About the trip

This G Adventures small group tour opens in Lima, where morning cycling through Miraflores and Barranco introduces you to the city's blend of Pacific coast views and colonial architecture. The pace picks up with an internal flight to Cusco, a city where Inca and Spanish influences mingle in steep cobbled streets and lively markets.

You spend the bulk of the trip exploring the Sacred Valley, where terraced ruins like Pisaq and Ollantaytambo rise from mountain slopes, often accompanied by local artisans’ ceramics. A hike near Perolilloq waterfall offers some air outside the towns. The journey includes a train trip to Machu Picchu, where the itinerary follows one of the three circuits set to manage visitor numbers, culminating with lunch at Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge.

All included transport and guided tours aim to smooth the transfers, though altitude and occasional power cuts call for patience. Local guides and a Chief Experience Officer accompany the tour for background and practicalities throughout. No claims of a perfect visit here — just the essentials for a decent look at Peru's Andes within a compact itinerary.
