Day 1 : Arrival to Lima & Lima Tour

• You will be picked up at the airport by a Peru For Less representative and taken to your confirmed Lima hotel. After a short rest, you’ll meet your English-speaking guide for your exciting tour of Lima.
• This Lima tour takes you to the main political and religious sites of the city. You’ll start in Lima’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you will admire the Plaza Mayor (the central square), which is surrounded by 5 important buildings: the Government Palace, the Cathedral, the Archbishop´s Palace, the Municipal Palace, and the Palace of Lima. You’ll then travel a few blocks to the San Francisco Monastery, famous for its catacombs where over 250,000 bones rest. Your tour of Lima will end with a picturesque panoramic view from Muralla Park.
• You’ll have the evening to spend at your leisure. We recommend a stroll through the scenic Parque del Amor (Park of Love) above the cliff near Larcomar, a mall built into the jagged cliffs of Lima’s coastline. Check out our Lima Travel Guide for ideas on great restaurants or shopping in Lima. 

Day 2 : Arrival to Paracas & Nazca Lines Tour

• After breakfast at your hotel, you will be taken to the bus station for your trip to Paracas. You will travel approximately 3h30 aboard a comfortable first class bus. Upon arrival in Paracas, you will be taken to your confirmed Paracas hotel.
• After you drop off your luggage in your hotel, you’ll head to the nearby Pisco airport to take off on your exciting tour of the Nazca Lines. Built between 500 BC and 500 AD, the Nazca Lines are a World Heritage Site and have been carefully studied for half a century and still continue to perplex researchers. Many scientists believe the lines had some astronomical function for the Nazca civilization, although other more colorful theories abound. During the flight, you will see famous glyphs such as the condor, the hummingbird, and the monkey. See our Nazca Travel Guide for more in-depth information on the Nazca Lines.
• After you touch back down to earth, you’ll be taken back to your Paracas hotel, where you can relax and ponder the mysterious Nazca Lines at your leisure as you enjoy a beautiful sunset over the Paracas Bay.

 

Note: Flights from Pisco to Nazca require a minimum of two passengers. Please contact your travel advisor for single passenger inquiries.

Day 3 : Ballestas Islands Tour & Return to Lima

• Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before departing on an adventurous boat trip to the Ballestas Islands. Here you can spot sea lions, seals, penguins, guano birds, and turtles (rarely found at this latitude). The boat trip lasts approximately 2 hours.
• On the way to the islands, you will also get the opportunity to spot the Candelabra, a 165-foot (50-meter) long sketching in the rock, which experts believe is connected to the Nazca Lines. Debate with your companions whether the Candelabra formation represents a cactus— a symbol of power in the ancient Chavin culture—or perhaps the Southern Cross constellation.
• After your boating excursion, you will be transferred to the bus station to return to Lima for the night.  After you check in to your hotel, you will have the evening in Lima to enjoy at your leisure. 

Day 4 : Arrival to Arequipa & Arequipa Tour

• After breakfast, you’ll take a morning flight to Arequipa, often called the White City due to its white buildings constructed out of sillar, a white volcanic rock.
• Upon arrival to the city, you will be greeted at the airport by one of our representatives who will take you to your confirmed Arequipa hotel. Here you will be able to relax and adjust to the altitude before your afternoon city tour.
• Meet your guide at your hotel for your Arequipa tour which will begin with a visit to the city’s beautiful main square. You’ll first visit the town hall and the neo-classical Cathedral. You’ll then tour some famous mansions, many of which are intricately decorated with Baroque façades. You will also have the opportunity to stop at the bustling local market to mingle with locals as they do their daily shopping.
• Though your tour ends at the market, we highly recommend a visit to the Santa Catalina Monastery during your free time. Alternatively, simply enjoy your beautiful surroundings and try the delicious Arequipeña cuisine.

Day 5 : Colca Canyon Tour

• Start the day with a filling breakfast at your Arequipa hotel before setting off on a scenic drive to the Colca Canyon, by way of Chivay. This ride takes you through spectacular highland landscapes and is one of the highlights of your journey to the canyon. As the road climbs up to Reserva Nacional de Salinas y Aguada Blanca, keep your eyes open for wild vicuñas and visachas, small rodents similar to rabbits.
• As you descend from the Patapampa, the highest pass on this journey, you’ll begin to see pre-Inca agricultural terraces as you get close to the town of Chivay.
• You’ll be taken to your Colca Canyon hotel and have the afternoon to relax amidst the pastoral beauty or soak in the nearby hot springs.

