Board your flight to Lima, Peru. On Arrival at Lima airport, you will be welcomed by an English speaking guide and transferred to your five star hotel. Lima was founded by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizzaro in 1535. It possesses all the colorful vitality of an oriental bazaar with its cloud covered winters and light warm summers, with beautiful old buildings in quiet, elegant corners, where the evening air is full of the scent of jasmine.
Our morning sightseeing tour explores the old and new parts of the city. The Plaza de Armas with the beautiful buildings of the Government Palace, the Town Hall, the Palace of the archbishop and the Cathedral are still the most important places in town. We continue on to the San Francisco and Santo Domingo Convents and then the most popular place, Plaza San Martin. Later, visit the famous Gold Museum. Your evening dinner will be served at our hotel.

Today after breakfast, we start a two day fabulous highlight journey to the Inca city of Machu Picchu. We board our train in Ollantaytambo for our journey to the small village Aguas Calientes. On arrival our small coaches take us up the steep roads to the ruins of the city, that for centuries remain undiscovered by the Spaniards, only to be found by accident in 1911 by Hirma Bingham. The beauty of its location and the genius that went into its construction make this Inca settlement truly one of the great wonders of the world. After a full day visit of the site we return by bus to the village of Aguas Calientes to our hotel for dinner and overnight stay. (Buffet breakfast / Dinner)

During our journey lunch will be on the train. Then on to Juliaca to board our bus which takes us to Puno on the shores of the lake Titicaca.

There are 40 small floating islands, where the Uros, descendents of one of the most ancient people in the Americas, continue to live a very simple way of life as their ancestors did. Next, we stop to visit the archeological ruins of Chullpas de Sillustani. The necropolis, which is one of the largest in the Americas, and one of the most impressive in the world, lies on a peninsula, bordered by the beautiful lake of Umayo. The Chullpas or Aya Wasis founds are gigantic funerary monuments built by the Kollas. These quadrangular 12 meter high circular structures challenge the laws of equilibrium as they are narrower at the base than the top! Later we return to Puno and our hotel for the night.
