This tour is an ideal introduction to Peru. It includes Lima, the cultural, natural, and archaeological highlights of Cusco and the Sacred Valley, and a luxury cruise on the Amazon.

Begin with a few days of sophisticated touring in Lima. This cosmopolitan city is well worth a visit for the opportunity to experience its history as well as Peru’s best museums, shopping and restaurants. Enjoy personalized, private touring including special activities such as insider tour of the old colonial quarter, viewing spectacular pre-Colombian art collections, browsing at high-quality boutiques and art galleries, tours of the city’s excellent museums, time to explore the city’s food markets (including tastings of local specialties), and visits to nearby haciendas.

Next, fly to Cusco. Your guide will lead you through the narrow cobblestone streets as you learn about the fascinating Incan and Spanish history in the city. During your tour, also visit markets, galleries, boutiques and the best artisan workshops. There will also be an excursion to Inca ruins and a Peruvian dance performance. 

Spend a day in the Sacred Valley of the Incas (Urubamba Valley) to experience the best of the local culture during visits to indigenous markets and villages, gentle hikes to important Inca and pre-Inca sites, and meetings with renowned local weavers. Active pursuits can also be incorporated, if desired, such as day treks, rafting, hot air ballooning and horseback riding.

Board the luxurious Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu and spend one night near the ruins. Your private guide will teach you about the fascinating history of the site and ensure that you have the opportunity to explore the grounds after most tourists have left. Spend the following day exploring the ruins with the option to hike trails to stunning viewpoints around the site before returning to Cusco by luxury train.

Next, fly to Iquitos for a three-night luxury cruise in the Amazon River Basin. Observe wildlife along the waterways and stop for a visit at a local village. Opt for jungle walks, fishing or night excursions to spot nocturnal wildlife , and enjoy gourmet meals on board prepared by one of Lima’s top chefs.

On the final day, a flight back to Lima in the morning for flexible touring or shopping before transferring to the airport for your return flight.
