Arrival & Acclimatisation
Welcome to PeruLand at Lima International Airport, where our representative will be waiting to welcome you and take you to the hotel in Miraflores. Check in, drop your bags and let it sink in: Andes to Rio has officially begun. 🇵🇪
✨ TODAY’S MOOD
Land. Breathe. ¡Hola, Perú!The rest of the day is deliberately easy. Rest after the long journey, take a walk along the Miraflores clifftops above the Pacific, or try your first Peruvian ceviche.
💡 WHY TODAY IS EASY
It’s a long way to South America. Today, you just need to arrive properly and get over the jet lag.🏨 TONIGHT’S STAY

Discover Lima
After breakfast, around 9 am, our guide takes us out to discover Lima, Peru’s capital on the Pacific. We start in Miraflores with a stroll through the Park of Love, perched on the cliffs above the ocean.
✨ TODAY’S MOOD
Ocean views. Colonial streets. Secrets underground.Then it’s into the Historic Centre of Lima, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to see the Main Square, the City Hall and the Cathedral, before we head beneath the San Francisco Monastery to explore its centuries-old catacombs. The afternoon is free to rest, shop or find a good café in Miraflores.
💡 TIP FOR TODAY
Lima is one of the food capitals of the world. Use your free afternoon to try ceviche, lomo saltado or a pisco sour (or a fresh chicha morada if you skip alcohol).🏨 TONIGHT’S STAY

Journey to the Andes
After breakfast we check out and fly from Lima to Cusco, high in the Andes. Our representative meets us at the airport, and we drive through spectacular mountain scenery down into the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
✨ TODAY’S MOOD
Fly high. Go slow. Hello, Andes.Along the way, watch for traditional villages, green valleys and snow-capped peaks. We check in to our hotel in the valley, and the rest of the day is yours to relax and settle in.
💡 WHY THE VALLEY FIRST?
The Sacred Valley sits lower than Cusco, which makes it a gentler place to get used to the altitude. Drink plenty of water, take it easy today and try a cup of coca tea, the local remedy.🏨 TONIGHT’S STAY
Taypikala Luxury Hotel or similar, Sacred Valley -
Sacred Valley of the Incas
A full day exploring the Sacred Valley. We begin at an alpaca farm to meet these fluffy Andean favourites and learn how their wool is spun and woven, then visit Chinchero, a traditional village famous for its textiles and Inca ruins.
✨ TODAY’S MOOD
Alpacas, salt and stone. The Incas knew what they were doing.Next come the Maras Salt Mines, thousands of shimmering salt pools stepped down the mountainside, and Moray, where circular Inca terraces are believed to have been an ancient farming laboratory. We end at Ollantaytambo, with its giant stone terraces and charming old streets, before returning to our hotel.
💡 TIP FOR TODAY
Pick up some pink salt from Maras and a hand-woven piece from Chinchero. They’re two of the best souvenirs you’ll find in Peru.🏨 TONIGHT’S STAY
Taypikala Luxury Hotel or similar, Sacred Valley -
All Aboard to Machu Picchu

✨ TODAY’S MOOD
Window seat. River below. Mountains everywhere.We arrive in Aguas Calientes, the little town at the foot of Machu Picchu, and check in to our hotel. The rest of the day is free: visit the Manuel Chávez Ballón Site Museum, wander the market, or soak in the town’s hot springs.

Afterwards we take the bus back down to Aguas Calientes for lunch, collect our bags and board the train back. On arrival, we transfer to our hotel in Cusco.

✨ TODAY’S MOOD
Pack. Hug. Promise to come back.From an Inca city in the clouds to the beaches of Brazil. Strangers on Day 1, travel sisters by Day 11. Andes to Rio ends here, but the group chat definitely doesn’t.
