When your international flight arrives in Lima, look for your Kuoda host holding a sign with your name on it! We know you’ll most likely be a little tired after your long flight, so we’ll save you the stress of navigating and bringing you straight to your hotel adjacent to the airport where you can shake off that icky flight feeling with a shower and a sleep. Relax into the evening and enjoy a good night’s rest before your flight to Cusco in the morning – the first stop on your Peru adventure tour!
Fill up with a complimentary buffet breakfast in the hotel before catching your morning flight to Cusco. The flight time between the two cities is welcomingly short (less than an hour and a half). The views from the plane window – the desert coast at first before the needle-like peaks of the Andes come into view – are a great distraction to pass the time.
We will be waiting for you when you touch down at our Andean airport and will bring you to the historic city center of Cusco for a delicious early lunch.
Then, before you can feel the altitude, we’ll whisk you into the Sacred Valley. Just an hour outside of Cusco, true Peruvian countryside will stretch away on either side of you, cows and sheep grazing tranquilly on the roadside. Impossibly steep peaks rise in the distance.
Your journey will take you to the ruins nestled in the mountains above the pueblo of Pisac, where you’ll learn about Incan agricultural practices cultivating corn and potatoes. From here, you’ll be able to see the verdant farmland where the Incas once cultivated their crops and where modern-day Quechua people continue to farm.
From here, you’ll descend on a leisurely hike through terraces and breathtaking scenery to the vibrant market in Pisac’s main square – where you’ll have the chance to rub shoulders with locals as you survey the artisan offerings of the market. Vegetables, textiles, and silver jewelry are just some of the items that are sold here. Later, return to the hotel of your choice.
Today’s journey through the Sacred Valley of the Incas will start with an ATV adventure, taking you at high speeds through rural paths and agricultural lands. Once you’ve got the lay of the land from a high-speed vehicle on firm ground, it’s time to head into the air.
Enjoy a fresh, gourmet lunch, and receive a safety briefing on the harnesses and helmets that will become like your second skin tonight. Masterfully climb your way up what seems like a sheer cliff face, using steel rungs as your guide.
After a 1,500 ft. ascent, you’ll arrive at your one-of-a-kind luxury hotel for the evening – a glass pod dangling off the cliff face, providing 300-degree views of the Sacred Valley below you!
Although it may surprise some, be prepared for a well-earned and truly gourmet meal, enjoyed with a fine glass of red wine and the best possible scenery. Marvel at the thousands of stars visible above you – you might even call this a thousand-star hotel – and tuck yourself into your comfy bed complete with a real mattress and cozy down comforter.
Wake up to one of the best views ever and look around you – did you forget you slept hundreds of meters in the air in a capsule bolted to a cliff? Enjoy an al fresco breakfast and get ready to zip back down the mountain.
Through six zip lines crisscrossing the path you took yesterday to arrive at your one-of-a-kind suite, you’ll return to the valley floor. Bid your harness and helmet farewell and return to your hotel for a scrumptious lunch. Then, we’re off again! Commune with a four-legged friend and experience the smoothest gait of any horse worldwide – that of the Peruvian Paso Fino horse. Trot through the countryside and return in time for an evening at leisure in the Sacred Valley.
Today, prepare to walk in the footsteps of the Inca and arrive proudly on foot at Machu Picchu. We’ll collect you from your hotel bright and early this morning and drive through the picturesque Sacred Valley to the train station in Ollantaytambo, where we’ll board the luxury Vistadome train.
You and your guide will disembark the train at the Inca Trail trailhead found at Kilometer 104, and from here you will walk the lovely uphill path to the ruins of Wiñaywayna. As you walk, your guide will point out orchids and other jungle plants, the Urubamba River will rush below you, and you’ll marvel at the Inca’s strength and ingenuity. When you reach the ruins of Wiñaywayna, you’ll rest up, explore, and enjoy a delicious al fresco lunch.
