Your luxury Peru vacation begins in Cusco, believed to be the most impressive pre-conquest city in the Americas. Visit the pre-Hispanic and colonial city which served as the capital of the Inca Empire, and the spectacular Machu Picchu, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, as well as numerous other archaeological sites. It is strongly encouraged to spend extra time in these extraordinary destinations to gain a more complete understanding of Inca culture and the Peruvian highlands.
Flying north to Ecuador, you will visit the Galapagos Islands. The beautiful islands are isolated nearly 600 mi (1,000 km) off the Ecuador coast. In the Galapagos, whether on land or sea, there is always a surprise of nature lurking around every corner: giant tortoises grunting in distant highlands, prehistoric marine iguanas hissing and spiting sprays of salt, pink flamingos adorning the shores of hidden lagoons, or flightless cormorants and tiny penguins darting amongst colorful schools of fish, while elegant tropical birds glide through deep blue skies. With such a variety of unique flora and fauna it is difficult to do justice to the ‘Galapagos Experience’ with words alone. The only way to fully appreciate all the Galapagos has to offer is to see it for yourself.
Between Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Galapagos, this customizable vacation offers some of the most exciting destinations in all of South America with a touch of luxury.

Day 1: Arrival to Cusco & City Tour
- Upon arrival, you will be collected at the Cusco airport and taken by private transfer to your luxury Cusco hotel where you will be able to rest and acclimatize to the altitude.
- In the early afternoon you will head out on your private Cusco City Tour and visit some of the many amazing archaeological sites and wonders in and around the city. Included in the tour are the Cathedral, located on the Plaza de Armas, Cusco’s main square, as well as Sacsayhuaman, Q'enko, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay.
- You will return to your hotel in the late afternoon and have the remainder of the day to spend at your leisure, either resting at your hotel, or exploring the city on your own. Try the delicious local cuisine and enjoy the hospitality of the inhabitants of Cusco.
Day 2: Sacred Valley Tour
- After an early breakfast at your hotel, you will embark on a journey into the famous Sacred Valley of the Incas. As you wind through the Andean mountain tops, you will see echoes of the traditional lifestyles that have remained unchanged for more than 500 years. Many people proudly wear traditional clothing, cook in clay fire ovens and utilize many of the irrigation techniques developed over half a millennia ago. The drive from Cusco is not very long and on the way you will see some typical Andean villages and scenery. Upon descent into the Sacred Valley you will arrive in the area the Inca revered for its lush fertile soils and advanced agricultural methods.
- You will then ride along the Urubamba River for a short trip to the beautiful town of Pisac. Here you will have the opportunity to visit the lively local market, the largest in the area, and enjoy the beautiful handicrafts on sale. This town also has some very interesting small architectural elements which make this town a gem of the Sacred Valley.
- Next you will visit the impressive ruins of Ollantaytambo. These magnificent ancient ruins look out as outposts over the valley and offer an incredible view of the entire Valley. Originally the royal estate of Emperor Pachacuti during the Inca Empire, it later served as a stronghold for Manco Inca Yupanqui in the Inca´s final rebellion against the Spanish.
- In the evening you will return to your Cusco hotel where you will once again be given the opportunity to spend the evening at your leisure in one of the many fine restaurants or bars available in the area.
Day 3: Machu Picchu Tour
- After breakfast at your hotel, you will take the train in luxury class to the hidden temple of the Incas: Machu Picchu. The train ride is an attraction in itself as much of the ride winds along the river and mountain with dramatic views of the Andes as you pass through abundant cloud forests. The foliage dramatically changes as you ride towards the meeting point of the Andes and the Amazon rainforest providing visitors a real sense of how much this country really as to offer.
- Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will be taken with a private transfer to the ruins of Machu Picchu. Once you arrive in Machu Picchu, you will begin your private guided tour of this breathtaking site. If you decide to spend the night in this area (highly recommended) you will have another chance to visit the ruins early the next day. After your tour you can wander the many trails that lead to the main site or head into town. In the event you choose to stay in Aguas Calientes overnight, you can use the evening to relax in the nearby hot springs. Otherwise you will return to the station in the mid-afternoon for the luxury class train back to Cusco and transfer back to your hotel.
Day 4: Departure from Cusco & arrival to Quito
- Following breakfast, you will be privately transferred to the airport for your flight to Lima and onto Quito. You will be picked up at the airport by a Peru Luxury Travel representative and taken to your luxury Quito hotel.
- In the evening you will receive a briefing for your Galapagos cruise and have the rest of the evening to enjoy at your leisure.
Day 5: Quito Departure & Galapagos Cruise
- After eating a delectable breakfast at your fine Quito hotel, you will be taken to the airport for your flight to the stunning Galapagos Islands.
- Upon arrival in the Galapagos you will be picked up at the airport to begin your cruise on a first class Galapagos Cruise Ship.
Day 6, 7 & 8: Galapagos Cruise
- The Galapagos Cruise will allow some of the best wildlife viewing in the world. The many species of interesting animals leaves you with many possibilites. For example, the famous blue-footed boobie may perform its awkwardly elegant two-stepped mating dance. Sea lions may playfully swim figure eights to show off their swimming prowress as you snorkel among them. The tropical penguins may use your snorkeling body to hide behind so they can sneak up on schools of tasty fish. Be sure to bring plenty of film, battery packs, and memory cards because this cruise through the Galapagos will have many kodak moments.
Day 9: Departure from Galapagos
- After your next cruise you will be transferred to the airport for your flight home or to continue to your next South American destination.
