Private Tour to Peru And Ecuador

Arrive at Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima, where you will be received by an English-speaking representative.

You will be taken to your hotel, where you can check in and relax for the rest of the day. We recommend a leisurely exploration of Lima’s Old Town, which has some beautiful colonial-era buildings.

Start out in the morning to explore the capital city of Lima on a sightseeing tour. Marvel at beautiful landmarks such as the Plaza de Armas, the Palace of the Archbishop and the city cathedral.

Tour the stunning San Francisco Monastery before heading for the more modern areas of San Isidro and Miraflores. You will also get to enjoy some lovely views of the ocean while walking along the coastline.

Next, enjoy a private guided tour of Lima’s most renowned museum, the Rafael Larco Herrera Archaeological Museum. It is home to the world’s biggest collection of private Peruvian pre-Columbian artworks and is a delightful place for art lovers.

After your tour, you can spend the rest of the day as you please. You can consider visiting Parque de la Exposicion, one of the biggest city waterparks in the world if you feel like doing something exciting.

Leave for Lima’s airport to catch your flight to Cuzco. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel within the Urubamba Valley, also known as Sacred Valley. After settling in, enjoy gazing at the Urubamba River that flows through the area.

On the way to the Sacred Valley, you will get to stop at the Cochahuasi wildlife sanctuary, where you can observe native animals such as pumas, condors and aras.

While in Yucay, you will get to visit the ‘Mercado de Urubamba’ (market). Enjoy the lively atmosphere, and test your own skills to get some good bargains. Next, travel to Ollantaytambo, a local Inca community town.

You can spend the rest of the day at leisure. We recommend an easy trek to the nearby terraces of Yucay. It is about an hour's walk, and offers you the chance to admire the beautiful scenery around you.

On day five, hop on the bus to reach Ollantaytambo train station. You will be travelling through the scenic Urubamba Valley to reach the little town of Aguas Calientes.

From Aguas Calientes, another bus will wind its way through the mountains to reach the famous Machu Picchu complex. The ‘Lost City of the Incas’ is one of the most impressive ancient stone cities in the world, and seeing it s truly a magnificent experience.

Explore the sacred stone site with its impeccably crafted stone formations that are incredibly well preserved. Your knowledgeable guide tell you about the region's history.

Afterwards, head back to Aguas Calientes by shuttle bus.

Today morning is yours to spend as you please. Many take the opportunity to visit Machu Picchu once again, this time without a guide. A second trip offers the chance to explore this amazing site at your own pace, and often provides a completely different experience compared to the previous day.

In the afternoon, back to Ollantaytambo by train before heading onwards to Cuzco.

A half-day tour of the UNESCO World Heritage city of Cuzco is on the cards for day five. Discover the centre of the ancient Incan Empire and the fascinating Plaza de Arms. There is a cathedral here that stands on the remnants of the Inca Palace of the Uros Indians.

Next, travel to Sacsayhuaman, another ancient complex that is only three kilometres from the city centre of Cuzco. Here you can enjoy sprawling vistas of Cuzco City and explore the site’s ruins. The rest of the afternoon can be spent at leisure.

Today, you will be transferred to Cuzco airport to catch your flight to Lima. Upon arrival, you will be driven to your hotel. After checking in, the rest of the day can be spent relaxing or doing some light exploring.

You could go on a culinary tour of the area to sample some of the local delicacies. Try the fresh fruit from the city markets and traditional Peruvian fare at a neighbourhood restaurant.

Alternatively, you could go on a tour of Barranco, which is known as the bohemian district of Lima. This is where many of Peru’s renowned artists live and work. As you stroll about, admire the lovely Bridge of Sighs, the old houses and the sparkling coastline.

In the morning, you will be transferred to the airport to catch your flight to the Ecuadorian capital of Quito. Upon arrival, you will be driven to your hotel.

Spend the day on a sightseeing tour of Quito. Learn about the city's history as you explore its historic centre. Marvel at the La Compania Church, which has a beautifully intricate frontage and interior. Next, visit Independence Square, which is home to the Government Palace and the city Cathedral.

You will also get to 'be in two places at once' at the Equatorial Line Monument, where you will get to straddle the line for the iconic picture.

You can explore more of Quito today at leisure.

Recommended excursions include spending a full day at the buzzing Otavalo Indian Market or hiking though the scenic Mino Cloud Forest to spot some colourful birds.
