Peru: Lima, Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu
A 13-day escorted Peru journey with Machu Picchu, Cusco, Lake Titicaca, the Nazca Lines and internal flights included.
Why This Trip Stands Out
This Peru itinerary goes well beyond a quick Machu Picchu stop. It connects Lima, the Sacred Valley, Cusco, Lake Titicaca, the Nazca Lines and the Ballestas Islands in one escorted journey, with internal flights included.
- Two visits to Machu Picchu.
- Vistadome train through the Sacred Valley.
- Cusco, Sacsayhuaman and Ollantaytambo.
- Lake Titicaca and the Uros Islands.
- Nazca Lines flight and Ballestas Islands wildlife experience.
Sample Itinerary
Days 1–4 | Lima & the Sacred Valley
Begin in Lima, then continue into the Sacred Valley for Incan sites, local culture and mountain scenery.
Days 5–7 | Machu Picchu & Cusco
Travel by panoramic train to Machu Picchu, enjoy guided exploration, then continue to Cusco with more time among major Incan landmarks.
Days 8–10 | Lake Titicaca
Travel into the high Andes for Lake Titicaca, local communities and scenic cruising.
Days 11–13 | Nazca, Ballestas Islands & Lima
Finish with a flight over the Nazca Lines, coastal wildlife around the Ballestas Islands and a return to Lima.
