Romantic Journey to Machu Picchu
8 Day Peru Itinerary
Peru is a beautiful country and we’re blown away by all the things we’ve seen. We were caught completely by surprise by the breathtaking coastline views.
The wonder of Peru awaits us...
This is my and my husband's special vacation to Peru. All of the travel assistants we worked with were outstanding. Our trip began with an outstanding restaurant experience at Huaca Pucllana. Then we were whisked away by plane to Cusco for the rest of the trip. Machu Picchu was magnificent. Clara was our tour guide and her expertise made this majestic trip into the past an educational one as well. She was wonderful!
Breathtaking views and unparalleled hospitality.
Brian, our tour guide at the Paracas National Reserve, was friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. We were caught completely by surprise by the breathtaking coastline views. I wish we could have spent the whole day there!
I’ll always remember this trip because...
My husband was ill during part of our visit and the staff and townspeople could not have been kinder or more accommodating. We are truly thankful for the Anywhere Peru staff for seeing us through a very difficult experience.
