About this trip
Six days across Peru, taking in colonial cities, archaeological sites and dramatic landscapes on the way to Machu Picchu.
This is a partially guided trip, so you'll have guided visits to the major sites alongside some time to explore on your own.
A good fit for families or groups wanting a compact introduction to Peru's history and scenery without a long itinerary.
What you'll do
- Explore colonial-era cities
- Visit archaeological sites along the route
- Take in landscapes on the journey through Peru
- Reach the Machu Picchu citadel and mountain
- Partially guided — expect a mix of led visits and free time
- Six days is a fairly compact pace for covering cities, ruins and Machu Picchu
- Suited to families and groups
Worth it if you're fit enough for steep Inca stone climbing and can handle relentless early starts. Think twice if you need rest days or have mobility concerns.
- Guides consistently exceptional—knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely invested in making your experience memorable.
- Seamless logistics with staff meeting you at every point; mostly private tours mean you're not herded with crowds.
- Exhausting pace with constant early wake-ups and back-to-back days; marketing claim 'good for 99 year olds' seriously misleading given steep, uneven climbing.
- Machu Picchu itself demands substantial climbing over rounded stones without handrails—physically demanding regardless of fitness level.
