About this trip
A quick sweep through Peru's headline sights in five days, covering Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu without lingering too long in any one place.
You start in Lima, taking in the history, colonial architecture and food scene, before moving on to Cusco to explore its archaeological sites and the surrounding highland scenery. The trip ends with the main event: Machu Picchu itself.
This is a guaranteed-departure tour, so it runs regardless of numbers, and it's partially guided, mixing led sightseeing with time to explore on your own.
