It's wise to carry more funds than anticipated to avoid shortages.

Our tour of Peru was nothing short of spectacular! Starting with a warm welcome at Lima’s Jorge Chavez Airport, we enjoyed a delightful city tour that included the majestic Cathedral, Pizarro’s Tomb, the eerie San Francisco Catacombs, and the stunning Palacio de Torre Tagle. The visit to Huaca Pucllana and the picturesque Barranco district, along with the Museo Rafael Larco Herrera’s pre-Incan artifacts, were definite highlights. The day concluded beautifully with scenic Pacific views and a relaxing evening at our hotel in Lima.

In Cusco, we were captivated by the rich history and culture. After settling in with coca tea, we explored the Plaza de Armas, the grand Cathedral, Santo Domingo Monastery, and the Koricancha Temple. The visits to Kenko, Puka Pukara, Tambomachay, and the awe-inspiring Sacsayhuaman fortress were incredible. The vibrant music and dance show in the evening added a delightful touch to our experience. The highlight was undoubtedly Machu Picchu, with its mystical beauty and historical significance. Each day’s itinerary was perfectly crafted, providing an immersive and unforgettable journey through Peru.
