Peru Encompassed
Experience Overview
Travel from Lima to Cusco on a 20-day adventure that blends nature, culture, modern cities and ancient worlds. Trek the iconic Inca Trail or the lesser-known Quarry Trail to the ruins of Machu Picchu, wake up to the sounds of nature in the Amazon and experience life on the floating islands of Lake Titicaca at a homestay with the Uros people. Watch Andean condors soar over Colca Canyon at sunrise, see the mind-boggling Nazca Lines and sip Pisco sours as you acclimatise in Cusco. On this trip, you'll taste a little bit of everything Peru has to offer.

Set out on a walking tour of downtown Lima this morning, where the streets are lined with old mansions, palaces and churches. Take in Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral of Lima, the San Francisco Monastery and the Central Market where you’ll get a glimpse into Peru’s abundant produce. Then, board a local bus to Paracas – it may stop three or four times along the way. There are no planned activities in Paracas, but how about seeking out a bar serving Peru's national libation – Pisco sour?
This morning, wildlife enthusiasts might like to visit the Ballestas Islands in Paracas National Reserve for a chance to spot pelicans, red-footed boobies and flamingos on a two-hour boat tour. Otherwise, take it easy with some self-paced sightseeing in Paracas. Then, hit the road to Nazca – home to one of the world's most mysterious archaeological sites, the Nazca Lines. This group of geoglyphs etched into the ground of the Nazca Desert was created between 500 BCE and 500 CE and covers an area of about 450 square kilometres. You’ll stop in the town of Huacachina – a little settlement next to a small lake surrounded by sand dunes. Take in the views from the viewing platform or opt for a scenic flight for the ultimate views.
Optional Activities:
- Ballestas Islands - Guided tour (97 PEN)
- Nazca - Scenic flight over the Nazca Lines (excluding 77 PEN Taxes at Nazca Airport) (100 USD)
This morning, you’ll explore the eerie desert graveyard of Chauchilla – where the arid conditions have naturally interred the remains of the Nazca people buried here. Later in the afternoon, you'll board a local overnight bus from Nazca to Arequipa. The journey is long, so be sure to stock up on snacks.
Included Activities:
- Chauchilla Cemetery Tour
Optional Activities:
- Nazca - Scenic flight over the Nazca Lines (excluding 77 PEN Taxes at Nazca Airport) (100 USD)
You’ll arrive in Arequipa this morning. Check into your hotel room, freshen up and get breakfast before enjoying free time for the rest of the day. Standing at the foot of El Misti Volcano, Arequipa vies with Cusco for the title of Peru's most attractive city. Built out of a pale volcanic rock called sillar, the old buildings dazzle in the sun, giving the city its nickname – the White City. The main plaza, with its cafes and nearby cathedral, is a lovely place to while away the day. Maybe wander the plaza, tuck into local dishes like rocoto relleno (stuffed spicy pepper) or visit the Andean Sanctuaries Museum which houses Peru’s famous Ice Maiden – the Inca mummy of a girl who died in the 1440s.
Optional Activities:
- Arequipa - Santa Catalina Monastery Admission Fee (45 PEN)
- Arequipa - Juanita Museum Admission Fee (20 PEN)
Travel by minivan to the traditional market town of Chivay today. Look out for llamas, alpacas and vicunas along the way – not sure how to differentiate between these adorable creatures? Your leader will help you! You'll also stop to stretch your legs, take photos and try local coca tea. The third stop takes you to the highest point on the trip at Patapama (4800 m) before descending to Chivay. Eat lunch in town, then maybe wander around the plaza or enjoy a soak in the Colca Canyon hot springs. Tonight, why not try llama steak at a local restaurant and watch some live Andean music at a pena (bar)?
Optional Activities:
- Colca Canyon - La Calera hot springs (15 PEN)
Visit the Colca Canyon this morning. More than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, the views here are epic. See terraced crops cultivated since pre-Inca times by local villages and look out for the Andean condor – one of the world’s largest flying birds – soaring above and below you from a prime viewing point. Later, board a bus to Puno. It’s a long drive, but the views of the Altiplano – part of the Peruvian highlands – make it an exceptionally scenic one. Puno is on the shores of Lake Titicaca, which you’ll explore in the coming days. Upon arrival, you might like to get acquainted with the town. Known as Peru’s folklore capital, Puno is home to several Indigenous cultures, including the Aymara and Quechua peoples.
Included Activities:
- Colca Canyon -Guided tour
Take a tour of the immense Lake Titicaca by motorboat today. Stop at the floating Uros Islands that were historically built by the Uros people to protect themselves from encroaching Inca forces hundreds of years ago. The islands are constructed from many layers of totora reeds that grow in the lake’s shallows. You’ll get a closer look at contemporary life here during a homestay with a local community. Help your host family with their daily activities, try out a few words in the Quechua language and maybe join a soccer game to make some friends on the makeshift pitch. Tonight, sit down and swap stories with your hosts over a home-cooked meal.
Included Activities:
- Lake Titicaca - Boat tour & Homestay
This morning, board another motorboat and cruise to Taquile Island – where the locals are known for producing intricate textiles. Here, knitting is strictly men’s domain and women do the spinning. It's a great place to pick up high-quality, locally knitted goods while supporting local craftspeople. Then, take a one-hour hike uphill to the main area of the island, where you can shop for more handicrafts. After, descend about 500 steps to the boat and cruise back to Puno, where you might like to gather the group and find a local watering hole to enjoy a drink or two. Chilcano or another Pisco sour, anyone?
Take a scenic bus ride across the Altiplano towards Cusco – the continent’s oldest continuously inhabited city. Here, colonial buildings are built on foundations from ancient Inca times. Spend some time acclimatising to the high altitude of 3450 m, then set out to explore some of Cusco's lesser-known sights on a guided walking tour. Visit the facade of Qoricancha temple, San Pedro market, the main square, 12 Angled Stone, Regocijo Square and San Blas Square. End the tour at Cusco's Chocolate Museum to sample a cup of hot chocolate made from local cacao beans. There’s also a small store where you can browse artisanal chocolate treats.
Included Activities:
- Cusco - Leader-led orientation walk
- Cusco - Chocolate Museum Visit & Hot Chocolate
Optional Activities:
- Cusco - Coricancha Temple (entrance fee) (20 PEN)
Enjoy a free day in Cusco – the heart and soul of Peru. You may like to visit one of the city’s many museums and archaeological sites with a boleto turistico (tourism ticket). This includes the Contemporary Art Museum, Regional History Museum, Qosqo Native Art Museum and the Inca ruins of Saqsaywaman, Q'enqo, Puka Pukara, Pisac and Ollantaytambo. The most easily accessible among these sites is Coricancha, which was once the Inca empire's richest temple until the Spanish built a Dominican church on top of it. Just speak to your leader to organise this pass or get tips to make the most of your time.

Depending on the travel arrangements you made before the trip, you’ll either spend the next four days hiking the Inca Trail (Route 1), hiking the Quarry Trail (Route 2) or staying in Cusco for two days before taking the train to Aguas Calientes (Route 3). All routes visit Machu Picchu.
While away from Cusco, most of your luggage will be stored at your hotel. If you’re hiking the Inca or Quarry trails, you'll receive a small duffle bag the evening before you leave to carry your clothes (5 kg maximum). Your team of porters will carry these bags for you, together with the food and camping equipment. You won't have access to these items until the end of each day, as the porters will always be ahead of the group. If you’re travelling to Aguas Calientes by train, you'll be able to leave most of your luggage at the hotel in Cusco and travel with only a small bag for the overnight stay in Aguas Calientes.
Route 1 Inca Trail:
Travel by minivan to the 82 km marker and meet your guide, cook and crew of porters. Your first day will include uphill trekking to the campsite (3100 m). On the way, you’ll see the Inca sites of Ollantaytambo, Huillca Raccay and Llactapata, as well as incredible views of snow-capped Veronica Peak. In the evening, unwind at the campsite with a nourishing meal prepared by your cook.
Route 2 Quarry Trail:
Make an early start today and drive to Choquequilla, a small ceremonial place where Incas worshipped the moon. From here, head to the small community near Qory Song’o (Golden Heart) hill to climb to the top for views of the Soqma Perolniyoc, Pachar and Huarocondo valleys. There are also several protected sacred tombs which you can explore and even see some of the original structure crafted from wood and leather. Travellers have seldom seen these remains. Continue to the Perolniyoc Cascade lookout to stop for snacks and photos. Arrive at the campsite (3700 m) around lunchtime. After, set off to explore the Q'orimarca archaeological site – a historic Inca checkpoint.
Route 3 Cusco:
If you choose the train option, you’ll stay in Cusco so that you have time to visit some of its many museums and archaeological sites. The most accessible is Coricancha – once the richest Inca temple. Speak with your tour leader to organise optional activities.
Included Activities:
- 3 Night/4 Day Inca Trail (or 2 Night/3 Day Inca Quarry Trail) guided hike(s) with porters' support. Or guided Cusco stay (Machu Picchu by train)
Optional Activities:
- Cusco - Full Boleto Turistico Pass (access to 16 archaeological sites, transport & guides not included) (135 PEN)
- Cusco - Half Boleto Turistico Pass (access to selected archaeological sites, transport & guides not included) (75 PEN)
Route 1 Inca Trail:
This is the most challenging trekking day as you’ll ascend a steep path to reach the highest point of the trail. Colloquially known as 'Dead Woman's Pass', Warmiwanusca sits at a height of 4200 m, providing amazing views of the valley. After, descend to the campsite in the Pacaymayo Valley (3650 m).
Route 2 Quarry Trail:
This is the most challenging and rewarding day. A 3-hour walk takes you to the top of the first pass of Puccaqasa (4370 m). After enjoying the picturesque views, it’s a short walk before stopping for lunch. Then, hike to Kuychicassa (4450 m), the trek’s highest pass. From here, descend to the sacred site that the Incas called Intipunku. This is a sun gate, where the sun streams through at certain times of the year. The Incas built several sun gates, the most notable overlooking Machu Picchu. Continue to the campsite (3600 m) only a stone’s throw away.
Route 3 Cusco:
This morning, drive through the Sacred Valley. Known as Wilcamayo to the Incas, it has been a source of livelihood for the locals for hundreds of years, with maize crops covering the terraced valley walls. Stop for lunch in a local community, where you'll also get the chance to learn about their traditional lifestyle and maybe wrap your tongue around a few words of the Quechua language. Tonight, stay in Ollantaytambo where you can check out the town’s fascinating remnants of an Inca city overlooking the present-day settlement.
Optional Activities:
- Ollantaytambo - Archaeological site (70 PEN)
Route 1 Inca Trail:
Start the day with a climb through the Pacaymayo Valley to Runkuracay Pass (3980 m). Enjoy views of the snow-capped mountain of Cordillera Vilcabamba before descending for around 2 to 3 hours to the ruins of Sayacmarca. Continue over the trail’s third pass to the ruins of Phuyupatamarca (3850 m), also known as the 'Town Above the Clouds'. Then start the 2-hour descent down Inca steps to a campsite by the Winay Wayna archaeological site.
Route 2 Quarry Trail:
Today’s hike is all downhill. The first stop is the incomplete Kachiqata quarry, where the Spanish intercepted the Incas. Explore the cobbled streets of Ollantaytambo when you finish the trek, then take a short train ride to Aguas Calientes. This is where you’ll meet the travellers in your group who didn't hike. Spend the night in a hotel before tomorrow’s visit to Machu Picchu.
Route 3 Train to Aguas Calientes:
Today you’ll meet up with the travellers in your group who may have hiked the Quarry Trail. You’ll catch a 1.5-hour train through the winding Urubamba Valley to Aguas Calientes. The city is in the cloud forest at the foot of Machu Picchu. Spend the night in a hotel before tomorrow’s visit to Machu Picchu.
Optional Activities:
- Machu Picchu Site Museum (25 PEN)
Route 1 Inca Trail:
This is the final and most spectacular leg of the trek to Machu Picchu – one of the New Wonders of the World. It’s an early start, with breakfast at 4 am. Say farewell to the porters as they descend to the train station and begin hiking. Once the final checkpoint opens at 5 am, you’ll begin the final 2.5-hour trek to Intipunku (the Sun Gate). Weather permitting, you’ll be treated to views over the Lost City of the Incas as you enter through the Sun Gate.
Route 2 and 3 Machu Picchu to Cusco:
Take an early bus up to Machu Picchu at 6 am. The city was built around 1440 AD as a country retreat for the Inca nobility, but there’s evidence that the land had been a sacred Inca site for much longer. Take a guided tour around the ruins of temples, palaces and living quarters. This is a day to remember!
The whole group will then catch the bus to Aguas Calientes to stop for lunch. From here, take a scenic train ride to Ollantaytambo, then drive back to Cusco, arriving in the evening.
Included Activities:
- Machu Picchu - Entrance and guided tour
Enjoy free time to relax, shop and explore more of Cusco today. Maybe rest your weary legs at a cafe on Plaza de Armas or head to the San Pedro Market where you’ll find vegetables, meats, local cheeses, chocolates, herbal medicines and handicrafts. It’s a great place to pick up souvenirs or ingredients for a picnic. The market is also where many locals (and daring travellers) eat ‘mystery soups.’ Some may be just chicken – but the most popular among the locals usually contains frogs or offal. If you’re looking for something active, why not try mountain biking in the hills surrounding Cusco?

Rise and shine early for your journey into the Peruvian Amazon. Take an early transfer to the airport, then fly to Puerto Maldonado. Here, you’ll pack a small duffle bag with essentials for the next two days. Board a motorised canoe and cruise deep into the jungle to your eco-lodge in the Madre de Dios region – it'll take a couple of hours, so you’ll stop for lunch along the way. Settle into your thatched-roof lodge before a short orientation walk. Spend the evening taking in the sights, sounds and smells of the jungle and enjoy an I’m-so-far-from-home moment.
Included Activities:
- Amazon Jungle - Amazon jungle lodge stay
Get ready for a day of exploring the depths of the jungle! Set out on a half-day trek guided by local experts on the area's flora and fauna. Learn about the medicinal and practical uses for some of the plants that grow here, which Indigenous people have been studying and using for thousands of years. Along the way, look out for rainbow macaws and butterflies, and listen for the barking call of the peccaries and chattering of monkeys. Capybaras, giant otters and jabirus also live in this part of the Amazon, so keep your eyes peeled. Return to the lodge for lunch, followed by free time to relax. After sunset, venture out on a night walk in search of caimans, jaguars, anacondas and other nocturnal critters.
Leave the natural wonders of the Amazon behind and return to Puerto Maldonado to board a flight back to Lima. You'll be met by a local representative who’ll take you to your hotel. Time permitting, the rest of the day is free to explore more of Lima's sights and maybe do some last-minute shopping. In the evening, maybe regroup for one last night out on the town and a celebratory farewell dinner of Peruvian favourites.

This trip Peru Encompassed allowed our small group to see all that Peru has to offer. Renzo the tour leader is an excellent tour leader, communicating effectively and solving/anticipating problems for tour participants. The first half of the tour moves fast. But they are a good to have prior to Inca Trail. Weather was good considering that it was the rainy season.

I very much enjoyed the Peru encompassed trip. We got to see an awful lot of Peru from the city lights of Lima to the mountain heights of Cusco. Completed a dream by trekking the Inca Trail to MachuPicchu and the delight on our faces at the end of that made a great picture! Our tour guides throughout the trip were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and enthusiastic. Special thanks to the amazing Leo, who cannot be beaten for experience and expertise.

Got to see a variety of what Peru has to offer, and go off the beaten path including an amazing homestay. Lots of opportunities for being active or relaxing.
