Begin the Lima experience with a full-day tour, including the city center and the various districts that surround the vast metropolis.

Fly to the former capital of the Incan Empire, the city of Cusco. We suggest taking it easy on the first day, as the elevation is high at 11,150 feet or 3,400 meters. Drink plenty of water, or try some coca tea!

Get ready for an incredible day in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Haggle with the locals at Pisac Market for a variety of handmade clothing, climb to the top of the Ollantaytambo fortress for a fantastic view of the terraced valley, and gaze at the snow-capped peaks of the Andes’ most sacred mountains. You’ll also enjoy a feast of Peruvian specialties at a restaurant in Urubamba.

You’ll travel along the Urubamba Valley by train until reaching the iconic Andean cloud forest. Once we arrive at the train station, our guide will lead you to your hotel in Aguas Calientes. Take the day to explore this unique village and visit the natural hot springs located just outside of town.

Today is the big day everyone has been waiting for. We head to the Machu Picchu Sanctuary on the tourist bus for a 20-minute ride up the mountain. You'll soon have your first glimpse of the ancient Inca citadel, a mystical location hidden for hundreds of years. Your professional tour guide will take you on a tour of Machu Picchu’s most important sights. After a few hours of exploring the city, we return to Aguas Calientes and take a train ride back to Cusco.

• The Rainbow Mountain, as it is commonly referred to, has consistently been one of the most popular day hikes. We begin the trip with a 4:00 am pick-up and then drive to "Vinicunca," otherwise known as the Rainbow or Painted Mountains.

Pack your bags, enjoy breakfast, and prepare for your transfer to the airport and your journey back home.