Then you’ll hit the trail once again! A walk of approximately two hours brings you to Inti Punku, the famous Sun Gate.
You’ll approach this stone construction up one last flight of stairs, catch your breath, and then lose it again as you see Machu Picchu, nestled and hidden between steep peaks below you.
Descend triumphantly over ancient paving stones to the lost citadel, and relish in the audacity of a construction of this caliber in this stunning location before catching the bus to Aguas Calientes and checking in to your hotel. Your guide will then leave you to rest, refresh, and enjoy a delicious and well-earned dinner on-site.
Today you have the option to hike two different trails – Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, so it’s completely up to you how you would like to culminate your Machu Picchu luxury tour. Feeling adventurous? Consider hiking the steep slope of neighboring Huayna Picchu, which offers unrivaled views over Machu Picchu.
Please note that only a limited number of hikers are allowed to climb Huayna Picchu each day and tickets will need to be purchased in advance along with your Machu Picchu entrance.
In the afternoon, reconvene in Aguas Calientes and board the return train to Ollantaytambo. Your Kuoda host will meet you at the station and bring you to your hotel for a well-deserved good night’s rest.
This morning it’s off to explore the hills surrounding Cusco via mountain bike! Strap on your helmet and it’s off we go, through the greater Sacsayhuaman National Park. Keep an eye out for unmarked and seldom-visited Incan ruins.
After lunch, you’ll continue your journey through Cusco – a picturesque city that is loved by travelers from all over the world. Wander through the cobblestone streets in the company of your guide who will help illuminate the history of this colonial city. As you explore the city’s sights, Qoricancha and the Santo Domingo monastery, a colonial structure built on top of the ancient Inca temple of the sun, Cusco’s striking cultural blend will soon become apparent.
Roam the atmospheric streets of the bohemian neighborhood of San Blas, which is known for its free-spirited scene; see where the locals make their grocery runs at the open-air San Pedro market and pass the famous 12-angled stone, whose image appears on the bottle of the local Cusqueña beer.
Wake up with a gleam in your eye, for a day of adventure lies ahead! After breakfast, your private driver will meet you at your hotel and whisk you over the hills surrounding Cusco into the beautiful purple countryside beyond. You’ll pass fields with grazing cows and sheep, tended by women in full skirts and traditional braids, adobe houses, and colonial churches. Enjoy the feeling of freedom in the country air.
After ninety minutes, you’ll arrive in the small town of Chuquicahuana where you will receive a safety briefing with procedures for the start of your adventure at the Upper Urubamba River. Here, you will work together to prepare the equipment and inflate the rafts before gearing up and climbing in.
You’ll spend three hours navigating the river as a team and taking in the stunning scenery – dry mountains, green fields, small farmsteads, and an incredibly big blue sky. You’ll even take on class III and class IV rapids, so prepare to get a little wet.
When you disembark, relish an al fresco lunch and then relax as we drive you back to your hotel in Cusco for an evening at leisure.
This morning, you can continue your exploration of the city of Cusco, or have a lie-in and enjoy the comforts of your hotel. At the appropriate time mid-day, we will bring you to the Cusco airport for your return flight to Lima. Your Kuoda Lima host will meet you upon arrival and bring you to Miraflores pier, where your instructor will give you a safety briefing for your tandem paragliding tour.
Take a running leap of faith into the air and enjoy the spectacular views over the ocean and the seaside district of Miraflores, where you will find manicured parks and laid-back surfers, all overlooking one of Lima’s most popular neighborhoods. After your flight, you’ll have some free time to explore at leisure and grab a bite to eat at one of the neighborhood’s award-winning restaurants.
After you’ve finished a nutritious breakfast, your guide and private driver will meet you at your hotel. Then, it’s through the arid but beautiful countryside on a road trip adventure. After approximately four hours you will reach Ica, where you will board the small plane ready to take you soaring over the world-renowned Nazca Lines.
