Special 6: Discover Peru

Take an early flight to Puerto Maldonado. Upon your arrival you will be immediately transferred to your jungle lodge. It is located in the territory of the Ese'eja native community and is built with the same materials and architectural techniques as those used by the native communities throughout the Amazon. As you leave the traces of the city of Puerto Maldonado behind, sailing in a dugout canoe on the Tambopata River, the tranquility of the rainforest absorbs you.

At dawn a short hike takes you to the parrot clay lick a few minutes down-river from the lodge. Later, after breakfast, you can try to spot giant river otters, turtles, hoatzin, and wading birds. In the afternoon you will go for a walk through the forest. Enthusiasts can go on a night hike.

At dawn you can go for an optional visit to the clay lick. After breakfast, you will go for a hike accompanied by an Ese'eja who will explain how the forest is used in their everyday life: for food, medicine, construction materials etc. In the afternoon you will hike a different trail that crosses a floodplain and a bamboo forest.

Transfer to the airport to take your flight to Cuzco. You will be picked up at the airport and taken to your comfortable hotel where you are advised to rest to acclimatize to the altitude. That evening, enjoy Cuzco nightlife at your leisure.

In the early afternoon you will be taken on a city tour and will visit some of the many amazing archaeological sites and wonders in and around the city. You will see the Cathedral (which is located on the Plaza de Armas), Sacsayhuaman, Q'enko, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay. Remember to bring your camera on this trip as you will certainly want a reminder of the amazing awe these Inca sites can evoke.

You will return to your hotel in the early evening to relax before dinner. Before setting out to eat in one of the many restaurants in Cuzco remember to put on something warm as it can get cold pretty quickly. Spend the evening enjoying the local cuisine and hospitality of Cuzco’s very friendly people.

See our Cuzco Guide for more in-depth information about the city, including Cuzco restaurants.

After an early breakfast and early start you will be taken through the Sacred Valley of the Inca where life has remained almost unchanged for 500 years. The drive from Cuzco is not very long and on the way you will see some typical Andean villages and scenery. Upon descent into the Sacred Valley you will know that you have arrived in the area the Inca revered for its lush fertile soils.

You will visit the impressive ruins of Ollantaytambo. These ancient ruins look out as outposts over the valley and are a wonder to view. This was the royal estate of Emperor Pachacuti during the Inca Empire and served as a stronghold for Manco Inca Yupanqui.

Later on, you will have the opportunity of visiting the lively local market in Pisac to enjoy the beautiful handicrafts on sale. It is here that many fine Andean garments are for sale. For lunch you will have the chance to try out traditional Andean foods.

In the evening you will return to your comfortable hotel in Cuzco where you will once again be given the opportunity to spend the evening at your leisure in one of the many fine restaurants or bars available in the area.

After breakfast at the hotel you will take a train to the hidden temple of the Incas: Machu Picchu. The train ride is a destination in itself as you pass through an abundant cloud forest with amazing views out over the Andes.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will either be taken directly by bus to the ruins of Machu Picchu or to your very comfortable hotel - if you decide to spend the evening in the area - before you head to the ruins. The town is located a little ways down the pass and the bus up to the ruins takes about 20 minutes.

Once you arrive in Machu Picchu, you will begin a guided tour of this world wonder. If you decide to spend the night in this area (highly recommended) you will have another chance to visit the ruins early next day. You can also relax at the nearby hot springs. Otherwise you will return to the station in the mid afternoon for the train back to Cuzco and transfer back to your hotel.

See our Machu Picchu Guide for more in-depth information on restaurants, nightlife and shopping.

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel. From there we will take you the airport, train station or bus station for your transfer to Puno. Many travelers enjoy the beautiful 10 hour train ride to Puno, during which you will see spectacular views of the Andes. Once you reach Puno we will transfer you to your hotel.

Learn about the differences between the first-class bus to Puno and the luxury train to Puno.

During your full one day tour you will visit 2-3 of the Islands of Uros. There are an estimated 32 islands of Uros and are populated by islanders who are either close enough to Puno who are open to tourists and others who are far from Puno and live in relative isolation. The islands themselves are man made and are constructed from many layers of ‘totora’ reeds. These islands float around Lake Titicaca and are truly a wonder to behold. On some of the islands you will be given the chance to pick up some traditional local handicrafts.

Following this you will be lead to the Island of Taquile which is located about 45 km from Puno and is abundant with numerous pre-Inca and Inca ruins. The local islanders still maintain many ancient traditions which can easily be seen though their time-honored clothing and beautiful handicrafts. You will be lead around the island to all of the most important sites such as the museum of traditional costumes and the ruins at the highest point of the island where, if you’re lucky, an incredible sunset can be observed.

You will be transferred to the airport or bus station for your flight or bus to Arequipa. Upon your arrival to Arequipa you will be picked up and taken to your comfortable hotel.

You will start out early to spend as much time as possible in the majestic Peruvian highlands arriving at the Colca Canyon lookout point "Cruz del Condor" in Chivay. Here you will have a panoramic view of the canyon. During your journey you will not only see amazing panoramas but also traditional Andean villages and animals - llamas, alpacas and vicuñas - whose wool is used by the inhabitants to make the finest of textiles. To fully enjoy the trip we have arranged an overnight stay in a lodge close to the canyon so that you will have every opportunity of photographing condors and grabbing up textile bargains. In the afternoon of day 12 you will return to your hotel in Arequipa - the White City.

