Peru's Inca Highlights

The Sacred Valley, the ancient Inca Empire's heartland, is one of South America's most important historical sites. Dotted with ancient ruins and stone terraces, the site is a testament to the remarkable culture of this ancient civilisation. You'll embark on a guided tour through the higher section of the valley and intimately examine the fascinating remnants that populate the site while enjoying the magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and ruins, including the Pisac Town. 

On this comprehensive tour through three of the Sacred Valley's most remarkable locations, you'll get the opportunity to delve further into the Valley's unique characteristics. You'll start with a tour of Maras, the location of the spectacular pre-Inca salt mines, before heading to Moray to see the Inca Agricultural Laboratory, another mesmerising adaptation of the natural terrain by the Incas. Travel through the streets of the 'Living Inca City' in Ollantaytambo, the last city of the Incas to remain inhabited.

One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the site of Machu Picchu is a must-see on any visit to Peru. Awe-inspiring in its magnitude and sophisticated construction, the 15th-century Inca citadel is rightfully recognised as one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in the world. 

A designated UNESCO World Heritage Centre, Cusco is home to an extraordinary number of ancient ruins and colonial structures that are interspersed throughout the city. During your stay, you'll embark on a private tour through the city's most notable attractions, beginning in the Q'enko archaeological complex, located in the Sacred Valley, before exploring the Sacsayhuaman fortress, an impressive structure constructed using colossal stones. From there, you'll travel to Coricancha, widely regarded to be the most important temple in the Inca Empire. Complete your tour at the Cusco Cathedral, one of the city's most prominent colonial monuments.

During your stay in the Andean plateau, you'll embark on a tour of Lake Titicaca, one of South America's largest lakes. A visit to the lake offers a close look into a way of life few encounter. It is most renowned for housing the Floating Islands of the Uros, a complex of approximately 80 man-made totora reed islands inhabited by the Uros, a tribe that predates the Incan civilisation.
