The Peruvian adventure was a dream come true! On the first day, we explored Lima, starting with a warm welcome at the airport. The Lima City Tour was captivating, with highlights including the Lima Cathedral, Pizarro’s Tomb, and the San Francisco Catacombs. The elegant architecture of the Palace of Torre Tagle and the panoramic view from Huaca Pucllana were stunning. We ended the day with a relaxing evening at the hotel, soaking in the local ambiance and cuisine.

Day two was equally amazing with our flight to Cusco, where we enjoyed coca tea to acclimate. The Cusco city tour took us to Koricancha Palace, the Cusco Cathedral, and the impressive sites of Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Puca-Pucara, and Tambomachay. The Sacred Valley tour on day three was unforgettable, especially the vibrant Inka market in Pisac and the imposing fortress of Ollantaytambo. The journey to Aguas Calientes set the stage for our Machu Picchu visit, which was the highlight of the trip. Each day was perfectly organized, providing a deep dive into Peru’s history and natural beauty.
