About this trip
This 10-day route through southern Peru takes you from the coast up into the Andes, covering the country's big-hitters without rushing past any of them. You'll move from Lima's energy to the high-altitude calm of Arequipa and Lake Titicaca, before finishing in Cusco and Machu Picchu.
Expect a mix of landscapes and history: canyon views, floating islands, colonial cities, and Inca ruins, all guided throughout so you're not working out logistics yourself.
It's built as a full introduction to the region — culture, nature and history in one go — rather than a deep dive into any single place.
What you'll do
- Explore Lima before heading inland
- Take in the scale of Colca Canyon from Arequipa
- Sail Lake Titicaca to the Uros floating islands and Taquile
- Cross Andean landscapes en route to Cusco
- Visit Inca sites scattered through the Sacred Valley
- Walk Machu Picchu itself
- Moderate pace with several changes of altitude, from coastal Lima to high-altitude Arequipa, Titicaca and Cusco
- Covers a lot of ground in 10 days, so it suits travellers who want breadth over lingering in one spot
- Fully guided throughout, including flights and transfers between regions
