About this trip
Seven days across Peru's headline sights, from the desert oasis of Huacachina to the ruins of Machu Picchu, with domestic flights bridging the distances so you spend more time seeing things than sitting on buses.
You'll cover the Ballestas Islands, Cusco, the Sacred Valley and a choice of high-altitude hikes before finishing at Machu Picchu itself. It's a lot of ground in a short time, but the route is built to work efficiently rather than rush you unnecessarily.
This one suits travellers who want the big names ticked off without planning the logistics themselves, including over Christmas and New Year if that's when you're free.
What you'll do
- Boat out to the Ballestas Islands to see the coastal wildlife
- Try sandboarding or a dune buggy ride at the Huacachina oasis
- Explore the Sacred Valley's Incan sites
- Choose a hike to Rainbow Mountain, Humantay Lake, or the salt pans and terraces of Maras and Moray
- Reach Machu Picchu, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World
- Fast-paced — seven days covers coast, desert, mountains and jungle-edge terrain
- You pick one add-on hike (Rainbow Mountain, Humantay Lake, or Maras & Moray) rather than doing all three
- Domestic flights are included, cutting down on long overland transfers