Read about the Arequipa restaurants to learn where you can dine in this Andean city.

In the morning you will be taken on an Arequipa city tour to view what is considered by many to be the most attractive city in Peru, where many of the colonial buildings are made of white ashler stone. Late afternoon transfer to the Arequipa bus terminal to take your late afternoon bus to Nazca.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at your hotel you will be taken to view the extraordinary Nazca Lines. These geoglyphs, which were drawn between 500 B.C. and 500 A .D. are among the most impenetrable enigmas of archaeology by virtue of their quantity, nature and size, as well as their continuity. Some of the geoglyphs depict living creatures, plants or imaginary figures, as well as geometric figures several kilometers long. The lines are best viewed from the sky and during your flight you will be able to see the ornately designed drawings, including the condor, hummingbird, and monkey Many theories and studies exist to explain who made the lines and why, but the answer remains a mystery today. See our Nazca Guide for more in-depth information on the Nazca Lines.

In the morning you will be transferred to Paracas Bay where you will go on an adventurous boat trip to the Ballestas Islands. Here you will be able to spot sea lions, seals, penguins, guano birds and turtles (rarely found at this latitude) can be seen. The boat ride there will take you past the Candelabra (candlestick), a 50 meter long sketching in the hills of the mainland thought to be connected to the Nazca Lines. Some relate it to the Southern Cross constellation, while others say it is a drawing of a cactus, a symbol of power from the Chavin culture. See our Paracas Guide for more information on the area and its attractions.

In the afternoon you will take a bus to Lima.

Morning or afternoon city tour (your choice!).

One city tour will take you to the historical center where colonial and modern Lima still co-exist. In the city center’s Plaza Mayor (main square) you will find beautifully designed architecture, such as gates, altars and colonial balconies. Here you will be able to appreciate the buildings and landmarks that hold the most political and religious significance to the city such as the Cathedral, the Government Palace and city hall. You will also visit other recently restored landmarks such as San Martin Square, the Central Railway and Muralla Park.

In another city tour you will discover the Pre-Colombian history of Lima by visiting one of its most important sanctuaries: The Huaca (Temple) Pucllana. Built before the era of the Incas, the Huaca is an immense flat-top pyramid situated in Miraflores, one of the most modern districts of Lima. This provides an interesting contrast between the city’s past and present. After visiting the Huaca Pucllana, your tour will take you to the districts of Barranco and Miraflores where you will be able to appreciate the Pacific Ocean from the cliffs of Lima. 

At the appropriate time, transfer to the Lima airport for your international flight back home.

Heading east from Cusco you will discover the remarkable and extensive Inca ruins of Tipon, famous for its beautiful gardens set high within the Andes Mountains, where fresh, cool water runs through an intricate system of fountains. Your professional tour guide will lead you up and along the expansive terraces, supported by traditional Inca stonework, with a visible and fully-functional irrigation system of channels flowing underneath.

Following a path leading just above the final terrace on the hill you will come across a remarkable temple hidden by the mountain. Your entire visit to the ruins will be framed by the beautiful vistas overlooking the town of Tipon, and the stunning backdrop of the Andes dominating the entire valley.

Continuing your tour you’ll arrive in Piquillajta, ‘the City of Fleas,’ an impressive and ancient Wari ruin dating back to the first century. You’ll explore this administrative capital of the southern portion of the Wari Empire which dates back to pre-Inca times, made up of compounds of ancient two-storey storehouses, dormitories, and ceremonial sites. To this day the walls have retained their ancient plastering and lime coatings.

Your tour proceeds to the small village of Andahuaylillas, home to a dazzling 17th-century church, known as ‘the Andean Sistine Chapel’ because of its stunning frescoes and rich, distinct interior design. Built upon the site of an old Inca temple, the church’s altar is gilded in 24-carat gold leaf and adorned with both Christian and Quechua symbols. The detailed baroque style and elegant, valuable adornments are thought to have been an early attempt by the Spaniards to dazzle the Inca into converting to Christianity.

Leaving the village of Andahuaylillas you will make the return journey through this stunning landscape and back to your comfortable Cusco hotel. Please note that lunch is not included in this tour and ordering a box lunch from your hotel is advised.

On the outskirts of Puno you will find mysterious pre-Inca ruins called chullpas (funeral towers). They sit on the windswept altiplano (high planes) on a peninsula in Lake Umayo at Sillustani. The Colla people, a warrior tribe that spoke Aymara, buried their elite in giant cylindrical tombs, some as tall as 12 meters high (40 ft.). The stonemasonry is exquisite (many archaeologists and historians find them more complex and superior even to Inca engineering), and the structures form quite an impression on such a harsh landscape.

With more than a thousand items from pre-Columbian cultures such as the Huari, Tiahuanuco, Chancay and Inca including ceramics, textiles, stone, wood and metal objects, the archeology museum’s most interesting attraction is arguably “Mummy Juanita” or the “Ice Maiden”. 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.
