Lima – Paracas – Ica – Huacachina – Cusco – Sacred Valley – Machu Picchu
The journey begins by the sea
Lima welcomes you with its vibrant fusion of tradition and modernity. You will stroll through Barranco, the most bohemian neighborhood of the city, and walk along the cliffs of Miraflores. Unique flavors and sunsets that blend with the Pacific Ocean will await you. A gentle yet characterful arrival that marks the beginning of the contrasts you will experience on this journey.
A desert that beats between dunes and oases
Just a few hours south, Ica opens its sands to you. You will navigate through the Paracas islands among sea lions and birds, and walk on the golden dunes of Huacachina at sunset. This part of the journey combines the joy of nature with the timelessness of the oases, without hurry and with warm air.
The spiritual ascent to the Andes
The flight to Cusco sets a new rhythm. You are greeted by a lively city, where every stone has a story and every corner holds Inca and colonial secrets. Here you will begin a deeper connection with the land: you will visit local markets, cobblestone streets, and ancestral temples, while not neglecting rest and comfort.
The Sacred Valley and life among the mountains
You will traverse the Sacred Valley on a journey of textures: ancient terraces, towns like Ollantaytambo that still retain the Incan trace, and salt flats that shine in the sun. This part of the journey invites slow wonder, with gentle walks, time to breathe, and natural spaces that inspire.
Machu Picchu, the natural and symbolic climax
You will travel by train through jungle landscapes until you reach the jewel of the empire. Machu Picchu is not just an archaeological site, it is a mystical experience, a silence that speaks, and a gift for the memory. Here your journey culminates: from the coast to the sacred mountain.
