Inca Journey

Lima → Cusco 7 days Up to 16

About this trip

Seven days through Peru's Inca heartland, taking in the country's best-known archaeological sites without rushing between them. You start in Lima before heading up into the Andes, where the pace slows to match the altitude.

Cusco and the Sacred Valley give you time to understand the Inca Empire before you reach Machu Picchu itself, high above the valley floor. It's an easy-going, partially guided trip suited to families or anyone wanting the classics done properly rather than fast.

What you'll do

  • Explore Lima's historic centre
  • Visit Cusco, former capital of the Inca Empire
  • Discover archaeological sites across the Sacred Valley
  • Visit Machu Picchu high in the Andes
Good to know
  • Easy pace, suited to families and first-time visitors to Peru
  • Partially guided, so some days are at your own pace
  • Altitude in Cusco and the Sacred Valley means an easy pace is genuinely useful, not just a nicety
