Arrive in Lima where you will be greeted and transferred to your hotel by your Tour Director.

This morning, explore the city with your Local guide as he focuses on its colonial heritage during a walking Tour. Start at the Plaza de Armas to see the Government Palace and the cathedral. From here, proceed to the venerable SAN FRANCISCO MONASTERY with its splendid 17th-century cloister murals. For a special treat, stop at a LOCAL PERUVIAN FOOD MARKET to get a real taste of life of the local people. Later this evening, enjoy a welcome dinner at one of Lima’s Peruvian restaurants with your fellow travelling companions.

Fly to Cusco, the impressive Andean city that was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Spend the day in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, starting with a visit to the TEMPLE OF SACSAYHUAMAN, perched on a hillside overlooking Cusco. It remains unfathomable how and when this fortress of gigantic stones—with some blocks weighing more than 350 tons—was built. While at the ruins, experience an El Pago a la Tierra or MOTHER EARTH CEREMONY, performed by a local shaman. These ceremonies pay tribute to Mother Earth and have been practiced in Peru since before the arrival of the Incas. Next, stop at the semi-circular KENKO Amphitheatre with its stone altars and labyrinth of passages. See the ancient site of PucaPucara before continuing to PISAC, an old mountain village where you will have free time to shop for local wares such as alpaca sweaters and blankets, jewellery or hand-painted ornamental dishes and vases. You are scheduled to spend the night in the Sacred Valley enjoying a special dinner outing with a PERUVIAN PASO HORSE SHOW.

This morning, visit the Inca Fortress of OLLANTAYTAMBO, followed by the opportunity to visit a home to meet some of the locals and experience their way of life. Next, board the Vistadome train for a short journey through the lush Urubamba Valley. Then, transfer to a motor coach for the ascent to legendary MACHU PICCHU, the ‘Lost City of the Incas’ high above the steep valley overlaid with dense tropical jungle. Your Local Guide will bring you closer to discover the mysteries still hidden in these amazing structures built by the pre-Columbian masters of this sacred land. You are scheduled to spend the night here at a nearby hotel.

Enjoy the tranquillity of the morning with free time to experience the magic in Machu Picchu. After lunch, return to the Sacred Valley by train and continue on to Cusco.

This morning, explore more about the Incas and their struggle against invading Spaniards on your Cusco city tour with visits to the imposing CATHEDRAL and the SANTO DOMINGO MONASTERY. The rest of your day is free to choose your activities. Enjoy a special farewell dinner tonight at a local restaurant.

Board a flight to Lima where the rest of your afternoon is at leisure for you to explore the city.

Start your day with a lavish breakfast and bid farewell to all your fellow companions.
