Machu Picchu Luxury Tours, Peru

Note: This private Machu Picchu tour is an example, as all of our luxury journeys are custom-made

Lima (1 night)

Your luxury Machu Picchu tour starts as you land in Lima, where you will be greeted by your personal host and taken to your hotel.

Sacred Valley (2 nights)

Receive assistance with check-in for your flight to Cusco the following morning. Upon arrival, your personal guide will show you the best of the Sacred Valley. Highlights include a multi-course Peruvian lunch at the elegant Hacienda Huayoccari, served in the historic dining room surrounded by colonial art. Afterward, go horseback riding along local trails on Peruvian Paso horses, a unique breed known for its smooth ride. Along the way, take in spectacular views of the Andes and the lush valley’s agricultural farms. Alternatively, you can experience a Shaman meditation ceremony arranged especially for your private party after lunch. Finally, spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing at your lodge in the heart of the Sacred Valley before witnessing a traditional Peruvian Paso horse show while savoring an alfresco dinner.

Machu Picchu (1 night)

Experience an awe-inspiring train ride along the towering Andes and the Quechua-speaking villages of the Sacred Valley as you head toward Machu Picchu on board the luxurious Hiram Bingham train. Alternatively, you can disembark the train at kilometer 104 and hike the last portion of the Inca Trail with your personal guide (passing through the Gate of the Sun).

Cusco (2 nights)

The next morning, rise early and discover hikes around Machu Picchu at dawn, as the mist clears from the mountains. Trek to the Gate of the Sun, or ascend Machu Picchu Mountain where you can take in the views of the Andes’ peaks. Blue Parallel will plan your daily hikes based on your activity level and interests. Return to your hotel before continuing your private Peru tour with a luxury train ride back to the Sacred Valley, where you will head to Cusco, the city of the “Children of the Sun.” Before reaching your luxury hotel in Cusco, enjoy a privately guided tour of the Sacsayhuaman ruins that overlook the city. Later, enjoy an exclusive music demonstration by a local musician before savoring a recommended dinner.

Cusco/Lima

Your luxury Machu Picchu tour ends with a final lunch on the Plaza de Armas before departing for the airport for your international flight back home via Lima. With only a few hours left of your private Peru tour, relax with a day-check at the airport hotel next door before your late evening flight.
