Learn about ancient Incan heritage as you travel through the Sacred Valley, visit the Lost City of the Incas, and see the major sites of Lima with this week-long tour of Peru
“I booked Indus Travels’ “Essential Peru” tour to finally see Machu Picchu without getting overwhelmed by planning, and it ended up being a wonderfully balanced introduction to the country. The itinerary flows really well: time in Lima to enjoy the coastal views around Miraflores and the city’s colonial side, then on to Cusco, the Sacred Valley stops like Chinchero and Ollantaytambo, and of course the train ride up to Machu Picchu, which is every bit as impressive in person as you hope it will be. I liked that major logistics were handled for me—domestic flights, rail tickets, transfers, and guided excursions—while still leaving some free time in Cusco to explore its markets, plazas, and Inca-Spanish architecture at my own pace. For a compact trip that covers Peru’s essentials with solid organization and good value, this program delivers a memorable mix of history, scenery, and culture without the stress of piecing it all together yourself.”
