Duration 7 days
Our 7-day program was specially designed for families and couples who want to experience the best of the Ballestas Islands, Huacachina, and Cusco on a one-week trip.
Among the main attractions of this package are the impressive Huacachina oasis and the Ballestas Islands, in the Ica desert, south of Lima; the Inca ruins of Moray, the Salineras, and Ollantaytambo, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas; and, of course, the great star of this trip: the wonder of Machu Picchu.
Our team will take care of everything you need so you can enjoy your trip in comfort, safety, and peace of mind: transfers between the hotel and the airport, tourist transportation, professional guides, train and bus tickets, hotels (optional), and entrance to Machu Picchu.
Our itinerary can be adapted to your dates and arrival and departure times, and the tours can be in small groups or private. Contact us for more information and options for your trip!
Welcome to Peru and to Lima! On your arrival, our local staff will welcome you and transfer you to your hotel in Miraflores. Depending on your arrival time, you can take a City Tour to see the city's best attractions or explore the surroundings of Miraflores on your own.
On this day, we will leave Lima at 4:00 a.m. toward Paracas, where we will board a speedboat for our tour of the Ballestas Islands, natural habitat of hundreds of native and migratory species such as sea lions, Humboldt penguins, dolphins, and pelicans, among others.
In the afternoon, we will head to the Huacachina oasis for our buggy and sandboarding adventure on the dunes surrounding the oasis, where you can enjoy a beautiful sunset before the return trip to Lima.
On your arrival in Cusco, our staff will be waiting for you at the airport to take you safely to your hotel. On this day, we recommend a good rest and a light diet so that your body can better acclimatize to the altitude of over 3350 m a.s.l.
Enjoy a VIP Sacred Valley tour, visiting different archaeological centers, a handicraft market, the Salineras, and Ollantaytambo. In the afternoon, we will take the train to Aguas Calientes, where we will spend the night before our visit to Machu Picchu.
Today you will take the long-awaited guided visit to the magical lost city of Machu Picchu, lasting approximately 2 hours: more than enough time to learn the history of this sacred place and take the best photos. Once the tour is over, we will return to the town of Aguas Calientes, from where the train will depart for Ollantaytambo station and, finally, our transportation will take you from the station to your hotel in Cusco.
Discover the incredible landscape of the 7 Colors Mountain (Vinicunca), the second most visited destination in the country, which needs no introduction. It is a must-stop for all travelers, on a tour where you can also enjoy the beautiful landscapes of Cusco's southern valley and see alpacas and llamas along the way. If you prefer, you can swap this activity for the Humantay Lake experience.
At the agreed time, we will safely take you to the airport for your flight from Cusco to Lima.
You can choose to book only the excursions or the complete package, which includes excursions, transfers, and hotels. We do not include flights, but we will give you recommendations on airlines and schedules.
The Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turístico) is a personal ticket and is not sold in advance. It must be purchased in Cusco or at the entrance of the visited sites where it is required.
The maximum volume allowed on the trains is 5 kg per person, so you should travel with the bare essentials; the rest of your luggage should remain at your hotel in Cusco during the two days of travel. If you check out when traveling to Machu Picchu, you can leave your luggage in the hotel's luggage storage.
The entry time for this tour is from 7:00 a.m., but it may vary depending on ticket availability at the time of booking. Remember: the sooner you book, the better your chances of getting the best time slots.
