The journey concludes in the eastern sector, where modern skyscrapers and contemporary designs rise alongside parks and boulevards, creating a striking harmony of tradition and innovation in one of South America’s most dynamic capitals.

Depart from Santiago to Valparaíso, a World Heritage Site, exploring its historic port, Plaza Echaurren, and the hills of Concepción and Alegre, reached by vibrant funiculars. Admire murals and local workshops, with an optional visit to Pablo Neruda’s house, La Sebastiana. After lunch, continue to Viña del Mar, a modern seaside city where palaces, beaches, and striking architecture stand out.

Cusco welcomes you with cobblestone streets, living history, and pure Andean air. You will be picked up at the airport and transferred to your hotel, taking in your first glimpse of this UNESCO World Heritage city. It’s the perfect starting point for exploring Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, and ancient traditions that remain alive in every corner. We recommend resting and acclimatizing to make the most of your journey.

Along the journey, discover a city of contrasts: colonial façades, bustling avenues, and skyline views meeting the sea. The remainder of the day is free to explore nearby parks, admire architecture, or take in the vibrant spirit of a capital where cultures merge, and stories unfold at every corner, your Peruvian journey begins with urban rhythm and coastal charm.

This tour blends the best of Lima’s food and culture. Begin at a local market to taste fresh ingredients. Then, explore the Historic Center and enjoy cocktails made with pisco and Peruvian cacao.
