| Itinerary |
Day 1 LimaWelcome to Peru! Plaza Mayor, in Lima's historic centre, the ideal place to begin an exploration of the city's churches, palaces and ornate colonial mansions. Try the local seafood specialty - ceviche. Days 2-3 Amazon JungleThe call of exotic birds and dense jungle awaits. Learn about the Amazon's complex ecosystem on a hike with a local guide. Days 4-5 CuzcoBecome acquainted with Cuzco on a stroll around the city centre. Cuzco is a melting pot of Spanish and Inca influences, rich in history and legend. Visit a coca tea shop - tasting included - then haggle for wares at the colourful San Pedro market. Top off the stay here with a trip out to the archaeological sites of Qenqo, Tambomachay and Sacsayhuaman. Day 6 Sacred Valley/OllantaytamboSee woolly llamas, and locals dressed in brightly-coloured traditional clothes on a trip through the spectacularly terraced Sacred Valley. Stay overnight in the ancient Inca town of Ollantaytambo and visit its fortress, which played a crucial role in Inca history. Day 7 Aguas CalientesReach the mountain village of Aguas Calientes by train. Spend free time soaking in the natural hot springs or take an optional sneak peek of Machu Picchu. Days 8-9 Machu Picchu/CuzcoEnjoy a guided tour of Machu Picchu and be sure to have cameras ready - these ruins are seriously photogenic. Return to Cuzco for more sightseeing. The cathedral - built on the foundations of an Inca palace - is well worth a visit. Why not have lunch at Aldea Yanapay Cafe? All proceeds go towards helping Cuzco's underprivileged kids.
