Detailed Description

Your two-week long journey to the birthplace of the Inca Empire is sure to be a whirlwind of an adventure. As you and your family descend on one of the most diverse countries in the world, you will uncover fascinating cultures and unparalleled landscapes. Travel by plane, train, boat, and even a thrilling zipline ride as you traverse the coastal planes, rugged mountain peaks, serene valleys, and dense jungles of this remarkable country.

You will start your journey in Lima, which is the nation’s bustling capital. Soon, make your way south to the desert oasis of Huacachina and put your footwork to the test as you learn to sandboard. Later, venture to one of the most remote corners of the world: the Amazon. It is an idyllic place to check out rare and native species. You will also get a chance to visit a rainforest conservation center where you will zipline past macaws in the canopy layer high above. After a short overnight trip to the southeast city of Puno, you will embark on a day-long cruise around Lake Titicaca and discover its curious “floating islands.”

Over the next few days, you will settle in at the former capital of the Inca Empire. Cusco’s rich blend of indigenous Andean culture mixed with Spanish colonialism of the 1500s and 1600s make for truly amazing architectural design. Next, wind your way through the Sacred Valley as you unearth details about ancient agricultural practices, military expertise, and spiritual beliefs of the Andean people. The climax of this trip takes place at the ruins of Machu Picchu among the seven of the new world wonders, which is the crown atop Peru’s countless sparkling gems.  Don’t take just our word for it - consider reading some of our travelers’ reviews of Peru, and see how you can customize your own dream vacation.
