Day 1
Lima – Airport Arrival and Sunset Dinner
Sparkling shorelines beckon travelers from all over the world to the picturesque city of Lima. Gulls may hover over deep blue waters, hoping for the perfect catch, and couples will lay out blankets as they soak up the sun and dip their toes into the Pacific Ocean. As you and your family coast down the tarmac of Jorge Chávez International Airport, you will be met with the tantalizing aromas of Peru's citrusy ceviche. The cool ocean breeze will wash over you as you deplane, and soon, you will meet your private transfer who will wind you through city streets to your luxurious accommodation. Your car will bump along cobbled streets as you appreciate the alluring architecture, which is a unique blend of ancient and post-colonial styles. Along the coast, skyscrapers punctuate the city skyline, and just minutes inland, ancient stone temples lay in hiding.
Before long, you will arrive at your luxurious hotel in the heart of Miraflores. This opulent neighborhood is home to modern design, prestigious restaurants, upscale apartments, and breathtaking vistas. Together, you and your family can stroll through the picturesque Parque del Amor as sunset warms the evening sky. Then, you will choose from a plethora of authentic dining options with boastful seaside views. Your waiter will offer you a delectable choice of pickled escabeche or perfectly seasoned lomo saltado and a frothy glass of pisco sour to commemorate the first night of your jam-packed family adventure in Peru.

Fantastic!!!! I can't say enough good things about this trip. Zicasso's travel partner did an excellent job at everything! Communication was excellent, our tours were perfect, and our guides and drivers were so helpful.
The guides were beyond our expectations with their knowledge, flexibility, and always going above and beyond. I ended up in the hospital and our guide came to the hospital and helped with all the details, getting me a refund on parts of my bill and getting us to our flight home in less than three hours from being released from the hospital!!

From the first communication, Zicasso's travel partner listened to our hopes for the trip (multiple locations, epic adventures, keeping teenagers engaged) and crafted a perfect itinerary. Every aspect of the trip was seamless, with the best tours and the best guides, and perfectly appointed hotels.
Our trip coordinator was super-accessible and helpful before and during the trip for any questions that came up. She had great recommendations and insights that we appreciated as first-timers to Peru. She even came by mid-week to say hello, which was an incredible surprise and so wonderful to get to meet her in person!
When one of our return flights home was cancelled, she quickly pivoted and took care of everything to ensure we could still enjoy our last day without stress. The whole family is still talking about the trip and I am so grateful to our trip coordinator for helping us to create a lifetime of incredible memories!
