Day 1

Welcome to Peru!

On arrival in Lima, you will be warmly welcomed by a

representative from andBeyond, who will transfer you to your

hotel

Day excludes: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner

Day 2

This morning you will embark on a guided city tour of Lima’s

historic downtown, beginning with a visit to the Main Plaza and

the surrounding monuments: the Cathedral, built in 1534 and

an architectural masterpiece; the Presidential Palace, where

the soldiers guarding the palace offer an excellent photo

opportunity; the Archbishop’s Palace, City Hall, the

Desamparados train station, and the Moorish-style houses and

balconies along Lima’s old streets.

Then, you will continue to the Larco Museum (Museo

Arqueolegico Rafael Larco Herrera), founded in 1926, is the

world's largest private collection of pre-Columbian art; with an

astonishing array of gold, silver, semi-precious stones and

textiles. The collection's predominant strength is in Mochica

ceramics, from the north coast of Peru, of which the erotic ones

are the most famous. Their notoriety ought not to obscure the

fact that the museum presents a complete view of the cultural

development of ancient Peru through a selection of its 45,000

pieces, housed in a colonial building of the 18th century.

Enjoy lunch at the Cafe del Museo Restaurant.

After lunch transfer back to your hotel, rest of the day will be

at your leisure.

Day includes: Breakfast/Lunch

Day excludes: Dinner

Belmond Miraflores Park

There’s something special about a room with a sea view. Waking

up to the image of sun-gilded waves in the morning. Watching

the moonlight play along the surf late at night. When that sea

view is offered by a hotel in a bustling Latin American capital

city, it is something very special indeed.

Belmond Hotel Rio Sagrado

Day 3

Morning private transfer to the Airport of Lima for your flight

to Cusco.

On arrival in Cusco your guide will be waiting for you to transfer

to the Sacred Valley of the Inca, enjoy a 1.30hours scenic drive.

On your way you will have the opportunity to visit

Awanakancha, where you will learn the tradition of weaving, a

private initiative that brings together 14 rural communities, in

which textiles made by the people of these communities are on

display. Besides the exposition of weavings, the Awanakancha

also has a display of the different types of indigenous camelids:

the llama, the vicuña, the guanaco (though the latter is

currently in danger of extinction).

Then we will make a stop at the local village of Pisac, famous

for its colorful market which attracts tourists from all over the

world to try their hand at bartering for local sweaters, ponchos,

wall hangings, jewellery and goods.

Continue to your hotel in the Sacred Valley of the Incas for

check in.

Rest of the day will be at your leisure for an easy

acclimatisation to altitude.

Day includes: Breakfast

Day excludes: Lunch/Dinner

Day 4

This morning you will visit Chinchero, a small Andean Indian

village located high up on the windswept plains of Anta. The

village mainly comprises mud brick (adobe) houses, and locals

still go about their business in traditional dress.

There are beautiful views overlooking the Sacred Valley of the

Incas, with the Cordillera Vilcabamba and the snow-capped

peak of Salkantay dominating the western horizon. Its major

atraction is its colourful market

We will then continue to Moray. The main feature that

impresses is its system of circular agricultural terraces, which

are up to 330 feet deep. They are build using retaining walls

connected by an irrigation system. Moray can be considered a

crop lab– they used the terraces to create micro-climates and

grow various products.

After lunch visit Maras, the salt mines, or the famous "salt pools"

The salt mines of Maras are still in use today. These days there

are thousands of pools, or pocitos, with each pocito yielding

around 150 kilograms of salt per month. You can visit the salt

mines and explore them along narrow paths. It’s fascinating to

watch locals harvest the salt, a process that hasn’t changed in

thousands of years.

Day includes: Breakfast/ Lunch

Day excludes: Dinner

Belmond Hotel Rio Sagrado

Set on the banks of the sacred Urubamba River, in the shadow

of the Andes, lies Belmond Hotel Rio Sagrado. This oasis of calm

has the feel of an ancient Incan farmstead—staff lend the

warmth of a family home while the treasures of the natural

world are tangible. In such astounding surroundings, you’ll feel

relaxed and revitalised. Little wonder it’s called the Sacred

Valley.

Belmond Sanctuary Lodge

Day 5

This morning please meet your guide in the lobby of your hotel,

who will transfer you to Ollantaytambo Train Station.