Day 6 : Colca Canyon Tour & Return to Arequipa

• Meet your guide for the journey to the Mirador Cruz del Condor, one of the best viewpoints of this deep canyon, which is home to the famed condors that gracefully soar on the wind currents. The road leads past picturesque villages and pre-Inca ruins dominated by the glaciers Ampato and Hualca visible in the distance. Once you reach Cruz del Condor, you can stand at the viewpoint and gaze into the canyon’s depths, stretching nearly 4,000 feet below. 
• After you have had your fill of the scenery, you will head to Chivay where you can enjoy lunch and browse the local market before continuing on to Arequipa where you will be taken to your confirmed hotel.
• Browse our range of additional services in Arequipa or explore the city on your own before enjoying a relaxing evening at your leisure.

Day 7 : Arrival to Cusco

• After breakfast at your Arequipa hotel, you will be transferred to the airport for your flight to Cusco. You will be picked up at the Cusco airport upon arrival and taken to your confirmed Cusco hotel, where you are advised to rest to acclimatize to the altitude. You will have the evening to enjoy the Cusco nightlife at your leisure.

Day 8 : Cusco Tour

• Enjoy a guided tour of Cusco that takes you to visit some of the many amazing archeological sites and wonders in and around the city. You will see the Cathedral (which is located on the Plaza de Armas - or the main square), as well as the ruins of Sacsayhuaman, Q'enko, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay.
• You will return to your hotel in the late afternoon to enjoy a relaxing evening. Check out our Cusco Travel Guide for suggestions of great Cusco restaurants. 

Day 9 : Sacred Valley Tour

• Explore the beautiful Peruvian countryside during a full-day tour of the magical Sacred Valley. First you will visit the town of Pisac, which is known for its lively market. Here you will have the opportunity to browse the beautiful Andean handicrafts, garments, and jewelry displayed for sale.
• Next you will visit the impressive ruins of Ollantaytambo. Ollantaytambo is a tiny Sacred Valley village, and one of the most picturesque. If you climb to the top of its magnificent ancient ruins, you will be rewarded with an incredible view. Originally the royal estate of Emperor Pachacuti during the Inca Empire, it later served as a stronghold for Manco Inca Yupanqui in the Incas’ final rebellion against the Spanish.
• In the evening, you will return to your comfortable Cusco hotel. 

Day 10 : Machu Picchu Tour

• After breakfast at your Cusco hotel you will take a train to the hidden temple of the Incas: Machu Picchu. The train ride is an attraction in itself, as much of the path winds along the river and mountain face, offering passengers dramatic views of the Andes as the train passes through abundant cloud forests. 
• Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, the town near Machu Picchu, you will head to the bus station for a 20-minute ride up to the secluded citadel, where you will enjoy a fascinating tour of the ruins.
• After your tour, you have the option to explore more of the site on your own and capture some final photos.
• In the afternoon, you will take a comfortable train back to Cusco. You also have the option to stay an extra night in Aguas Calientes, the town at the foot of Machu Picchu.
• Check out our Machu Picchu Travel Guide for more information on what to see and do, as well as Machu Picchu restaurants that we recommend for tasty dining. 

Day 11 : Departure from Cusco

• After breakfast at your hotel, meet your transfer to the airport for your journey home or on to your next destination.

With more than a thousand items from pre-Columbian cultures such as the Huari, Tiahuanuco, Chancay, and Inca, this fabulous museum displays ceramics, textiles, stone, wood, and metal objects. The archeology museum’s most interesting attraction is arguably Mummy Juanita, also known as the Ice Maiden or Ice Princess. Discovered in 1995 by anthropologist Johan Reinhard in the summit crater of Mt. Ampato, Juanita is the Inca mummy of a girl who lived more than 500 years ago. The frozen state of the mummy permitted tests to be run on the organs that revealed new insights into Inca health and nutrition during the reign of the Sapa Inca Pachacuti. The discovery was heralded by Time magazine as one of the world’s top ten discoveries.

Note: This tour is available April through December.
