The complete multi-region journey. Paracas desert, Colca condors, Lake Titicaca, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu & Tambopata Amazon with boutique comfort.
For accommodations in Cusco's historic center with vehicle access, our tourist transport arrives as close as legally permitted. Due to Cusco's colonial pedestrian alleys, if your hotel is on a narrow stone walkway, we wait at the nearest corner (usually 1/2 to 1 block away). We coordinate with you via WhatsApp/phone in advance, and our assistant welcomes you at the vehicle.
Lodging outside the center? If your hotel or Airbnb is outside the historic center perimeter, meeting is coordinated at a central landmark (such as Plaza Regocijo).
Need dedicated walking escort right to your door or pickup outside the historic center? Select Boutique Private in the booking card above.
Designed specifically for families, private affinity groups, and international agency charters seeking an unhurried, deeply authentic journey without physical exhaustion or rough camping. Unlike mass-market packages that cram grueling multi-day backpacking or 11-hour overnight buses, this itinerary follows a clinically sound physiological acclimatization curve: starting at sea level in Lima, ascending gently to colonial Arequipa (2,325m) and the Colca Valley, crossing the Altiplano to Lake Titicaca (3,812m), and stepping down into the oxygen-rich Sacred Valley (2,870m) before visiting Machu Picchu. Conclude with a domestic flight into the biodiversity capital of Tambopata National Reserve, enjoying handpicked 3-star superior and boutique eco-lodges, private Mercedes/Hyundai tourist vans, panoramic Vistadome train cars, and dedicated collegiate licensed guides throughout.
