Lima, Nazca & Machu Picchu

Seven days across Peru's coast and highlands, moving from Lima to the desert coastline of Paracas, over the Nazca Lines, and up into the Andes for Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.

It's a fast introduction to the country's range — ocean and desert first, then altitude and Inca history — with a guide leading you through each stop rather than working it out yourself.

Good for a first trip to Peru if you want the well-known sights covered in a single guided run rather than months of planning.
