Plans for Peru

Things to Do

  • Lima

    • Miraflores

    • Is a gastronomic hub near the best coffee shops, many nightlife spots, and it is also super close to the bohemian district of Barranco

    • The most popular area for tourists because of the views, diversity, and quality of shopping stores and food places

    • Paracas and Huacachina from Lima with Ballestas Islands and Sand Boarding

    • Spot native marine life up-close in the Paracas National Reserve

    • Zoom up South America’s largest dunes by dune buggy and try sandboarding

    • Enjoy views over the coastal and desert landscapes outside Lima

    • $130


  • Cusco

    • Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire and is more famously known as the gateway to Machu Picchu

    • The city center is really beautiful and wandering the small quaint alleys is a great way to spend a day

    • The San Blas market for cheap sandwiches, soups, fruits, vegetables, and falafel

    • Situated at over 3000 meters above sea level

    • From Cusco, you can venture on a jungle tour to Manu National Park, hike Rainbow Mountain, go to the Sacred Valley and much more


  • Rainbow Mountain

    • Located 5,000 meters above sea level, the short hike up can be challenging as altitude sickness sets in. But, above the clouds the colors of Rainbow Mountain come alive

    • The mountain is colored due to the different minerals it contains

    • Full-Day Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley Trip from Cusco

    • Experience outdoor adventure in the high Peruvian wilderness with ease

    • Hike rugged terrain through the Red Valley and up Rainbow Mountain

    • Spot native wildlife on the trail and get incredible views from the summit

    • Ideal for active travelers with a love of the outdoors

    • $52


  • Machu Picchu

    • Travel from Cusco to Machu Picchu by train in just one day

    • Entrance fees included so your ticket is guaranteed

    • Views of the towering Andes Mountains from the train windows

    • Tour includes a guided tour of the ancient Inca site

    • Convenient round-trip transport from select Cusco hotels

    • Great choice for families and first-time visitors

    • $341


  • Amazon

    • 3 Nights, Discovery Cruise

    • Aqua Expedition’s 3 night Amazon River luxury cruise begins in the remote colonial city of Iquitos (IQT), Peru and transports guests in exceptional comfort deep into the Amazon rainforest, along the Marañon River, the Amazon’s largest tributary, as well as other neighboring rivers (the Yarapa and Yanayacu-Pucate), each one rich in vibrant wildlife and thriving rainforests

    • $2,800
