Love a good mystery? This 8-day vacation to Peru is the perfect escape to delve into the world’s most intriguing lost and found story. Featuring not one, but two days behind the misty gates of Machu Picchu, this below-the-equator tour takes you high into the Andes and deeper inside the Lost City of the Incas to unearth its centuries-old secrets. Navigating the cryptic maze of trails, temples, and terraces in the world’s most famous forgotten city is one for the memory books. Other great finds on this tantalizing tour of Peru? Up-close encounters with llamas, alpacas, and other Sacred Valley locals; vibrant, handwoven textiles in the former Inca Empire capital of Cusco; bold, multicultural cuisine in the foodie capital of Lima; and a warm welcome inside a traditional family home for an authentic taste of Peruvian hospitality.

Countries Visited

Peru

  1. Day 1
    ARRIVE IN LIMA, PERU
    Welcome to the modern city of Lima!
    Upon arrival, you will be met by your Globus representative.


  2. Day 2
    LIMA
    Legendary Lima
    This afternoon, your Local Guide focuses on the city’s colonial heritage during a walking tour. Start at the Plaza de Armas to see the Government Palace and the cathedral. From here, stroll to the venerable San Francisco Monastery with its splendid 17th-century cloister murals. For a special treat, [LF] stop at a local food market to get a real taste of life for the local people. This evening, enjoy dinner at one of Lima’s Peruvian restaurants with your fellow travel companions. (B,D)

    LOCAL FAVORITE
    LOCAL TASTES Stop for a real taste of Peru at a local market. Sample some of the local fruits and vegetable that aren’t found in other parts of the world. You can also find spices, meats, seafood, and even a souvenir or two. And you’ll definitely want to take some photos of the beautiful, brightly hued displays.



    Meals:   Breakfast   Dinner
  3. Day 3
    LIMA–CUSCO–SACRED VALLEY
    Empire of the Andes
    Fly to Cusco, the impressive Andean city that was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Head into the Sacred Valley of the Incas and visit the semi-circular Kenko Amphitheater with its stone altars and labyrinth of passages and see the ancient site of Puca Pucara. Also, in the Sacred Valley, experience an [LF] El Pago a la Tierra, or Mother Earth Ceremony, performed by a local shaman. Meet local families who preserve the ancient technique of Pre-Columbian weaving using South American camelid fleece. This is your chance to get up close to the various camelids, including alpaca, llama, guanaco, and vicuña, indigenous to the region. Continue to Pisaq, an old mountain village, where you will have free time to shop for local wares, such as alpaca sweaters and blankets, jewelry, or hand-painted ornamental dishes and vases at its famous market. Stay in the Sacred Valley tonight, with dinner at the hotel. (B,L,D)

    LOCAL FAVORITE
    CULTURE & TRADITION Feel the earth, smell the coca leaves, and taste the chicha today as you make payment to Mother Earth. Participate in an [LF] El Pago a la Tierra, an ancient ceremony led by a shaman thanking Mother Earth and asking for good health, wealth, and safe travels. These mystical ceremonies have been practiced in Peru since before the arrival of the Incas.



    Meals:   Breakfast   Lunch   Dinner
  4. Day 4
    SACRED VALLEY–MACHU PICCHU
    Mystery on the Mountain
    This morning, visit the Inca Fortress of Ollantaytambo, followed by [LF] a visit to a local home, meet some of the area’s families, and experience their way of life in the Sacred Valley. Then, board the Vistadome train for a scenic journey through the lush Urubamba Valley. Upon arrival, ascend the mountainside to legendary Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas.” Your Local Guide will introduce this intact fortress with its temple remains, holy houses, and mile-long aqueduct, and will bring you closer to the mysteries still hidden in these amazing structures. Tonight, you may wish to try a Pisco Sour (a traditional Peruvian cocktail) or an Inka Kola, before the included dinner. (B,D)

    LOCAL FAVORITE
    TIMELESS TRADITIONS Today, you are invited into a local family’s home in the Sacred Valley. Learn about their traditions like weaving that has been passed down for centuries from ancestors. See how they cook, live, sleep, work, and maybe ask about the cuy (Guinea pigs) they keep in their house.



    Meals:   Breakfast   Dinner
  5. Day 5
    MACHU PICCHU–CUSCO
    Here Comes the Sun
    A morning at leisure in Machu Picchu allows you to wake up early to see the sunrise over Machu Picchu with your second included entrance to the ruins. After lunch at a local restaurant, return to the Sacred Valley by train and continue to Cusco. (B,L)

    TOUR HIGHLIGHT
    HISTORY & MYSTERY Staying overnight in Machu Picchu allows you to get up early and experience the ruins at their most pristine before the crowds arrive. Watch as the mist slowly burns off and the sun rays illuminate the ruins. While you are there, you may even want to try and get a selfie with one of the local llamas or alpacas!