Created by the Nazca people between 400 and 650AD, the purpose of these massive earthworks is still shrouded in mystery. Experts suspect they were related to Nazca cosmology and religious worship, but you can form your own hypothesis as you fly above them! You’ll touch back down after approximately 90 minutes, enjoy a box lunch, and make your way to the iconic oasis of Huacachina.
This oasis – crystal clear water and palm trees surrounded by sand as far as the eyes can see – is home to some of the best dune buggy adventures in the world. Grab your sunglasses and strap in for a wild ride. Cruise over the dunes and partake in a thrilling sandboarding lesson before pausing to watch the sunset over the expanse of dunes.
Return to the Oasis where your private vehicle will be waiting to bring you to your hotel in Paracas, approximately 40 minutes away.
Paracas, with its incredible biodiversity, beautiful coastal landscapes, and remote location is often referred to as Peru’s “mini Galapagos”. A treasure of a destination, Paracas will give you the experience of getting up close and personal with Peru’s coastal wildlife: we’ll meet you in the hotel lobby and then bring you to the Paracas Peninsula harbor.
We’ll board a speedboat and enjoy a scenic ride through an area often called the “Galapagos of Peru”. Here, the cold plankton-rich Humboldt Current meets warmer tropical waters, creating ideal feeding grounds for a host of wildlife: pelicans, flamingoes, Inca terns, sea lions, penguins, hammerhead sharks, and even whales. As we speed toward the islands, you’ll see the mysterious ancient earthwork – the Candelabro.
Your guide will expand on the various theories about its creation and meaning, although no one has yet convincingly illuminated its past. You’ll touch back down after 35 minutes and make your way back to your private car, where you will enjoy a relaxing drive back to the capital.
At the appropriate time, we will bring you to the airport for your journey home. Your host will help you to check in to your international flight and wish you buen viaje!

When your flight arrives in Lima, a Inkas Blood host will welcome you personally and escort you to the hotel. Instead of navigating a new city after a long flight, let us take care of the transportation logistics. We will drop you off at your hotel so you can refresh and enjoy a peaceful evening before the real excursion starts. Relax with a good night’s rest before your flight to Puerto Maldonado in the morning.
After flying from Lima to Cusco, your guide will take you on a unique adventure giving you a glimpse at local life in the surrounding valley. Just 15 minutes outside of Cusco, true Peruvian countryside will stretch away on either side of you, with sheep grazing tranquilly in the fields.Impossibly steep peaks rise in the distance. Your journey will take you to an ancient hacienda, nestled in the fertile valley next to the pueblo of Pisac.
Step into centuries past while your hosts provide an educational tour about the growing process of Giant White Corn and its profound cultural significance in the Andes Mountains. This hacienda dates back generations, and you’ll immediately be immersed in local customs steeped in the mysticism of the Andes, embraced by the warmth of local Peruvians.
Relish your time on the farm with a delicious multi-course lunch, sampling authentic cuisine featuring none other than the “white gold” giant-kernelled corn. Be sure to visit the on-site stables housing the renowned Peruvian Paso horses! Watch how they dance with their human counterparts in a “marinera” demonstration and even go for a quick trot yourself if you feel up to the task!
From there, your exclusive tour of Peru will take you to another valley town – Pisac – where you’ll have the chance to socialize with locals as you survey the artisan offerings of the market. Vegetables, textiles, and silver jewelry are just some of the items that are sold. Later, return to the hotel of your choice for a restful evening.
Journey through the Inca’s Sacred Valley, starting with a drive through the breathtaking Patacancha Valley. After a stop at the ruins of Pumamarca, you will begin the hike down a pre-Columbian trail, following ancient irrigation canals that line terraced fields still in use today.
After approximately two hours of easy hiking, the town of Ollantaytambo will appear, where the influence of the Incas is still very much visible. Water from the mountains trickles down to the Inca-built street canals, while original Inca walls and trapezoidal doors still stand.
