Itinerary

Upon arrival in Lima, a Kaymara Luxury Travel representative will welcome you and accompany you privately to your hotel. Along the way, discover the city’s Pacific coastline and vibrant character before enjoying the afternoon at leisure.

 

Discover Lima’s cultural soul through the exceptional pre-Columbian textiles of the Amano Museum, followed by a traditional lunch at historic Taberna Queirolo.

Continue with a private visit to the Larco Museum, where more than 5,000 years of Peruvian history unfold through extraordinary art and elegant gardens.

Return to your hotel with the evening free to enjoy Lima at your own pace.

 

Fly to Arequipa, the elegant “White City,” framed by dramatic volcanoes and distinctive sillar architecture.

Discover the panoramic viewpoints of Carmen Alto and Yanahuara before exploring the historic center, with its colonial mansions, Plaza de Armas, and the remarkable Santa Catalina Monastery.

The afternoon is yours to relax and experience Arequipa at your own pace.

Journey into the majestic Colca Valley, where vast high-Andean landscapes unfold along the way. Travel through the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve, home to wild vicuñas roaming freely across the altiplano.

Pause at Patapampa, one of the highest points of the journey, to take in sweeping views of the surrounding volcanoes before descending toward Chivay for lunch.

Later, arrive at your hotel and settle into the quiet rhythm of the Andes, with the afternoon at leisure to relax and take in the serenity of the valley.

 

Journey to Cruz del Cóndor, where the vast Colca Canyon unfolds beneath you and the majestic Andean condor may soar overhead, a timeless symbol of the Andes.

Continue through traditional villages and ancient terraces before crossing the dramatic highlands toward Puno.

Arrive at Lake Titicaca, where a new chapter of your Andean journey begins.

 

Sail across the legendary waters of Lake Titicaca to discover the floating islands of the Uros and the living traditions of Taquile.

Connect with ancestral ways of life, remarkable textile heritage, and communities deeply connected to the lake. Enjoy a local lunch surrounded by the serenity and endless blue of the Andes.

Return to Puno carrying a deeper connection to the timeless spirit of Titicaca.

 

Board the elegant PeruRail Titicaca for an unforgettable passage across the vast Andean highlands, travelling from Puno to the ancient city of Cusco.

As the train winds through the Altiplano, sweeping plains, remote Andean communities and dramatic mountain landscapes unfold beyond the panoramic windows. Along the way, enjoy refined Peruvian cuisine and traditional live music, thoughtfully woven into one of South America’s most scenic rail experiences.

By late afternoon, arrive in Cusco, where centuries of Inca heritage and colonial history set the stage for the next chapter of your Peruvian journey.

 

Journey to Cuper to walk with alpacas, participate in a sacred Pachamama offering, discover ancestral textiles, and share a traditional Pachamanca. Continue to Cerámicas Seminario to create your own piece before returning to Cusco with a deeper connection to the living Andes.

 

Journey into the Sacred Valley to the Potato Park, a living Andean sanctuary where communities protect native crops, ancestral knowledge, and a profound relationship with the land.

Discover the extraordinary diversity of native potatoes through local flavors, traditional agriculture, medicinal plants, and textile traditions preserved across generations. Share a private Andean lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients, surrounded by the landscapes and people who keep this heritage alive.

Continue to Ollantaytambo carrying more than a cultural memory: a deeper understanding of how the Andes have sustained life, identity, and tradition for centuries.

 

Journey through the Sacred Valley as mountains, rivers, and cloud forests lead you toward the legendary Machu Picchu.

Explore the ancient citadel with your private guide, discovering its sacred temples, remarkable architecture, and enduring connection with the Andean world. Surrounded by dramatic peaks, experience a place where history, nature, and spirituality become inseparable.

After lunch, return to Cusco carrying more than the memory of Machu Picchu: a profound connection with the timeless spirit of the Andes.

 

After breakfast, we will provide your private transfer to the Cusco airport to board the return flight to Lima.

Thus concludes this traverse through Peru’s most emblematic landscapes, cultures, and traditions, carrying away memories of authentic experiences, moments of connection, and the ancestral spirit of the Andes.
