This private 15-day journey offers a richly varied introduction to Peru, combining vibrant cities, ancient civilizations, dramatic landscapes, and the wildlife-filled Amazon rainforest. Your adventure begins in Lima, where colonial history and contemporary culture meet, before flying into the lush Tambopata region for an immersive stay deep in the jungle, surrounded by rivers, rainforest trails, and remarkable biodiversity.

From the Amazon, you’ll head into the Andes, exploring the Sacred Valley and traveling by scenic train to Machu Picchu, where expert guides reveal the story behind Peru’s most iconic site. Time in Cusco brings insight into the heart of the Inca Empire, followed by a visit to Arequipa, the elegant “White City,” framed by volcanic peaks and known for its historic architecture and relaxed atmosphere. Carefully paced and fully private, this itinerary balances guided sightseeing with moments to soak in Peru’s extraordinary diversity.

As with all JayWay trips, one of our team members in Peru will be available to you leading up to and during your trip to answer any questions and arrange local services. You will receive access to your Guest Page, with its information on the best these destinations have to offer, including things to see and do, and other inside tips from restaurant recommendations to tipping advice. Upon arrival, we will provide you with a local SIM that you can use to reach your local JayWay contact (who you will meet in person) throughout your trip.

Starting price for this itinerary is from $5,400 per person, based on two people sharing a room in 4-star hotels.

Ollantaytambo is one of the most atmospheric destinations in the Sacred Valley, a small town where Inca history isn’t just preserved, but still very much lived. Its narrow streets, stone channels, and original urban layout date back more than 500 years, and this is why it's considered one of the best surviving examples of an Inca settlement. It's no overstatement to say that walking around Ollantaytambo feels like stepping into a living archaeological site.

Stroll Machu Picchu's Artisanal Market

Suggestion to explore on your own

No visit to Machu Picchu Pueblo is complete without a stroll through the town's Artisan Market. The latter is a colorful maze of stalls by the train tracks, packed with alpaca textiles, ceramics, jewelry, and souvenirs.

Today, you will explore the marvels of Machu Picchu, likely to be the highlight of your journey through Peru. Your private guide will meet you at your hotel and accompany you to the bus station. From here, you will take a shuttle up the mountain, which is the sole means of accessing the archaeological site, as private vehicles are not permitted. Upon arrival at the entrance, your guide will lead you through the designated sectors included with your ticket type. Highlights of the main archaeological site include the Temple of the Sun, the Sacred Rock, and the Temple of the Three Windows. You will also have time to enjoy the iconic panoramic viewpoint and experience the principal landmarks of the citadel. For travelers with a higher fitness level, there is an option to add the additional hike to Huayna Picchu at an extra cost.

At the end of your guided visit, we highly recommend extending your stay, and we can book lunch for you at the beautiful Belmond Sanctuary Lodge, which sits at the site entrance and is the only hotel in the area. Alternatively, if you prefer to return to Machu Picchu Pueblo, you can take the next available bus back down the mountain, as they run frequently but cannot be booked in advance.

Reward Yourself With a Lunch To Remember

Suggestion to explore on your own

After your guided visit to Machu Picchu, we suggest stopping for lunch at the Sanctuary Lodge, just outside the site entrance.

The spectacular views of the surroundings from the floor to ceiling windows, accompanied by delicious Peruvian specialties make for a memorable meal and relaxing break before continuing your day at your own pace.

Relax at The Spa

Suggestion to explore on your own

The town’s Spanish name sets the tone for what awaits you in Machu Picchu Pueblo. Aguas Calientes translates into Hot Waters in Spanish, referring to the natural hot springs that are found in the town. Wellness is a key feature of many of the town's hotels, and many are equipped with spa facilities. If your hotel doesn't have a spa, we know the best spot in town and your city host will help you obtain the city pass. A massage, hot tub or sauna are perfect for soothing aching muscles, or to relax after a visit to the archeological site.

The Sacred Valley resort area is ideal for travelers seeking the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and relaxation. Evenings are usually peaceful, and most dining happens within the hotels, which offer excellent cuisine and beautiful settings. The atmosphere is more rural than urban, but that’s exactly what many guests appreciate: quiet nights, starry skies, and a sense of calm that comes into striking contrast with busier Peruvian cities. As the area is spread out, activities typically require short drives, and there are limited standalone restaurants or shops outside the hotels. But the combination of natural beauty, fresh air, and top-quality lodgings renders the Sacred Valley one of the most pleasant places to stay in the entire country.

Cusco’s unique charm lies in its friendly and warm people, colorful traditional clothing, and animated local spirit. The city offers an impressive selection of top-quality hotels and restaurants, from casual spots serving Andean dishes to classy fine dining experiences. Cusco is also considered one of Peru’s safest and most walkable cities, with plenty to discover on foot. That said, visitors should keep in mind that Cusco is one of the world's highest cities, and it may take a little time for the body to adjust to this high altitude. It's no secret that the city’s hilly streets can make walking a bit tiring at first. Take your time to explore the city’s unparalleled atmosphere, warmth, and cultural richness with multiple colonial era and Incan sites in and near the city that comprise Cusco's UNESCO World Heritage List entry.

Acclimatization's Important!

Suggestion to explore on your own

Cusco sits way up at around 11,150 feet (3,400 meters) above sea level, so give yourself time to acclimatize when you arrive. Take it easy on day one, stay well-hydrated, and avoid heavy meals or alcohol until you’re feeling settled. Many travelers find that sipping coca tea (available at every cafe, restaurant and hotel in Cusco) or taking short, gentle walks helps their body adjust. If you’re flying straight in from sea level, expect to feel the altitude. Most people tend to adjust to the altitude within a day.

Arequipa is one of southern Peru’s most elegant destinations, offering great restaurants, atmospheric cafés, and beautiful public spaces all within a walkable historic district. It’s a charming place for travelers who value architecture, culture, and a more relaxed urban experience. While it has a long list of attractions, Arequipa still feels laid-back compared to Lima or Cusco, and evenings tend to be more about rooftop cocktails and leisurely dinners than nightlife. But its heritage, scenery, and understated sophistication make it a memorable favorite for many visitors.
