    Sobre el tour

    A journey through Peru: Lima, Huacachina, and Machu Picchu in 8 unforgettable days.

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

    This 8-day Peru itinerary blends the best of the coast and the Andes into one complete adventure. Starting in Lima, the tour heads south to the Ballestas Islands and the legendary Huacachina oasis — with thrilling buggy rides and sandboarding on the towering Ica desert dunes.

    The journey continues in Cusco, exploring the Sacred Valley of the Incas before visiting the legendary citadel of Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The final two days deliver two bucket-list natural experiences: the spectacular Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) at over 16,500 ft, and the stunning turquoise Humantay Lake beneath the Andean glaciers.
