After disembarking in Cartagena, Colombia, guests will fly to Lima, Peru, with airfare between destinations included in the land experience. Upon arrival, guests will be accompanied to their hotel before discovering Lima, Peru’s vibrant capital. The journey then continues to Cusco and the Sacred Valley, culminating in a privately guided exploration of Machu Picchu.
The journey combines Peru’s coastal capital with the history and landscapes of the Andes. In Lima, guests can explore the vibrant neighbourhoods of Miraflores and Barranco with a local guide before flying to Cusco, where historic architecture, Inca heritage and distinctive Peruvian cuisine set the scene for the days ahead.
At the heart of the experience is a journey to Machu Picchu aboard either the legendary Hiram Bingham, A Belmond Train, or first-class Inca Rail. Accompanied by a local guide, guests will discover the ancient Inca citadel, set against a dramatic backdrop of surrounding mountains.
Other highlights include the Sacred Valley and Ollantaytambo, the ancient Maras salt pans, Moray’s distinctive agricultural terraces, Cusco’s historic centre, the former Inca temple of Koricancha and the hilltop fortress of Sacsayhuaman.
Along the way, guests can discover Peru through its cuisine, architecture, art and local traditions, with time to take in the Andean landscapes and explore Cusco’s historic streets at their own pace.
Guests can choose between two hotel experiences, each designed to complement the journey through Peru. The Boutique option features stays at The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center, Tambo del Inka, A Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, and Palacio del Inka, A Luxury Collection Hotel.