    Meals:   Breakfast   Lunch
  6. Day 6
    CUSCO
    Sun Worship & Spanish Conquests
    On your guided sightseeing tour of Cusco today, learn more about the Inca and Spanish influence. Begin at the heart of Cusco in the Plaza de Armas (main square), with a visit to the imposing Cathedral, where construction began in 1550 and was finally completed 100 years later. Join a traditional [LF] Pasacalle through the streets of Cusco before continuing to Koricancha and the Santo Domingo Monastery and see how the two sites have become one. The Temple of the Sun at Koricancha was once the most important Inca site, dedicated to the worship of the Sun. The walls, altars, and decorations were all said to be covered in gold—until the Spaniards looted the temple and then built the contrasting Baroque Santo Domingo Monastery on top of the temple’s foundations. Also visit the Temple of Sacsayhuaman, perched on a hillside overlooking Cusco. It remains unfathomable how and when this fortress of gigantic stones—with some blocks weighing more than 350 tons—was built. This evening, your Tour Director hosts a festive farewell dinner at a local restaurant. (B,D)

    LOCAL FAVORITE
    CULTURE & TRADITION A special treat is in store for you when you are greeted by a group of Andean musicians dressed in vibrant Inca textiles. They will escort you on a Pasacalle (Andean Parade) through Cusco while playing traditional music and performing ancient dances—an experience you won’t soon forget!



    Meals:   Breakfast   Dinner

Questions & Answers
  Ask A Question

Question: a few years ago when we went to the top of Pikes Peak, I experienced bad dizziness at the top. Would that happen in Cusco?

Cusco is at an altitude of 11,000. You should consult your doctor before traveling.

Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?

Each person is allowed one "check-in," and one "carry-on." Remember to take all valuables with you as "carry-on", because electronic equipment, cameras, laptops, jewelry, business documents and money are not covered by the airlines' liability, so always carry them aboard with you.

Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?

Airfare from your point of origin to and from the trip is not included in the land price.

Globus did a great job with the tour. However in the future I would recommend a little gap in the intensity of the days activities and the one nights in several hotels. This posed to be quite exhausting. Overall they did a great job and delivered on what was promised Thank you .

Globus/Monograms delivered as expected. The pre and post parts were managed by Monograms. and we were met at every change of locations by an escort. However there were some hiccups not within the control of Affordable tours. On arrival in Lima at 9:30 pm, I was advised that the location of the Amazon lodge had been changed. It was because of civil unrest at the original location and the change was justified. However, they had to know 2 to 3 days in advance, and did not notify me. The new arrangements were great but could not have been made in the one day while I was traveling. Upon return to Lima for the main tour, the guide for the main portion did not know of the Amazon change.--- Also, when I arrived in Quito I was given incomplete and inaccurate written information on the Galapagos portion. I was met at the Galapagos Airport by Kline Tour representatives of the ship, none had a Globus sign as advised. No information on the flight from the islands to Guayquil was provided, the ship had to call others to find what our flight was. The paperwork given to me in Quito listed a different hotel in Guayguil than the one on the original schedule, but that was incorrect, we were taken to the Hilton as scheduled. My cabin on the ship was unpleasant. It was designed as a single, but had two twin beds which left six inches between the bed and the hull of the ship opn one side and mothering on the other. I had to crawl on the bed from the foot. There was no place to store my large suitcase. So, left it out on the second bed, which was against a wall on one side and the 2nd bed (that I slept in on) the other side. The ships phone was on the porthole ledge, no table or chair in the cable. It also was on the lowest deck for passengers. Below me was a two deck space for the ships engines, They were so loud as to limit use of the TV. The next cabin size was a junior suite that was much better and if given the choice, I would have paid extra for the upgrade. Hotels in both countries DO NOT HAVE HEAT, only AC. Take warm sleeping clothes. Two hotels provide small electric heaters (shaped like radiators), The Hilton Guayguil suggested I turn of the fan for the room AC and open the Window. That worked!! I am out of room to add more. But, Good Trip!!

Fantastic experience of not only place/geography, but of people/culture. Peru Splendor was quite physical in terms of activity..walking & climbing.... we loved it. Our tour director and his associates were professional, helpful and kind. They really were very informative and they really cared for our concerns.

Peruvian food was delicious! Hotel rooms were also good. The way the trip is planned (short stop in highest elevation of Cusco, then lower elevations before back to Cusco for 2 nights) helped us all adjust to the altitude. Though it was still tough climbing up steps! Drink lots and lots of water. All our guides spoke good English and got us where we needed to go.