With your guide by your side, ascend beyond the slope-side terraces to the ruins of a centuries-old fortress above the town. This is the spot where the Incas secured an important victory over the Spanish conquistadors. Inspect the intricately hewn stone constructions and have your guide show you the distant quarries from which the Incas sourced their materials. This site also affords fabulous views of the valley and the Urubamba River that meanders through it.
Following a lunch featuring local flavors, hop back in the car. This time, we’ll take you to our favorite artist’s workshop, famous throughout Peru for handcrafted ceramics. Spend the afternoon laughing, learning, and creating hand-made souvenirs with a Peruvian flair to bring home with you!
Upon completion of your tour, we will bring you back to your hotel for an evening spent at leisure.
This is the moment all Peruvian explorers wait for. Board the train in Ollantaytambo to begin your Machu Picchu journey. Watch the cloud jungle pass by through the large glass windows, and see if you can spot some alpacas grazing in the valley! When you arrive in Aguas Calientes, enjoy an early lunch before ascending to the lost Incan citadel.
After a bus ride to the gates of South America’s most notable wonder, you will finally emerge at the top of the world – Machu Picchu. The incredible Inca stone citadel will reveal itself to you as you enter the main gates, a city intertwined with the clouds. Your expert guide will give you a private tour of the ancient city.
Upon conclusion of your tour, return for an evening in Aguas Calientes. Enjoy an excellent dinner on-site at your hotel and fall into bed, lulled to sleep by the sound of the cloud forest around you.
Today you have the option to hike two different trails – Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, so it’s completely up to you! This will be the culmination of your Machu Picchu luxury tour, so enjoy it however you want. Adventurous travelers who desire something off-the-beaten-path should hike the steep slope of Huayna Picchu, offering unrivaled views of Machu Picchu.
Please note that only a limited amount of hikers are allowed to climb Huayna Picchu each day and tickets will need to be purchased in advance along with your Machu Picchu entrance.
In the afternoon, reconvene in Aguas Calientes and board the return train to Ollantaytambo. Your Inkas Blood host will meet you at the station and bring you to your hotel for a well-earned evening of rest.
Prepare to fall in love with Cusco, a gorgeous city that wins the heart of almost every traveler that passes through it. A private tour is the best way to learn about this historic city, and get the best insider secrets! After breakfast, meet your guide and wander among the archaeological remains of Sacsayhuaman, where the Incas staged a great battle against the conquistadors.
Return to the city and venture through the bohemian neighborhood of San Blas, a hub of artistic inspiration. Explore Qoricancha and the Santo Domingo monastery, a colonial structure built on top of the ancient Inca temple of the sun. Live like a local and grab some groceries in the open-air San Pedro market for a delightful shopping experience!
At the end of the tour, your guide will suggest a few places to enjoy a delicious lunch.
After breakfast at your hotel, we will escort you back to the airport for your flight to Iquitos before setting sail on the luxurious Delfin II ship. Upon arrival, you’ll meet your Delfin guide and take a seat for a scenic 90-minute drive to the small village of Nauta where the ship will be anchored.
Board the Delfin II and settle into a five-star cabin. After a safety drill and a quick briefing, tuck into a delicious welcome dinner and toast the beginning of your voyage with a glass of fine South American wine.
On your first morning, getting up early is highly recommended! This enables you to appreciate one of the most important zones of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Wildlife is most abundant and active with the rising of the sun, so you’ll have plenty of company to look for.
During the dry season (Jun-Nov), you will have the chance to do some hiking at Belluda Caño, where you can explore two different kinds of ecosystems: the “flooded forest” and the “terra firme” forest. Here you may see snail kites, black-tailed antbirds, manikins, tanagers, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, nun birds, orioles, blackbirds, and pygmy marmosets. Your hike will take you to a lagoon filled with endangered and unique freshwater fish, where you will explore the waters in a dugout canoe.
During the wet season (Dec-May), you will explore Belluda Cano Creek by skiff. Here you will get a chance to spot parrots, macaws, and monkeys. You may also see Morpho butterflies and various species of hawks, including the “laughing falcon,” named for its loud falsetto call.
This afternoon we’ll visit the Dorado River (“golden river”), where you might choose to go fishing for a piranha, a captivating and challenging experience you won’t forget! Or, you might want to go swimming with the delightful pink river dolphins, which some locals believe can transform into beautiful humans.
These rare yet friendly creatures are mostly found in the freshwater rivers of the Amazon, near Iquitos. Make sure you bring your bathing suit and a waterproof camera! As night approaches, your guide will take you on a night safari in search of caiman alligators, nocturnal birds, and creepy crawlers.
The morning is a perfect time for kayaking along the calm and inspiring rainforest waters of Zapote River. Your guides will take you upstream while you spot prehistoric-looking iguanas lying lazily in the sun. Travel along the shore and be ready for whatever the jungle has to offer. Squirrel monkeys are very active at this time of the day when they move in large noisy troops amongst the canopies.
In the afternoon, you will reach the Pacaya River at the heart of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, Peru’s largest protected area. This is by far the largest protected wetland reserve in the world, filled with lakes, palm swamps, and streams. The reserve becomes a flooded forest in the rainy season and is a highlight of any Amazon excursion. You will also have the chance to swim in one of the pristine lagoons in this wonderful region!
After breakfast, climb aboard the aluminum skiff to explore Clavero Lake, where you will have a chance to venture deep into the rainforest and see a fantastic array of flora and fauna as local villagers paddle in their traditional canoes.
During the afternoon, you’ll have the opportunity to test your own skills on the water. First, you’ll sail to the Yarapa River on the skiffs, and then it’s into your very own kayak. Paddle through the tranquil waters, keeping an eye out for native flora and fauna at every turn! Next, you’ll visit the village of Puerto Miguel to meet local villagers who have called Amazonia their home for generations.
Here, your naturalist guides will introduce you to village life in the jungle, and you’ll learn about native plants, local customs, and the seamless interaction between humans and wildlife.
Fall asleep for the last time under the Amazonian stars as the Delfin pull you back towards Iquitos.
After one final breakfast on the ship, you will arrive at the port of Nauta. The ground crew will be waiting to take you by private vehicle back to the city of Iquitos. As you journey back from Nauta to the Iquitos airport, you will stop at the Rescue & Rehabilitation Center of River Mammals (ACOBIA). Here, you will have the chance to meet baby manatees and learn about these wonderful, docile creatures, and why they are on the endangered species list!
Afterward, your guide will bring you to Iquitos airport for your return flight to Lima. In Lima, you will be met by a Inkas Blood host, who will escort you to Costa del Sol on-site airport hotel and will leave you to enjoy one final dinner in Peru before your international flight. Buen viaje!

Tomorrow, your adventure through Bolivia truly begins!
Unveiling the Wonders of La Paz
Start your day with a guided journey through the heart of La Paz, where history and culture come to life. Stroll through Plaza Murillo, explore fascinating museums, and browse the vibrant stalls of the renowned Witches’ Market, where tradition and mysticism intertwine.
In the afternoon, escape the city’s bustle and venture into the surreal landscapes of the Valley of the Moon. Shaped by centuries of erosion, its jagged peaks and otherworldly formations make for an unforgettable experience.
Journey to the Heart of an Ancient Civilization
Step back in time as you visit Tiahuanaco, the capital of a remarkable civilization that flourished around A.D. 700. Explore the remains of this advanced society, from the towering Sun Gate to the impressive monoliths and the grand pyramid that still holds untold secrets. As you wander through these awe-inspiring ruins, uncover the mysteries of a culture that predates the Inca.
After a day of discovery, return to La Paz and enjoy a relaxing evening at your own pace.
Journey to the Historic Heights of Potosí
Start your day with a seamless transfer to the airport for a short flight to Potosí, a city steeped in history and once renowned for its vast silver wealth. Though its mining heyday has passed, Potosí remains a treasure trove of colonial charm. Wander through streets lined with grand churches, admire the intricate architecture, and step into the opulent Royal Mint, where the echoes of a rich past still linger.
Tour of Potosí and its Silver Mines
After breakfast, begin your journey across Potosí and the surrounding region. Start by traveling to the mineral-rich mountain of Cerro Rico. According to legends, this peak produced enough silver to build a solid silver bridge from Potosí all the way to Madrid.
Venture to the heart of the mountain to see the silver mines that helped finance Spain’s South American Empire. Learn about the complex history of silver production in Bolivia, and listen to how these tunnels still contribute to the city’s economy.
Back in town, take a walk through the Casa de la Moneda (Royal Mint). Examine the wooden machinery that was used to make the silver currencies for Spain during colonial days. Then, visit the Santa Teresa Museum and a few extra highlights on a private guided tour to end the afternoon.

Later, you’ll be dropped off back at your luxury hotel in Sucre.
Flight to Santa Cruz
Fly to the jungle town of Santa Cruz de la Sierra this morning. We will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel of choice, where you can spend the evening relaxing.
Though Santa Cruz is one of Bolivia’s largest cities, it feels more like a small town. With narrow streets, old-fashioned buildings, and colonial plazas bustling with locals, there is an intimate ambiance that will welcome you warmly. If you’re feeling up to it, roam around the city, check out the museums and galleries, and indulge in a luxury dinner at one of the local restaurants. Or, if you’re looking for a more laid-back day, you could simply relax under the tropical sun lounging by the hotel pool.
Travel back in time on a guided bus tour to the six Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos, which were established in the 16th century to evangelize the locals. On the drive there, you’ll stop to stretch your legs at several serene, leafy parks and flower-filled gardens.
Your first stop is the Mission of San Javier, the oldest of the six sites. Erected in the mid-18th century, this mission was restored and brought back to its former glory in the latter half of the 20th century.
Explore the site and enjoy lunch, before continuing on to the larger Mission of Concepción for a relaxing evening.
Discover the Jesuit Missions de Chiquitos.
Following breakfast, visit the Mission of Concepción, where you’ll admire its breathtaking cathedral and explore a charming town filled with shops offering local crafts.

Discover the Charm of Cochabamba
Your Bolivian adventure continues with a scenic drive west, climbing toward the welcoming city of Cochabamba, nestled at an altitude of just over 8,200 feet. Known as “The City of Eternal Spring,” Cochabamba enjoys mild, pleasant weather all year round, making it the perfect place to enjoy outdoor dining, leisurely walks, and a laid-back atmosphere reminiscent of a Mediterranean escape.
Upon arrival, settle into your elegant boutique hotel and take a moment to relax before exploring this enchanting city.
Unveiling Cochabamba’s Treasures
Start your morning with a guided exploration of Cochabamba, a city brimming with history and culture. Stroll along the lively El Prado Boulevard, leading to the city’s main square, where the stunning cathedral stands as a symbol of its colonial past. Step inside the University of San Simón’s Archaeological Museum and the Alcides D’Orbigny Natural History Museum to uncover fascinating artifacts and exhibits.
Next, immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of La Cancha, one of the largest open-air markets in South America—so vast that it even has its own postal code!
Conclude your tour with a visit to the Cristo de la Concordia, a towering statue of Christ that rises even higher than Rio’s Christ the Redeemer. Whether you choose to take a scenic cable car ride or climb the 2,000 steps to the summit, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of Cochabamba and the distant peaks of the Bolivian Andes.
A Warm Goodbye to Bolivia
As your incredible journey through Bolivia comes to an end, we’ll ensure your departure is seamless and stress-free.
