AUGUST 12 - 19, 2025
Welcome to Peru
Peru offers an unforgettable adventure, filled with stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture. From the colonial architecture of Lima to the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu and the mysterious Nazca Lines, the country is a treasure trove of wonders. Explore Cusco, the former Inca capital, dive into the indigenous culture, and enjoy its lively markets. The coastal region offers beautiful beaches for relaxation and water activities, while Peru's renowned cuisine, including ceviche and Pisco Sour, adds a unique flavor to your experience. Peru promises a transformative journey of discovery, hospitality, and unforgettable memories.
LIMA
Lima, the capital of Peru, is located along the country's arid Pacific coast. While its colonial center is carefully preserved, Lima thrives as a dynamic metropolis and one of the largest cities in South America. The city is home to the renowned Museo Larco, which houses an extensive collection of pre-Columbian art, as well as the Museo de la Nación, offering a deep dive into the history of Peru’s ancient civilizations. At the heart of Lima's historic center lies the Plaza de Armas, a vibrant landmark that encapsulates the essence of the city’s colonial past.
CUSCO
The city of Cusco is undoubtedly one of Peru’s most significant destinations. Its cobblestone streets are lined with Incan buildings waiting to be discovered. This enchanting city also boasts a vibrant nightlife, offering a variety of cafes, restaurants, and bars to suit all tastes. Just 10 minutes from the city center, you’ll find the impressive walls of the Sacsayhuamán fortress. A short drive further brings you to the archaeological sites of Qenko, Pukapukara, and Tambomachay—ancient Incan structures built entirely from stone. The enigmatic Machu Picchu, “The Lost City of the Incas,” stands as the most remarkable and beautiful legacy of ancient Peru. Part of the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, which was recently named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, this awe-inspiring site sits atop a mountain, surrounded by lush nature, making it a truly unique place on earth. Built around 1450, Machu Picchu showcases the classic Inca architectural style, with its polished dry-stone walls. The site’s key structures include the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows
