    Sobre el tour

    Explore Lima, Machu Picchu, and Cusco's natural wonders in 8 days.

    Lima, Ballestas Islands, Huacachina, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, Humantay Lake

    This 8-day Peru itinerary combines history, culture, and adventure across the country’s most iconic destinations. Starting in Lima, the tour includes a historic center tour followed by a full-day excursion to the Ballestas Islands and the magical Huacachina oasis — with buggy rides and sandboarding on the desert dunes.

    The journey then moves to Cusco, with the Sacred Valley of the Incas and the legendary citadel of Machu Picchu. The final two days deliver the region’s most spectacular natural experiences: the breathtaking Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) at over 16,500 ft, and the turquoise-watered Humantay Lake beneath Andean glaciers. A complete cross-country Peru adventure.
