Tour
It’s time to board a plane and head to Peru! Once you arrive you’ll be met by a guide and taken to your hotel in Urubamba – in the Sacred Valley of the Incas – to settle in. That evening you’ll enjoy dinner in the underground hotel restaurant which specializes in seasonal produce and excellent wine. You’ll spend your time in this gorgeous part of Peru kayaking and lunching at Lake Huaypo and if you like, an optional quad bike ride with scenic views of snow-capped mountains. You’ll also take a day trip out to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Machu Picchu.

Today you’re off to Cuzco, the chief city of the Inca Empire nestled in the Peruvian Andes. During your time here you’ll visit the 15th century Inca fortress of Sacsayhuaman, another UNESCO World Heritage site. You’ll also swing by the trendy neighborhood of San Blas; wander the cluster of cobblestone streets and pick up a souvenir from the artists selling their handicrafts on the street. Gaze in awe at the mighty cathedral which dominates the main square and took over 100 years to build. You’ll finish the city tour at Coricancha, known as the Temple of the Sun, a once gold-covered and very important Inca temple. After experiencing the Coca Kintu ceremony you’ll head back to your hotel. The next day you’ll enjoy a tour of the local market before checking out the Choco Museum where you can kick back with a delicious hot chocolate.
