Travel story

Enjoy a rich itinerary that lets you experience Machu Picchu in three dimensions, including climbing Huayna Picchu and sightseeing the ruins.
You can also fully enjoy Andean spectacular views unique to the region, such as Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake.
This is an intensive trip that covers Peru’s highlights at once, including an aerial tour of the Nazca Lines.
Signature points
The path to the sky city you reach by foot — Challenge the Inca Trail
Experience the ancient Inca road by actually walking it and arriving at Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate.
Rather than simply "arriving" at the ruins, "meeting" them by walking deepens the emotion.
It’s a one-of-a-kind highlight where you can feel the Andes’ great nature and history with your whole body.
Selectable spectacular experiences — The best day for each group
On DAY 5, groups split between Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake, allowing actions based on each person’s interests and fitness level.
Even with the same itinerary, the flexibility to choose a spectacular experience that suits you without strain is appealing.
It’s a highly flexible design that increases satisfaction even on group trips.
Deeply savor at once — Covering Peru’s classics and hidden gems
Not only Machu Picchu and Cusco, but also a wide range of sites including the Sacred Valley and the Nazca Lines are visited.
This is a fulfilling route that lets you experience historical heritage, spectacular views, and culture in a balanced way.
It’s a luxurious plan that firmly covers Peru’s “must-sees” within a limited schedule.
