Explore Machu Picchu with an expert guide and stay overnight in Aguas Calientes at a riverside Andean hotel. Enjoy premier hotels in Lima, the Sacred Valley, and colonial Cusco, opportunities to connect with local communities, and special activities uniquely Peruvian.
From the Pacific coast to the peaks of the Andes, Peru is a land of extraordinary contrasts, where ancient civilizations have left their mark on the landscape and centuries-old traditions remain part of everyday life. Discover the legendary Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, perched high among mist-shrouded mountains; explore Cusco, where Inca stonework meets Spanish colonial architecture; and experience the Sacred Valley, where fertile fields and Andean villages offer a window into Peru's living heritage.
Over the course of a week, discover a country through the people and traditions that shape it. Learn the secrets of Peruvian cuisine in Lima, try your hand at traditional crafts in the Sacred Valley, and meet the communities who carry on their ancestors' customs. From rafting along an Andean river to savoring locally made chocolate, every experience brings you closer to the beating heart of Peru.
