Honeymoon in Peru

Welcome to Lima, the start of your Peru honeymoon! Our team meets you at the airport and takes you to your hotel. An English-speaking guide hands over your travel documents, your programme and their finest recommendations for making the most of your honeymoon.

Visit Lima with a local guide: the bohemian Barranco neighbourhood, rich in street art, and the Chorrillos market for an introduction to Peruvian gastronomy. In the afternoon, take a domestic flight to Arequipa, the charming UNESCO-listed 'White City'.

A free morning, then a guided city tour: the Plaza de Armas, the Company of Jesus, the Yanahuara neighbourhood and the Santa Catalina Convent, founded in 1580 by a wealthy widow, María de Guzmán. A city within a city: this walled citadel with its alleyways, passages, doorsteps and small squares is utterly captivating!

Heading for the Colca Valley! The road offers beautiful views over the Chachani volcano, with vicuñas crossing your path. You cross the Pata Pampa pass at 4,900 m before descending to Chivay at the gateway to the Colca Canyon. In the afternoon, relax in the natural hot springs.

In the morning, visit the Cruz del Cóndor: a prime observation point for these sacred birds soaring on the thermals. Return to Chivay along the impressive Colca Canyon and its small villages. Then on to Puno on the shores of the famous Lake Titicaca, through the sublime landscapes of the Altiplano.

With a guide, set sail on Lake Titicaca at 4,000 m altitude! Stop at the floating reed Uros Islands and Amantani Island, where a local family welcomes you warmly into their home for the night. A deeply human experience in a sumptuous landscape!

Leave Amantani Island for neighbouring Taquile. A one-hour hike along pretty paths leads to the village, where the men (who knit) and women (who spin) are proud to show you their traditional costumes! Return to Puno in the afternoon.

A full day by bus to Cusco, with several visits en route: the Pukara museum, the Andahuaylillas church (nicknamed the 'Sistine Chapel of the Americas') and the Inca site of Raqchi. Arrival in Cusco in the late afternoon, transfer to your hotel, then a free evening to discover this fascinating city.

A guided tour of Cusco's highlights: the cathedral, the Temple of the Sun, Sacsayhuamán and the Q'enqo rock formations. Then head to the village of Yuncaypata to meet Susana and her family who will show you how to prepare chicha and welcome you for lunch. A unique and deeply moving moment!

Explore the Sacred Valley with your guide: from the extraordinary Maras Salt Pans to the circular terraces of Moray. Lunch with the Misminay community, then a meeting with a goldsmithing NGO dedicated to passing skills between generations, where you create your own handcrafted piece of jewellery!

On the Sacred Valley road, discover the artisan market and archaeological site of Pisac, then the ancient timeless Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo. Finally, board the Andean train, which winds through the mountains, to Aguas Calientes at the foot of Machu Picchu.

Visit the exceptional site of Machu Picchu with a local guide and discover the secrets of this symbol of the Inca Empire. Then climb Huayna Picchu (the 'young mountain') for a breathtaking panorama! Return to Aguas Calientes by shuttle, then train to Ollantaytambo and transfer to Cusco.

A free day in the former Inca capital. Stroll the cobbled alleyways, visit the Pisco, chocolate or coffee museums for a taste of local flavours or the regional museum and the Inca Museum for history enthusiasts. Don't miss the artisan markets for your souvenirs!

Your Peru journey comes to an end! Your driver takes you to Cusco airport for your domestic flight to Lima, connecting with your international flight back home.
