Our Package
Day 1 Peru – Lima
Arrive at your hotel in Lima after your international flight and recharge for our city tour.
We understand how exhausting international flights can be, so we’ll take care of everything upon your arrival in the Peruvian capital. At Lima Airport, a representative from Peruvian Luxe will meet you at the arrival gate to escort you to your preferred hotel.
Once settled in your room, you can take a refreshing shower, relax, or choose to explore the local gastronomy with a delicious lunch (on your own) at your hotel or nearby areas.
In the afternoon, a fantastic city tour will introduce you to both the colonial and modern zones of Lima. Admire the French-style squares, such as Plaza San Martin and the Plaza de Armas, and wander through the charming colonial alley of Jirón de la Unión. Visit the colonial Monastery of San Francisco, where you’ll marvel at Spanish Baroque architecture and uncover hidden catacombs beneath the monastery. Your guide will share intriguing historical facts about this fascinating site.
Afterward, take a leisurely walk through the Miraflores district, known for its parks and shopping spots like the Larcomar Mall. For dinner, we recommend making a reservation at Central or Maido, two of the best restaurants in Peru, both ranked highly in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list for 2023.
Overnight in Lima. No meals included.
Day 2 Lima – Cusco – Sacred Valley
Welcome to Cusco! Enjoy Awanacancha Andean Camelid Zoo and the Pisac Inca neighborhood.
Your adventure begins after breakfast, as our guide will escort you to Lima airport for a comfortable 75-minute flight to Cusco, the ancient Inca capital. From the plane, you’ll witness the stunning transition from the Pacific Ocean to the Andean mountains, which were once home to the mighty Inca civilization.
Upon arrival in Cusco, our local host will greet you at the airport and, to help with altitude acclimatization, take you directly to the Sacred Valley, located 600 meters lower than Cusco.
Your first stop will be the Awanacancha, where you’ll encounter the four South American camelids: llama, alpaca, guanaco, and vicuña. The locals will explain the significance of these animals in the Andean culture and demonstrate the traditional weaving techniques used to craft beautiful textiles.
Then, we’ll visit the Pisac archaeological site, an ancient Inca settlement perched on a hill with impressive terraces, temples, and even a cemetery. Following this, enjoy the vibrant handicraft market in Pisac before heading to a local restaurant for lunch with ingredients from the Sacred Valley.
In the evening, relax and enjoy a restful night at your hotel in the Sacred Valley.

Day 3 Sacred Valley
Explore the last Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo, the Inca salt mines of Maras, and the circular terraces of Moray.
After a hearty breakfast at your luxury hotel, your journey through the Sacred Valley continues. Visit Ollantaytambo, a significant Inca fortress that was the last stronghold during the Spanish conquest. Walk through its narrow alleys, temples, and stone squares while learning about its fascinating history and local legends.
Next, travel to Maras, where you’ll see the famous salt mines that have been in operation for centuries. Thousands of small pools, still used by local people, produce salt that’s renowned for its quality.
Our last stop of the day is the unique circular terraces of Moray. These terraces, used by the Incas to experiment with crop acclimatization, offer a fascinating glimpse into the agricultural innovations of the time.
Afterward, relax and enjoy a delicious lunch at a restaurant overlooking the breathtaking views of the Sacred Valley.

The journey takes you through the lush jungle, following the Vilcanota River, with birds singing overhead. Once at Aguas Calientes, a guide will meet you and take you by bus to the entrance of Machu Picchu, where you will have a guided tour of the ancient citadel, discovering its temples, squares, and stone pathways.
After exploring the citadel, return to Aguas Calientes for lunch before taking the train back to Ollantaytambo, where you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Cusco for a relaxing evening.
