing up 43 ft in the sky, you'll see the fascinating group of geoglyphs called the Nazca Lines from a (really) tall tower. Think: desert artwork of spiders, spirals and a mysterious astronaut-like human.
• Arequipa: Get to know the ‘white city’ better. Explore the highlights like Plaza de Armas and take some pics of the incredible backdrop of volcanoes.
• Cusco: Your chance to pick up some mementos at San Pedro Markets and then see Cusco Cathedral, San Blas and Coricancha.
• Sacred Valley: See llamas IRL and learn how Indigenous communities use weaving to share stories, identity, and culture — a tradition passed down without written language (and help keep ancient skills alive by providing sustainable income for local artisans!)

Hola, welcome to Lima! You’ll meet your crew this evening in this beautiful city packed with rich cultural heritage. Then we’ll get to know each other over a delicious dinner at a local restaurant.

Duration: 1 Day

Accommodation: NAIA Miraflores Hotel (or similar)

It’s been short ‘n’ sweet, Lima. But we’ve got no time to waste! After breakfast, we’ll hit the road on public transport and drive along the coast towards the rugged cliffs of the Paracas National Reserve. Are. You. Ready? Coastal scenery doesn’t get more stunning than this. We’ll take a tour of Peru's toasty coast, lined with rocky cliffs and bright blue waves. It’s not everyday you get to ride a buggy (or sandboard down the slopes, if that’s your vibe) over the largest sand dunes in all of South America. You’ll be absolutely awestruck. And that’s absolutely normal. Afterwards, we’ll check into our hostel (located right in the middle of a quaint little desert oasis!). Trust us, the sleep’s gonna hit different tonight.

Duration: 1 Day

Accommodation: Viajero Huacachina Hostel (or similar)

Wakey Wakey. Say goodbye to this desert oasis cuz we're jumping on the Peru Hop network — our public transport coach to the next desert wonder. Thought it couldn’t get any better? Well, the Nazca Lines beg to differ. These mysterious yet impressive 2000-year-old sand imprints have blown away the most brilliant minds. And today, you have the chance to view them from a tower. Settle in with your crew for a smooth ride to Arequipa. Get ready for more unreal desert and mountain views along the way.

Duration: 1 Day

Accommodation: Overnight Bus

Morning, travellers. We'll ditch the overnight coach and make our way to the hotel in this beautiful 'White City'. Welcome to Arequipa! Three majestic volcanoes, the vibrant Santa Catalina Monastery and a guided tour of all the city’s highlights await us. Next: check in, freshen up and spend the day exploring this wonderful city on our own.

Duration: 1 Day

Accommodation: Qema Arequipa (or similar)

Today is all yours. Wander the white-stone streets, post up in a sunny plaza cafe, or head out to explore viewpoints and markets at your own pace. Slow it down or pack it in, you do you.

Duration: 1 Day

Accommodation: Qema Arequipa (or similar)

Arequipa, you were awesome. But it's time to roll. This morning, we’ll jump back on the Peru Hop coach, cruising from white-stone streets and Misti views into big-sky altiplano territory. Think Lagunillas lagoons, roaming vicuñas, wide-open plains and Lake Titicaca’s basin in the distance — with plenty of photo stops baked in. Feeling the altitude? Yep. Welcome to Cusco! Tonight, the city’s yours to explore and grab dinner with the crew. Tomorrow? We dive all the way in.

Duration: 1 Day

Accommodation: Viajero Cusco (or similar)

Another day, another incredible Latin American destination to uncover; today it's sun up 'til sun down in Cusco. We’ll kick things off with a city tour, then the afternoon’s yours. Shop for artisan jewellery and woodwork, wander San Pedro Market with cacao nibs in hand and coca tea on the go. Feeling adventurous? Sign up for a mountain biking experience and explore the epic scenery just beyond the city.

Duration: 1 Day

Accommodation: Viajero Cusco (or similar)

Rise and shine! Want to see the unreal colours of Rainbow Mountain? Opt in for an early hike and earn those views. More of a slow morning person? Take your time exploring the city instead, or opt for a massage or an interactive dining experience where you’ll dish up some Peruvian classics yourself.

Duration: 1 Day

Accommodation: Viajero Cusco (or similar)

Catch ya later, Cusco. Today we’ll head for the Sacred Valley on our private coach. But first, a proper Andean culture stop. We’ll meet llamas, alpacas and vicuñas up close, learn the ancient Incan art of weaving from talented local artisans, and even try our hand at the traditional game of Sapo. Keep your eyes on the landscapes too for terraced hillsides and local village life rolling by. And just like that, we’ve made it to the Sacred Valley. Rest up in your lodge for the night.

Duration: 1 Day

Accommodation: Tunupa Lodge (or similar)

Ready for the Inca Trail? We’ll leave early and head towards KM 82, fuel up with breakfast en route, and meet our trekking crew — porters, chefs, guides (you know, the real MVPs).  We’ll kick off at KM 82 and ease into the trail, giving our legs (and lungs) time to adjust. Expect glacier views of La Verónica, a stop by Inca ruins, and that first “we’re really doing this” moment. After lunch, we’ll trek on to our Ayapata campsite, settle in with hot tea, and swap stories over dinner under big Andean skies.

Duration: 1 Day

Accommodation: Inca Trail Camping

Big trek day, folks! Kicking off with tea and brekkie, we'll head out at the trail early to make the most of the day. Today, we're covering 16km in around 10 hours. First, a 4-hour climb to Dead Woman’s Pass (4,215m), the highest point of the route, with unbelievale, panoramic Andean views waiting at the top. Then we'll descend into the Pacaymayu Valley for lunch, then climb again to the circular Runkurakay ruins and Runkurakay Pass where you’ll take part in a Pachamama offering to connect with Mother Earth. Next, we'll continue down to the mysterious Sayaqmarka ruins and finishing at Chaquiqocha campsite (3,600m) for a mountain dinner and a sky full of Inca constellations.

Duration: 1 Day

Accommodation: Inca Trail Camping

Wake up to warm coca leaf tea in your tent. Fuel up with breakfast, then set off early for a seriously scenic day. You’ll trek 10km in around 5 hours (don't worry, the toughest climbs are behind you). Starting with a 1.5-hour hike through lush jungle paths, you’ll catch contrasting views of snow-capped Salkantay against the green cloud forest. Next, arrive at Phuyupatamarka (3,650m), the “City Above the Clouds,” for sweeping views over the Sacred Valley, then descend down ancient Inca steps to the agricultural terraces of Intipata. And finally - you'll reach our campsite near Wiñay Wayna (AKA forever young). After lunch, it's time explore this spiritual site for a closer look at Inca life before sitting down for a small celebration dinner to thank your epic team of guides, porters, and cooks.

Duration: 1 Day

Accommodation: Inca Trail Camping

Final push, folks. Are you ready? We'll kick off our 5km trek before dawn, including a short 1-hour hike to the Sun Gate (Inti Punku) to catch sunrise over Machu Picchu (and your first unreal view of the Lost City of the Incas). Once you’re in, we'll head in for a 2-hour guided tour through the iconic temples and plazas. Later, we'll take the bus back down to Aguas Calientes for lunch. Then, hop on the train back to Ollantaytambo and a private transfer to Cusco with a hostel drop-off in the evening. Take a moment. Take it in. You've just seen one the world's most epic ancient wonders IRL.
