Plug into Adventure in Peru
Unplug from work and connect to adventure when you treat yourself to this solo expedition of Peru. Visit iconic sites and enjoy amazing scenery between destinations.
Why this is the solo trip you need…
You work hard, but sometimes that means being so focused on the future that you forget to enjoy the present. Make the most of your vacation time when you spend your days treating yourself to adventure after adventure in Peru. You can’t keep checking your device if you need to hold on to a zip line!
The most adventurous part of this trip will be…
Zip lining is always an adrenaline adventure, but we’ve designed this Signature Trip to take you to some iconic sites. It’s a toss-up between a cultural tour of Machu Picchu (with time to explore on your own) and hiking the colorful Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain. Decisions, decisions.
The most relaxing part of this trip will be…
Two scenic train rides through the Peruvian landscape. Sometimes, it really is best to watch the world pass you by –– especially when you make your way through Peru’s highlands and Sacred Valley. Multitask when the journey is part of the experience.
Places you'll stay
Lima
The coastal city of Lima is diverse, with colorful parks, friendly locals, tasty cuisine, vibrant markets, and ancient historical attractions. Travelers can tour world-class museums, wander through the colonial architecture of Miraflores, and eat seafood along the Pacific coast.
Destination
Cusco
Nestling in the dip of the Watanay River Valley, from above the city of Cusco takes the shape of a puma, which some historians theorize was a purposeful design. As the city expands, its borders creep up the sides of the surrounding mountains, but puma statues, fountains, and signs keep the big cat’s status of unofficial city mascot.
Destination
Aguas Calientes
Aguas Calientes is the closest town to Machu Picchu. Staying here for a night or two will give you intimate access to this incredible Inca site.
Destination
The Sacred Valley
The first inhabitants of the Sacred Valley treasured this land not only for its dramatic landscapes and sweeping vistas—the Sacred Valley also offered ample opportunities for agriculture, and had plentiful water just beyond the reaches of the parched desert. Its fertility was the result of a sunny climate and the Río Urubamba coursing through the valley.
Destination
Moments to look forward to
Ollantaytambo Fortress
The staggeringly steep Inca ruins at the Ollantaytambo Fortress loom over the north side of the town of Ollantaytambo. They are famous for being one of the few places where the Incas defeated Spanish conquerors in a major battle.
Attraction
Pisac Market
With both ancient and modern attractions, the charming colonial town of Písac has truly earned its place on the map. It lies 20 miles (32 km) northeast of Cusco on the Urubamba River in the Sacred Valley. It’s at the base of a mountain that houses the spectacular Inca Písac Fortress.
Attraction
Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is the bucket-list tourist attraction and the highlight of many peoples’ trip to Peru; the vastness, location and detail of the ruins make it unmissable. Without a doubt this is the crown jewel of Peruvian ruins.
