Detailed Description

This custom tailored tour of Peru will take you through the magic that has sparked imaginations and hearts for centuries. Where cities of gold were once rumored and the heart at the depth of the world was once explored. Take your time and your passion to explore the majestic life that fills the Andes and the Amazon. There is no secret to the sensations of Peru but now is your chance to experience it for yourself: the romance, the passion, the beauty, and you. This is the perfect tour for a romantic Peru honeymoon!

Welcome to Lima, the capital of Peru where you can witness the grandeur of the modern city against the backdrop of its Colonial past. The Plaza de Armas contains the grace of the Spanish mixed with the splendor of its reconstruction. Journey through the trendy neighborhood of Miraflores and enjoy a romantic stroll along the beach where the amorous fragrance of citrus brushes along the streets. Once in Cusco you can see how the light gilds the streets making it glitter like a city of gold. The temple of Koricancha, now an imposing and elegant church, was once plated with gold walls. Venture into the depths of the Sacred Valley to visit the incredible villages of Pisac and Ollantaytambo, where the market place is as famous for its colorful textiles and the temple towers along the mountainside overlooking the valley.

A stunning train ride will bring you to the foothills of Machu Picchu. Gracing the sky over the rushing river of the valley you will meander through the stone ruins and have a true experience within the secluded walls of the lost city, where a second morning can bring you to its highest peak or into its isolated temples. Upon your return to Cusco you will explore the city, around the hills and luxuries of the Inca capital, where its splendor can’t help but be showcased. From Cusco you will journey to Iquitos, a city within the Amazon basin, where the opulence of a decadent past continues to shine along the streets. You will board your cruise liner and spend the days discovering the breathtaking brilliance of the pure jungle. From pink dolphins to macaws, enormous water lilies to native substance farmers, and so much more; the luxuries and comforts of the cruise ship are enough to have you snuggled up and watching the sun set over the jungle canopy. Tomorrow will come eventually, but the romance of Peru is here now; there’s no need to wait.

Peru Vacation Review: Amazon, Desert, Dune Buggy Rides,...

Zicasso’s travel agent managed to ensure we were able to see and do all the things on our list, plus more! It was an amazing family adventure. We only had one issue with an airline delay, but she went above and beyond to help us. The guides and drivers were also spectacular.

Peru Family Vacation Review: Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley,...

Zicasso's travel consultant planned the perfect itinerary for our family trip to Peru. She really listened to the types of experiences we wanted to have and absolutely delivered on everything she planned. All of our travel logistics went smoothly, with no issues, hiccups, or delays. She was also very responsive prior to our trip and the few times we reached out during our travels. And the app she used was extremely intuitive and helpful. I would highly recommend Zicasso's tour operator!

Peru, Ecuador Vacation Review: Sacred Valley, Cusco, Machu...

Our trip from start to finish was absolutely fantastic. The Amazon jungle was a blast. I paid for an extra full-day excursion to fish for piranhas, which was definitely a great decision and one of the highlights of our trip (we had the piranhas for lunch, and they were delicious).

The Sacred Valley, Cusco, and Machu Picchu were fabulous. And then, the Galápagos were extraordinary, from the unexpected serenity of the place to the crew of the boat, and, of course, the proximity to wildlife, including snorkeling with sea lions. It was especially meaningful to be in these places with our entire family (10 of us). Everyone understood how special it was and we will all cherish the experience all of our lives.

The Zicasso travel company was fantastic from start to finish. Our travel specialist went far beyond the call of duty to help us, especially when one family members could not make the trip. He helped us with replacing that person with another. He was remarkably prompt, clear, and informative in all communications, both in planning the trip and during it. He has a very kind heart and is a great human being. I cannot say enough positive things about him.

Peru Tour Review: Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Amazon Rainforest,...

My adult daughter and I had the most wonderful trip planned by Zicasso's travel company. Their team was exceptional; educational, on time, and just a pleasure to be with. Our itinerary was just what we were looking for. From Lima to the Amazon Rainforest, Cusco, and ending with Machu Picchu, it was well planned and well executed. We have memories that will last us forever.

Our travel specialist was a pleasure to work with. She listened to our thoughts and improved our experience with her great knowledge of the country, cities, and historical sites we wanted to visit. The travel company exceeded our expectations on every level. Thank you to our specialist and the team she assembled. We now have fantastic memories that will last us forever!

Peru Anniversary Tour Review: Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu,...

Zicasso's travel agent is a phenomenal trip planner and advisor, and he helped make my husband's and my 20th wedding anniversary trip exactly what we were hoping for. He listened to what we were interested in exploring, provided multiple options for tours and activities, and was incredibly responsive, even after we booked the trip. He patiently answered all of our questions and provided excellent recommendations for restaurants.

Furthermore, he paired us with an outstanding tour guide for our time at the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. He even left us a surprise at our hotel on the final leg of our journey! When we go back to visit South America, we will definitely reach out to him!

Peru Tour Review: Cusco, Lima, Machu Picchu, Lares Trail,...

Zicasso's travel specialist was spectacular in every way. From the inception of communication and planning, through arranging for all of our tickets, hotels, transport, and amazing dining experiences, to the incredible support and guides we enjoyed along the way... they were outstanding and we received five-star service.

We were a demanding group of 13, ranging in ages from 17 to over 60, and we all had an absolute blast! We had an absolutely amazing trip. The Lares Trail and Machu Picchu (and our climb up Huayna Picchu) are by far some of the most memorable experiences we've ever had.

Our guide and driver were awesome... kind, professional, and accommodating, and our guide especially was very knowledgeable, with so much respect and love for the surrounding nature and culture.

Our travel specialist was timely, attentive, and responsive to all of our requests, and helped us collectively achieve one of the greatest vacations we have ever experienced.

They were 100% accurate in terms of how to prepare us for the altitude and allow us enough time to acclimatize in Cusco (and with a great, long, mountain bike ride at high elevation). Our specialist provided excellent recommendations for how to fill some additional time in Cusco while we acclimated. We loved touring Cusco itself, and seeing Sacsayhuaman, several spots in the Sacred Valley, and the Maras Salt Mines were all unforgettable experiences. We also loved the hotel she had us at in Cusco. It was a great spot to be able to explore the city on our own time.

After seeing all of the coordination, especially for the Lares Trail and Machu Picchu, we're so relieved we chose to go through Zicasso for this trip and were connected with our travel specialist and her company. Everything was well planned and thought out, and if anything was not right, they sought to immediately correct it. Our guide was on top of every detail and it was great knowing our agent was just a text or phone call away.
