7 days in Peru, including Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and iconic Machu Picchu.
This is classic Peru—from spectacular, lively Lima to cultural Cusco, to the iconic Machu Picchu, from Goway Travel. The tour typically has several departs, so it’s an option worth considering if you’ve been longing to travel to one of the world’s most popular adventure-travel destinations.
You fly into balmy Lima, Peru’s thriving modern capital that lies on the Pacific Ocean coastline, and spend a day touring its stunning sites, including cliff-side modern Miraflores and Lima’s legendary Historic Center and Main Plaza, with its Presidential Palace, Archbishop’s Palace, Cathedral, and Municipality of Lima.
Then you fly to Cusco and board a bus to the Sacred Valley of the Incas (Urubamba Valley), where you’ll explore the villages of Chincheros and Ollantaytambo. Chincheros, a traditional Andean highland community, boasts Inca ruins, a Spanish colonial church built on Inca foundations (which you’ll learn was common in Peru, and how the Spanish conquered the Incas), and a lively local crafts market.
The spectacular mountaintop citadel of Machu Picchu. (Outpost)
Travelling down the valley to Ollantaytambo, you explore a massive archaeological complex known for its Sun Temple and as a fortress for the Incas. And catch a train to Aguas Calientes, the lively town at the base of Machu Picchu—the stunning mountaintop citadel of the Incas and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World (and UNESCO World Heritage site). The tour concludes with a laidback day exploring pedestrian-friendly Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire that was conquered and redefined by the Spanish — all of which is displayed in its architecture and cobblestoned streets.

A few guidelines on trip descriptions: All descriptions/itineraries are sourced from trip/tour operator, and Outpost assumes no liability. Prices are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated, are often “starting from” the one listed, and don’t necessarily reflect final/total cost (that is, taxes, in-country or extra fees might be added). And, prices indicated here do NOT include airfare, unless it says so. Date changes are always possible and sometimes even inescapable. So, always get in touch with an operator directly; sometimes they’ll let you know about a special offer not listed here so a price may actually be less than listed here.
