Here is a suggested itinerary that was arranged for clients that travelled in July

International Flight of your choice London to Lima

You will be met and driven to the hotel on arrival in Lima Lima

Peru’s Pacific coast capital Lima, also known as the City of King’s, was once the capital of Spain’s colonial empire, something that is still reflected in its faded glory. Visitors to Lima will discover

a mix of art and architecture, world-class gastronomy and Pacific coast views. The city’s food scene has really put Lima in the spotlight in recent years, currently enjoying a gastronomic revolution, it is one of the best places to sample Peruvian cuisine. Most visitors to the city head to Miraflores, Lima’s most affluent district. Miraflores’ clifftop position overlooks the waves

crashing onto the shingle beaches, often full of surfers and provides a great base for exploration. Nearby, the Bohemian district of Barranco is filled with art galleries, beautifully restored mansion houses and boutique shops. Lima’s historic, downtown centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, essential to stop by during a city tour. Here you’ll find some of Lima’s most historic buildings and an excellent selection of museums.

Lima city tour (Colonial & Modern Lima with Larco Museum)

This afternoon, after some time to relax after your international flights you are met at your hotel and taken for a private introductory tour of Lima with an exert local guide. Visit the modern and colonial parts of the city of Lima, also known as the “City of Kings”, starting in the upmarket residential districts of Miraflores and San Isidro. The road passes the impressive Huaca Huallamarca (an sacred pre-Inca site) before making a stop at Parque del Amor (Lovers Park) in Miraflores; here soak in the magnificent views over the Pacific Ocean. Visit colonial Lima’s downtown area including the Main Square, where you can find the Presidential Palace, the Cathedral, the Archbishop’s Palace and the Metropolitan City Hall as well as many historic and traditional buildings. Stop at the Santo Domingo church and monastery; a XVII century jewel, recognised as cultural heritage by UNESCO. The tour continues to the modern district of San Isidro before stopping at the Larco Museum. Here, discover an exceptional private collection of more than 45,000 artefacts; known as the Treasures of Ancient Peru spanning more than five thousand years of the history. Please note that this is a private service, and therefor the tour can be tailored to how you ae feeling after your overnight flights.

You will be collected and taken to the airport.

Lima – Arequipa (LA 2111 11:45 – 13:15)

You will be met and driven to the hotel.

Arequipa

Arequipa, also known as ‘La Cuidad Blanca’ or the white city, sits at an altitude of just under 2,400 metres and is one of Peru’s most attractive cities. Fine colonial buildings, picturesque plazas and a skyline dominated by three volcanoes: El Misti, Chachani and Pichu Picchu are its main draw. The historic centre is one of the country’s most charming; the fine architecture seen is grafted out of the local white volcanic sillar rock and has stood the test of time and what Mother Earth has thrown at it over the centuries. It has a number of attractions including an impressive colonnaded main square and the Santa Catalina Monastery, one of Peru’s most important religious monuments. A visit to the beautifully restored convent of Santa Catalina, built in 1579 and now open to the public after 400 years of seclusion, is a real highlight. Equally fascinating is its museum which houses the mummy of Juanita, a young girl sacrificed in an lncan ceremony and perfectly preserved over the centuries by ice high up in the Andes before she was discovered and brought to Arequipa.

Arequipa City Tour with Santa Catalina Convent & Juanita Mummy

The UNESCO World Heritage listed city centre of Arequipa is one of Peru’s most beautiful. Dressed in baroque buildings intricately carved from the local white volcanic stone, the city thus has the name “La Ciudad Blanca” (White City). The city’s centrepiece is its cathedral with the El Misti volcano looming behind it. Starting in the main square marvel at the city’s most distinguished buildings. For the best views of the city and its spectacular 3 volcanoes, visit the city’s most famous vantage point before embarking upon a tour of the Santa Catalina Monastery. Founded in 1579; its cloisters, picturesque streets and plazas remain much the same as they were centuries ago. Learn about the lives of the group of nuns that live within the convent and discover what feels like another city within the city. Last stop is at the small Santuarios Andinos Museum, where hopefully you’ll catch a glimpse of Juanita, an Inca adolescent sacrificed to the mountain gods and buried in the ice for nearly 500 years.

Please note we cannot guarantee Juanita will be on display as certain times of the year she is

temporarily removed and replaced with another Mummy.

Once the Spanish conquered Peru, the Dominican order built a lovely church over the top of the temple’s foundations: the church of Santo Domingo, that is still there today. Visit the Plaza de Armas (the main square), the heart of the city, flanked by the Cathedral and the beautiful Church of La Compania de Jesus (Society of Christ and other colonial buildings.

Sacred Valley

Backed by snowcapped Andean peaks, the fertile plain of the Sacred Valley of the Incas is considered an area of outstanding natural beauty and sits between Cuzco and Machu Picchu. Benefitting from a mild climate and a lower altitude than Cuzco, many visitors to the region opt to gradually acclimatise here whilst combining relaxation and exploration. The Sacred Valley is home to some very impressive and sizeable historical sites, colourful markets and picturesque villages. The glistening salt terraces at Maras, where salt has been harvested since the Incas makes for an interesting visit, as does the circular agricultural terracing of Moray and the Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo. Bustling markets full of arts, crafts and local produce are best visited in Chinchero, Pisac and Urubamba. It is also the perfect place for some laid-back trekking, horseback riding, mountain biking or river rafting on the Urubamba River.

Guided Visit to Ollantaytambo Town & Fortress

The town is unique in that it still preserves its original Inca plan, with people living in traditional cancha enclosures once occupied by the Inca elite. The archaeological compound found here is a remarkable spectacle and a site of great historical significance. It was here that one of the greatest battles of the Conquest was fought, and one of the few where the Incas defeated the Spaniards.

Machu Picchu

Probably the most famous archaeological site in Latin America and recently voted one of the Seven New Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu does live up to its hype. Its incomparable setting hundreds of feet above the Urubamba River, deep in the Andes and its well preserved Inca stone structures make it a must see highlight of any itinerary to Peru. Machu Picchu tours can be taken as a full day trip from either Cuzco or the Sacred Valley but we would certainly recommend you give yourself plenty of time to explore these spectacular ruins by spending at least one night close by.