Before boarding the train to Machu Picchu, you will have the

opportunity to visit the town of Ollantaytambo, with its Inca

streets of stone, traditional square homes and small markets.

You will also have time to explore its ruins and hike up to an

Incan temple for a majestic view of the town.

Departure from Ollantaytambo train station to Machu Picchu on

the Vistadome train.

Reception at the train station by the hotel’s representatives

that will take care of your luggage. Your guide will accompany

with a short walk to the buses that leads to the citadel and

board the 30-minute ride to Machu Picchu Citadel. (8000 ft. –

2432 m.a.s.l.)

Explore the enigmatic citadel of Machu Picchu accompanied

with your guide for three hours. Your expert guide will lead

you through the site, providing archaeological and historical

information on key areas of interest, including Intihuatana (the

Sun Dial), the Sacred Plaza and the Temple of the Sun.

This is an opportunity to revel in the energy and atmosphere of

one of the most significant and spectacular archaeological sites

on the planet, surrounded by the cloud forest, Wayna Picchu

and Inti Punku (the Sun Gate), the entrance to the Machu Picchu

Inca trail.

Dinner will be at your hotel

Day includes: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner

Belmond Sanctuary Lodge

No picture of Machu Picchu can prepare you for seeing it with

your own eyes. Perched high in the Andes, it is one of few places

in the world that can be described as truly unmissable. It’s on

everyone’s travel wish list, attracting a million visitors each

year. But there’s only one way to see it in style: by staying at

Belmond Sanctuary Lodg

Belmond Palacio Nazarenas

Day 6

This morning rise early and enjoy the prospects of a walk

through Machu Picchu at sunrise, something which people of

strong spirituality believe to be the highlight of a visit to Machu

Picchu.

Today you will have the option to do one or two of these hikes:

Huayna Picchu, one of the highlights of a visit to Machu Picchu.

The views of the Citadel and surrounding landscape are

extraordinary from the top and well worth the climbing effort.

Inti Punku or Sun Gate, it takes about an hour each way and is

an uphill strenuous hike on the way out to the Gate.

Inca Bridge, constructed of a few narrow logs perched above a

sheer vertical drop – is believed to have served as a secret

entrance to Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu Mountain, large granite steps comprise most of

its trail and wind all the way to the top. The steep climb is a

challenging but rewarding hike and the 360-degree views at the

top are a gorgeous reward.

Rest of the morning continue touring Machu Picchu with your

guide.

Bus transfer to Aguas Calientes train station to board the train

to Cusco.

Depart on the Vistadome train to Sacred Valley train station.

On arrival in Ollanta train station, private transfer to your hotel

(2hs approx.)

Day includes: Breakfast/Lunch

Day excludes: Dinner

Day 7

This morning, for the Cusco City Tour and visit of the nearby

ruins, you will meet your guide in the lobby of your hotel. Your

guide will take you to the Main Square to visit the Cathedral of

Cusco, the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese

of Cusco; in addition to its official status as a place of worship,

it has become a major repository of Cusco's colonial art, it also

holds many archeological artifacts and relics.

You will then continue to Koricancha Temple, the most

impressive example of how Inca and Hispanic cultures fused

together. The remains of the ancient Peruvian Sun Temple were

used as foundations on which the Santo Domingo church and

convent was built. The temple is a symbol of Western

dominance. The site is a living example of the co-existence of

Peru's past with European architecture.

You will drive 15 minutes from Cusco to visit Sacsayhuaman, an

imposing display of Inca architecture. There are still questions

about its real purpose during the Inca period. At first, it was

thought to have been a fort, but later it was considered to have

been a ceremonial centre.

You will then continue to Qenqo: an immense, rocky

promontory, marked by carved steps, wells, and channels. You

will see Puca Puccara - or Red Fort - and Tambomachay, where

the architecture of the Inca baths consists of a group of

structures built with precisely cut stones. Water from nearby

streams runs through the site in aquaducts and small cascades.

Afternoon will be at your leisure.

Day includes: Breakfast

Day excludes: Lunch/Dinner

Belmond Palacio Nazarenas

The heart of the ancient Inca Empire, mythical and vibrant

Cusco is a city beyond imagination for even the most seasoned

travellers. It stands to reason that Belmond Palacio Nazarenas

should be equally individual and rich in history. Your ‘Once upon

a time…’ journey starts here
