Our Package
Day 1 Peru – Lima
Arrive at your hotel in Lima after your international flight and recharge before your city tour!
We understand the fatigue that comes with long international flights, which is why we make your arrival as seamless as possible. Upon landing in Lima, your Peruvian Luxe host will be there to greet you and take you directly to your hotel.

In the afternoon, embark on a fantastic city tour, beginning in Lima’s colonial district. Wander the cobblestone streets and vibrant squares, such as Plaza San Martín and Plaza de Armas. You’ll also explore the Monastery of San Francisco, a Spanish baroque gem, complete with its mysterious catacombs.

Day 2 Lima – Cusco – Sacred Valley
Welcome to Cusco! Explore Awanacancha’s Andean camelids and the ancient Pisac Inca site.
After a hearty breakfast, your host will escort you to the Lima airport for your flight to Cusco. As you approach the Andes, you’ll see the transition from coastal deserts to towering mountain peaks.
Upon arrival in Cusco, your guide will be waiting for you at the airport to take you to the Sacred Valley, which lies 600 meters lower in altitude. This ensures a smoother acclimatization to the highland environment.
Your first stop will be Awanacancha, where you’ll encounter South America’s iconic camelids, including llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos. You’ll even have the opportunity to interact with these animals and learn about traditional weaving techniques used by the local communities.
Next, we’ll explore the ancient Pisac archaeological site, known for its impressive terraced fields, temples, and an Inca cemetery. Finish your visit by shopping at Pisac’s bustling market, where you can find handcrafted goods made by the local artisans.
For lunch, we will recommend a local restaurant that features fresh ingredients from the Sacred Valley, offering a truly authentic Peruvian dining experience.

Your first stop will be Ollantaytambo, a massive Inca fortress that once served as the last stand for the Inca civilization during the Spanish conquest. Wander through its ancient temples and squares as your guide shares fascinating stories of the site’s history.
Next, we’ll head to the Maras salt mines, where you’ll witness thousands of salt pans still used today by local communities. The salt from this area is world-renowned for its rich flavor.
Your final destination today is the Moray terraces. These concentric circles were used by the Incas as an experimental agricultural laboratory to test the effects of different altitudes on crops.

The journey takes you through the lush Peruvian jungle, and the train ride is a delightful experience with views of tropical flora and fauna.
Once you arrive in Aguas Calientes, your guide will escort you to the bus station for a 35-minute ride up to Machu Picchu. Spend several hours exploring this ancient citadel, learning about its history and the mysteries that surround it.
