Peru In-Style (5 Day Program)

Day 1: Welcome to Lima, Peru

On arrival, you'll be warmly greeted and chauffeured to your choice of luxury hotel. All have been carefully selected for their prime heart-of-it-all locations here in the lively capital.

Day 2: Discover Lima #WHS#

After a leisurely breakfast, your car, driver and guide will be waiting to show you Lima's highlights - starting at the Plaza Mayor in the historic heart of the city. Admire the Archbishop's Palace, easily recognized by its grand wooden balcony, and behold the impressive 18th-century Cathedral. Then visit Casa Aliaga: distinguished by its authentic period details and fine collection of antique furnishings, art and artifacts, this is the oldest inhabited residence in the Americas. It was built by one of Pizarro's captains and still occupied by his descendants after 500 years. Close by, you'll tour the beautiful Convent and Basilica of Santo Domingo, built in 1766. Continue to the Larco Museum; renowned for its superb collection of pre-Columbian artifacts, your private tour is the perfect introduction to the Inca sites you'll explore in the coming days. After a light lunch, spend time exploring the streets of Barranco, where 19th-century aristocratic homes have been given new life as cafés, galleries and boutique. Visit the Jade Rivera Museum, home to the Peruvian visual artist, muralist, technique researcher and constant apprentice. With more than 20 years of experience, he focuses his work on representing situations of daily and cultural life, through an imagery that embraces the emotions and the spiritual of the human being. Jade understands that the street is a communication tool and that the murals are codes of reflection between the passerby and the wall, with the main purpose of posing questions to the viewer but not giving answers. Motivated by the language of the mural, he supports and strengthens his graphics with a strong admiration for animals and visual poetry. Meals B+L

Day 3: Fly to Cuzco #WHS#

After breakfast, you'll be chauffeured to the airport for your included flight to Cuzco, the ancient capital of the once vast and mighty Inca Empire. On arrival, you'll be escorted by private car to the luxury hotel of your choice - where oxygenated rooms promise greater comfort in this high-mountain town. With your own personal guide, this afternoon's tour begins in the peaks outside of town where you'll discover the magnificent ruins of Sacsayhuaman. Built in the 1400's by the Inca Emperor Pachacútec, the massive limestone blocks of this venerated complex were cut with such precision that they fit together without mortar like the interlocking pieces of a jigsaw puzzle! With some individual stones towering more than 10 feet tall and weighing several hundreds of tons, Sacsayhuaman is a monumental achievement of architecture and masonry. You'll also visit San Pedro Market and Almudena Cemetery, where your guide will offer fascinating cultural perspectives and personal insights into the life of local citizens. Then discover Cuzco's Cathedral and the other Colonial-era landmarks that line the Plaza de Armas. At the Temple of the Sun and Convent of Santo Domingo, you'll discover one of Peru's most fascinating sites. It also demonstrates the rich layering of history here in Cuzco, where a sacred structure of one culture, the Convent, literally sits atop and practically encloses another, the Inca-built Temple of the Sun. Finish your tour with an engaging local bartender and learn how to make the perfect Pisco Sour, Peru's signature cocktail. Meals B

Day 4: By Rail to Machu Picchu #WHS#

After breakfast, you'll be chauffeured to the station to board the Vistadome Train for your journey through the Sacred Valley. Sit back and enjoy the views as you travel through this timeless region of snow-capped Andean peaks, quiet villages and terraced fields that have been cultivated for centuries. On arrival in the charming town of Aguas Calientes, you'll board the coach for the 30-minute ride up the switchback mountain road that brings you to the entrance to Machu Picchu. The fabled Lost City is certainly the single greatest landmark in Peru - and perhaps all of South America. Indeed, little can be written here that would do justice to the breathtaking grandeur of its mountain setting, the enigmatic power and aura that so permeate this ancient citadel, and the unforgettable experience of standing among these ancient stones. And with your personal guide's illuminating expertise, your visit will bring to life the ancient Inca civilization that built Machu Picchu. After sightseeing, board the train back to Cuzco and return to your luxury hotel. Meals B+L

Day 5: Fly Back to Lima… Or Extend Your Travels

We'll take you to the airport this morning for your return flight to Lima where you can connect to your homeward journey. Or extend your travels in South America with any of our Short Stay Tours. Lake Titicaca, the Nazca Lines and the Peruvian Amazon are among our most popular extensions. Meals B

Featured Destinations

Lima

Lima, "the City of the Kings," became the effective capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru, established 1560. Today, a visit to Lima may serve as a unique Peruvian experience that offers a glimpse into the Andean world, Spanish tradition and the country's modern aspect. Visit handsome old buildings and baroque churches that testify to the city's religious background and the Plaza de Armas, shared by the realms of the Catholic church, municipality and national government. The pre-Inca ruins of Pachacamac lie a short distance south of the city. Once a ceremonial site, Pachacamac has been the most important religious center of the Andean world since before the age of Christ. Stop and admire The Temple of the Sun and the Moon, Lima's outstanding museums, and Machu Picchu - a "Jewel in the Mist."
