The Sacred Valley,Lima,Machu Picchu
100% customisable for you
This evening, take an overnight flight from London to Bogota, Colombia. It's a journey of around 11 hours so remember to pack a good book - we'll also recommend a reading list before you go.
Touchdown into Bogota this morning where you have a three-hour layover. If you're travelling with children, now might be a good time to deploy your Sharky & George packs, full of fun games and activities that will keep them entertained. Next, board an onward flight to Cusco where, on arrival, a private chauffeur will whisk you down to the Sacred Valley. We suggest taking it easy today as you'll be acclimatising to the altitude. If you feel like stretching your legs in the afternoon, take a stroll around the nearby Ollantaytambo, one of the best surviving Inca cities (and one of the prettiest). Its labyrinthine cobbled streets are ideal for a gentle amble.
This morning, a private transfer will take you to Ollantaytambo for a one-and-a-half-hour train ride to Machu Picchu Town. The scenery alone is worth the journey from the Sacred Valley's rolling quinoa fields all the way to the steamy tropical jungle. On arrival, hop on a bus which will take you straight up to the iconic Inca citadel. Little can prepare you for Machu Picchu's mountain kingdom. Its expansive grassy avenues, intact stone structures and sacred monuments are nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Your expert guide knows the best spots for the perfect picture and will help you navigate the inevitable crowds, all the while regaling stories of this site riddled with mystery. Adventurers may also want to consider a day hike from the KM104 part of the Inca trail, which takes you to Machu Picchu's famed Sun Gate entrance. We'll provide the porters and a picnic lunch. Afterwards, head back down to town where your hotel awaits.
After a leisurely breakfast, meet your guide and board the train to the city of Cusco. You arrive in the afternoon where a private transfer will take you to your hotel in the historic heart of the city. Take the afternoon to unwind or explore as you please.
Wake up early for your short flight to Lima where, on arrival, a private chauffeur will take you to your hotel. Drop your bags and head out with your guide on an introductory walk around the well-heeled Miraflores District and the artsy Barranco neighbourhood, full of art galleries and characterful mansions.
