ESSENCE OF THE INCA WORLD | 7 NIGHTS

Explore Bohemian Barranco

Between vibrant murals, century-old mansions, and a creative spirit, Barranco reveals Lima’s most charming side. Small in size yet full of inspiration, this district is a haven for Peru’s artists, writers, and musicians. Stroll through tree-lined streets, uncover distinctive boutiques, intimate cafés, and soulful spaces that inspire a pause. Here, time slows—where past and present, tradition and contemporary expression blend in harmony.

Visit Pisac Archaeological Site and Calca Market (from Sacred Valley)

High in the Sacred Valley, the archaeological site of Pisac stretches across well-preserved terraces that follow the natural shape of the mountain. Once an important ceremonial and agricultural centre, it holds the only known Inca sun dial outside of Machu Picchu, overlooking a valley still guided by its cycles.

Further down, Calca offers a closer look at everyday life. Its market is active and authentic, with stalls offering herbs, flowers and seasonal produce. Tradition here is lived rather than displayed, forming a natural part of the community’s daily rhythm.

Please allow approximately four hours for the entire experience.

Visit Moray, Maras & Ollantaytambo

At Moray, circular terraces descend precisely into the earth. While their exact purpose remains uncertain, it is widely believed they served as a centre for agricultural experimentation, adapted to the landscape with remarkable environmental understanding.

Nearby, the salt ponds of Maras reflect tones of white and gold. Still harvested by hand as they have been for generations, they represent a craft that continues today. Finally, in Ollantaytambo, Inca terraces and stone streets preserve the structure and rhythm of a living town shaped by history.

Please allow approximately six hours for the entire experience.

Explore Machu Picchu

Above a lush canyon, the citadel of Machu Picchu rises among mist and stone — a presence both powerful and serene. As you ascend on foot and by scenic drive, the first glimpse of its terraces and walls feels almost whispered, as if the mountain reveals itself only to those who arrive with quiet intent. With your local guide, explore this sacred sanctuary shaped by vision, stone and time. Each pathway opens a window into another world — where precision and reverence echo through carved rock and silence. This is more than a place; it is a quiet encounter with something enduring.

• Please allow approximately three hours for the guided route and four hours for the entire experience.
• You must present your passport to enter Machu Picchu Citadel.
