Things To Do

🌄 ADVENTURE DESTINATIONS: Machu Picchu & the Inca heartland (More Active)

Cusco

The heart of the Inca Empire and the gateway to Machu Picchu. Popular tours we suggest: Sacsayhuamán, Q’enqo, Puca Pucara, Tambomachay, and the Sacred Valley sites.

Machu Picchu

One of the Seven Wonders of the World and a bucket-list experience. You can arrive at the citadel by taking a train & a quick bus ride! We do not recommend hiking up to the citadel via the Inca Trail for your first visit. This is a perfect add-on from Cusco.

Sacred Valley

The perfect addition to the Cusco + Machu Picchu itinerary. This beautiful region sits right between them and offers breathtaking views + ancient Inca sites. Highlights include Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Chinchero, and Moray.

Puno & Lake Titicaca

From Puno, you can visit Lake Titicaca and the floating island communities. Because of the elevation, it’s a better fit for travelers who feel comfortable at high altitudes.

🕊 RELAXED DESTINATIONS: Coastal & Desert Getaways (Little to No Altitude)

Arequipa

Our most suggested spot! Known as the “White City,” full of beautiful architecture, peaceful plazas, and warm weather. You can explore the Santa Catalina Monastery or take a scenic trip to the Colca Canyon to spot condors.

Paracas & the Ballestas Islands

A coastal town known for fresh seafood & ocean views. Take a boat tour to the Ballestas Island and see penguins, sea lions, and dramatic rock formations. A great low-effort adventure for anyone wanting nature without altitude.

Ica & Huacachina Oasis

A desert oasis surrounded by towering sand dunes. Enjoy dune buggy rides, sandboarding, or simply relaxing by the water with a Pisco Sour. It pairs beautifully with Paracas for a fun, sun-filled getaway.
