Trésors andins

13 jours / 12 nuits

Aperçu

In this package of thirteen days, we will explore different Andean treasures and experience the different cities in this region.

We will start in Lima, with a small tour observing colonial monuments. We later take an airplane going to the City of Arequipa, better known as the White City of Peru. It is here that you will see main attractions including the Mirador de Santa Calina, and kilometers outside the Colca Canyon where you can see the condors (Andean sacred birds) in their natural habitat.

We will also visit Puno and take a tour of the highest lake in the world, known as Lake Titicaca (3812 meters above sea level – 12,506.56 feet in height). Here you will take a boat tour passing through the different islands. You will also get the opportunity to spend the night on one of the islands with a local family.

After visiting Lake Titicaca you will take a tour, called the route of the sun, where they will be able to see parts of the pre-Inca culture and also one of the most famous churches of Peru, known as the Sistine Chapel of South America (Andahuaylillas). We will end this portion of our trip as we arrive to Cusco.

Here we begin our next adventure by first exploring the ruins and tourist attractions of the Inca cities including Qenqo, Sacsayhuaman, Pucapucara and Tambomachay, as well as some of the local museums, and the imposing cathedral that is located in the main square of Cusco. Later we will go into the Sacred Valley of the Incas, where we can visit the artisan market of Pisaq, the Ruins of Pisaq and Ollantaytambo. You will learn that Ollantaytambo was very significant during Inca time, as it was the center of Incan Astronomy. We will later travel by train to Aguas Calientes where we will spend the night and save our energy for the next day, when we will be visiting Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu is considered a Cultural Heritage of Humanity and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Here you will have the opportunity to explore approximately 2 hours with our company guide and later you will have additional time for exploring the ruins by yourself. After this trip, we will then return to Cusco in the same way as we arrived.

The next day we will have a free day and furthermore take the flight from Cusco to Lima, to await your next flight.
