Lima City + Larco Museum Tour

Begin your tour with a view of the Pacific Ocean. The drive will take you through the modern districts of Miraflores and San Isidro. On the way, you’ll get to admire the Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Incan ceremonial temple in the shape of a pyramid that is located amidst Lima’s urban area.

Next, you’ll visit the historic center of Lima, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. During this part of the tour, you’ll stroll through the area that was once the heart of the Spanish Colony in the 16th century. Here, you’ll also visit the Santo Domingo Convent, where you can witness the relics of three Peruvian saints: Santa Rosa de Lima, San Martin de Porres, and San Juan Macías.

Afterward, we’ll head to the district of Pueblo Libre, where you’ll visit the Larco Museum. This museum houses the world’s finest and most comprehensive collection of pre-Hispanic gold and silver artifacts from Peru. It’s also known for its visible storage, which contains 30,000 cataloged ancient pottery pieces, as well as its erotic gallery.

Begin in the UNESCO-recognized historic center. Visit the majestic Cusco Cathedral and the Qoricancha or Temple of the Sun. Then drive into the countryside to see the ruins of Sacsayhuaman and Qenko.

Blessed by a rich history and stunning scenery, Cusco never fails to impress. Whether you crave outdoor adventure or simply want to learn more about the city’s pre-Colonial past, I’d be happy to share some ideas.

Dag 8:

Rondleiding door de Heilige Vallei

De Heilige Vallei was het spirituele centrum van het Inca-rijk, waar almachtige keizers privélandgoederen, tempels, vestingwerken en duizenden landbouwterrassen bouwden.

Ga met je gids mee op een tocht door de bijzondere plekken van de Heilige Vallei. Verken de ruïnes van Pisac en bezoek de beroemde ambachtsmarkt op het dorpsplein. Beklim de torens van het fort Ollantaytambo en dwaal door de met stenen bestrate straatjes van het dorp, waar het water nog steeds door door de Inca's aangelegde kanalen stroomt.

Dag 9:

Chinchero Maras & Moray Tour

Leave the lively Hotel in Urubamba, and set out to discover some of the cultural highlights and Inca masterpieces in the Sacred Valley. Departing from Urubamba in the morning with your guide and fellow travelers, the tour begins with a scenic drive to the town of Chinchero. Here, visit the locally run Textile Center to learn about the region’s longstanding weaving traditions and have time to shop for souvenirs. Next, head to the striking Moray archaeological complex and learn how the circular farming terraces served the Incas as their large agricultural laboratory. A visit to the famous salt mines of Maras is the final stop on the tour. Fed by a saltwater brook, the 3,000 plus shallow pools built along a hillside in the Sacred Valley is a sight to behold. Later, return and drop off in Urubamba.

Dag 10:

Trein naar Aguas Calientes

Today, our transportation service will pick you up at your hotel and take you to the Ollantaytambo train station (approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes by car). Upon your arrival in Ollantaytambo, you will board the train to Aguas Calientes. Our transfer service will be waiting for you at the train station to take you to your hotel. Later, our knowledgeable guide will visit you at your hotel to discuss the plan for the next day.

Dag 11:

Rondreis door Machu Picchu

Gedurende 400 jaar bleef de "verloren stad van de Inca's" verborgen op een bergkam, totdat ze in 1911 aan de wereld werd onthuld in het tijdschrift National Geographic.

Your day begins with an early morning train, followed by a bus transfer up to the ruins. Your tour guide will lead you on an unforgettable walk through Machu Picchu’s stone-lined paths, along the terrace edges, to the base of structures that testify to the extraordinary skill of its builders.

Nadat je nog wat laatste foto's hebt gemaakt, neem je de shuttlebus terug naar de stad en ga je naar het treinstation voor je terugreis naar Cusco.

Optioneel: Beklim Huayna Picchu voor een panoramisch uitzicht over de ruïnes, of maak de Machu Picchu-bergwandeling om te genieten van het omliggende landschap. De vergunningen zijn beperkt en moeten van tevoren worden gereserveerd, dus laat het ons zo snel mogelijk weten als je de uitdaging wilt aangaan.
