About the trip

This G Adventures small-group escorted tour starts in Lima, where a private curator-led visit to Museo Larco offers insights into 5,000 years of Peruvian history. From the capital, an internal flight delivers you to Cusco, once the Inca Empire's capital, where an orientation walk and an expert-led city tour reveal colonial and Andean culture alike.

The journey continues in the Sacred Valley, a fertile stretch of land with ruins at Pisac and Ollantaytambo, where ancient agricultural terraces stand alongside modern farming. A farm-to-table lunch and a corn lecture complement the archaeological visits. Then there is a guided tour of Machu Picchu, accessed by train, with pre-selected circuits designed to manage visitor flow — all revealing the engineering ingenuity of the Lost City of the Incas.

Throughout, you'll meet local artisans, including a women's weaving cooperative, and share meals like the Nuna Raymi potato experience dinner, reflecting Peru's native produce. Travel between destinations by private vehicle, public bus, train, and plane, with the option for independent exploration during free time. At days’ end, small hotels provide a chance to rest before the next phase of discovery.
