A Curated Journey Through Peru: Where Luxury Meets Meaning
There’s a moment, somewhere between the Andes and Lake Titicaca, when Peru stops being a destination and becomes a feeling.
This journey was designed for people who want more than comfort. This journey is designed for those who value curation, access, and genuine connection. Over eleven thoughtfully paced days, this itinerary blends iconic highlights with intimate, behind-the-scenes experiences, always leaving space to breathe, observe, and feel.
Day 1 – Arriving Gently in Lima
The journey begins with ease. Upon arriving in Lima, you are welcomed by our local team and invited into a short private briefing that sets the tone for what lies ahead, a journey designed with intention, detail, and care.
No rushing. Just arrival.
Day 2 – Into the Andes: The Sacred Valley
A flight brings you to Cusco, where you immediately descend into the Sacred Valley, a softer altitude and a calmer introduction to the Andes. Along the way, you explore a lesser-known pre-Inca archaeological site perched above the Valley. Quiet, expansive, and deeply atmospheric, it offers a first, unfiltered connection to the region’s ancient past.
Day 3 – Machu Picchu, Unrushed
You board the Inca Rail First Class Train, where panoramic windows and the bar car frame rivers, mountains, and remote villages as you glide toward Aguas Calientes. The anticipation builds naturally, no rush, no crowds, just movement through landscape.
With a private guide, you explore Machu Picchu’s terraces, temples, and ceremonial spaces at your own pace, absorbing not just history, but presence.
Day 4 – Huayna Picchu & Ollantaytambo
For those seeking a deeper physical connection to the site, an early hike up Huayna Picchu offers one of the most breathtaking perspectives in the Andes. From the summit, Machu Picchu reveals its full architectural logic, a city perfectly woven into the mountain.
Later, you return through the Sacred Valley to explore Ollantaytambo, one of the last living Inca towns. The day ends surrounded by the gardens and warmth of Sol y Luna, a hotel deeply connected to community, culture, and purpose
Day 5 – Moray, Maras & Andean Flavors
This is a day where landscape and culture intertwine.
At Moray, circular terraces reveal the Incas’ agricultural genius. In Maras, thousands of salt ponds shimmer against the mountains, a tradition still carried on by local families.
Lunch at a beautiful countryside restaurant rooted in local produce and Andean flavors, anchors the experience before continuing your journey through the valley. The day ends in Cusco at the historic Palacio del Inka, once a colonial palace built atop Inca foundations.
Day 6 – Cusco, Between Eras
Today is dedicated to the city itself. You explore Cusco’s historic core, and the often-overlooked San Francisco Convent, with its catacombs and rooftop views over the city. This is a day to wander, observe, and let the city charm you.
Day 7 – The Andean Crossing to Lake Titicaca
A full-day journey aboard the Titicaca Train is less about getting somewhere and more about the experience itself. Inspired by 1920s Pullman trains, it offers gourmet dining, an open-air observatory car, and uninterrupted views of highland villages and snow-capped peaks.
Stay at Titilaka Lodge, an all-inclusive retreat set on a private peninsula overlooking Lake Titicaca, serene, expansive, and deeply connected to the surrounding communities.
Day 8 – Lake Titicaca, Your Way
This day is intentionally open. From kayaking across glassy waters to visiting the Uros floating islands, hiking remote viewpoints, or exploring pre-Inca sites, activities are shaped around your interests. Every experience is designed to be authentic, respectful, and unrushed, always with the comfort of returning to Titilaka’s warmth and refined cuisine.
Day 9 – Return to Lima
A quiet farewell to the Andes.
You fly back to Lima and lunch awaits you beside the ancient pyramid at Huaca Pucllana.
Check into Atemporal, a refined boutique hotel housed in a restored Tudor-style mansion in the heart of Miraflores.
Day 10 – A Thoughtful Farewell
Your final morning unfolds in Lima’s historic center. You visit Casa de Aliaga, one of the oldest continuously inhabited colonial homes in the Americas, and Casa de la Cultura Criolla, celebrating Peru’s living traditions.
From here, you depart carrying more than memories, carrying understanding.
This journey is not just about seeing Peru.
It’s about understanding it, and enjoying it, slowly, deeply, and on your own terms.
