Peru trips itinerary

Day 1:Arrival in Lima and hotel check-in

When you arrive in Lima your Travel 1 host will welcome you and escort you to the nearby Wyndham Costa Del Sol Hotel in the Lima airport. Because most international flights arrive quite late and flights to Cusco depart early the following morning, staying at the airport hotel will allow you to maximize your sleep and begin your vacation feeling well-rested.

Day 2:Flight from Lima to Cusco and City Tour

On your second day in Peru our team will escort you to the check-in counter at the airport for your morning flight to Cusco. You will fly over the mountains to the Heart of the Andes, Cusco.

When you arrive in Cusco our team will meet you at the airport and drive you in our private van over to your hotel in the Historic Center of Cusco. At your hotel there will be natural teas available free of charge. Teas like muña and coca are delicious and also help you to acclimate to the high altitude.

In the afternoon at 2 pm you will start your City Tour of Cusco. Your tour begins in the impressive Colonial Cathedral of Cusco. This iconic church contains more than 400 paintings from the Cusco School of Fine Arts, as well as an impressive collection of colonial art, including “The Last Supper” by Marcos Zapata which shows the apostles eating cuy (Guinea Pig) as the main course. Then you will continue by visiting the Temple of the Sun (Qoricancha). According to the historians to this temple could only be entered barefoot, after fasting for a day, and while carrying a heavy load as a sign of humility. During Incan times this was the most important religious site in their entire Empire (Tahuantinsuyo).

Them you will leave the city and go up to the immense Fortress of Sacsayhuaman. It is built of gigantic blocks of cut stone. Some of this blocks weigh more than 100 tons. As you walk around this ruins, you will be amazed to discover how finely these inmense blocks are joined together without mortar.

Then you can explore the Chinchero Archeological Site where you can witness both Incan architecture and Spanish Colonial religious architecture imposed on top of it.

After Chinchero you will proceed to the incredible agricultural testing station of Moray. Observe there the great skill that the Incas exhibited in their farming techniques. See how they adapted plants to different climatic zones. Great circular terraces were employed where the temperatures changed depending on the altitude. As you descend the terraces, the temperature increases. It is thought by historians that the Incas studied climatic conditions and soil properties here. They learned how to cultivate and to adapt different kinds of food crops that originally grew in distinct regions of their Empire. The Incas had extraordinary knowledge of climates and microclimates.

Salineras Salt Mines will be your next stop, this is an impressive site that consists of over 5000 small wells where salt is collected. The local people let the salt water flow into depressions which they have dug out. Then the sun evaporates the water, leaving behind a crust of salt which is then collected and sold on the local market.
