Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1: Lima (Arrival) - Cusco (By Flight) - Urubamba

Welcome to Peru! Upon arrival at the Lima International Airport, you will connect to your domestic flight to Cusco, a short but spectacular flight over the snow-capped Andes Mountains. Reach Cusco, the oldest inhabited city in the hemisphere, situated at an elevation of 11,440 feet. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your hotel in Urubamba at the Sacred Valley.




Overnight in Urubamba

Day 2: Urubamba (B/-/-)

Today you will enjoy breakfast at the hotel. Enjoy a full day at leisure or enjoy an optional tour.




Overnight in Urubamba

Day 3: Urubamba - Machu Picchu - Cusco (B/-/-)

This morning you will travel on the Expedition train through the Sacred Valley to Aguas Calientes, where you will board a shuttle up to the \"Lost City of the Incas\" — the legendary Machu Picchu. Perched 8,200 feet above the valley, the city of Machu Picchu was hidden by mountains and semi-tropical jungles for 400 years until it was discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911. A knowledgeable tour guide will share the history of this mystical place with you. This afternoon you will take the train back to Ollantaytambo Rail Station, where you will be met and transferred to your hotel in Cusco.




Overnight in Cusco

Day 4: Cusco (B/-/-)

After a delicious breakfast, enjoy a tour of the oldest continuously inhabited city in the western hemisphere, Cusco, and the nearby ruins. You will get the opportunity to see how the Andean and Spanish cultures co-existed and influenced the city. The tour will begin at Santo Domingo Convent, built on the site of Koricancha, which was a significant ancient Inca palace and center of worship of the Sun God. The tour will continue to the Main Square, the site of the Cathedral and the La Compañía Church. Later, you will visit the Sacsayhuaman Fortress; just one example of the military Inca architecture in the area. Finally, the tour will take you to the nearby archaeological sites of Qenko, Puca-Pucara, and Tambomachay, which can be found northeast of the city.




Overnight in Cusco

Day 5: Cusco - Puno (B/L/-)

Get ready for one of South America's most extraordinary overland trips to take you by bus from Cusco to Puno, passing through striking highland scenery and picturesque Andean villages. En-route you will stop at the town of Andahuaylillas. The church here was founded in 1580 and is a showcase of the colonial art in Peru, sometimes referred to as \"the Sistine Chapel of the Americas” due to its rich interior. You will also stop at Raqchi to see the remains of the remarkable temple of Viracocha, considered by historians to be a significant Inca construction, and at La Raya, the highest pass on the route. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the beautiful countryside as you discover llamas, alpacas, and vicunas wandering the wild. The last stop before Puno will be in Pucara, an old ceremonial site showing evidence of a pre-Inca civilization. You will arrive at your hotel in Puno later this afternoon/evening. Spend the rest of the day at leisure.




Overnight in Puno

Day 6: Uros And Taquile Islands (Lake Titicaca) (B/L/-)

Today you can enjoy an amazing boat excursion out onto the highest navigable lake in the world, Lake Titicaca, to see the floating Uros Islands and Taquile Island. The floating islands of the Uros Indians are made by tying totora reeds together and are a must-see for any traveller. The Uros people consider themselves Lords of the Lake; they hunt wild birds and maintain traditional fishing methods. Taquile is a very important site known for its archaeological remains, sacred and ceremonial sites and festivals. The island is characterized by its friendly inhabitants, who maintain the customs and traditional clothing of their ancestors – there are many fine, woollen hand-made goods on sale here. You will return to Puno later today.




Overnight in Puno

Day 7: Puno - Lima (By Flight) (B/-/-)

Today you will be transferred to the airport at Juliaca for your flight back to Lima. Upon arrival, you will be met by your local guide and transferred to your hotel. Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure or perhaps join an optional tour to explore the capital city of Peru.




Overnight in Lima

Day 8: Lima (Departure) - Usa/Canada (B/-/-)

Today, you will be transferred to Lima International Airport for your flight home.

The tour organized by Indus Travels was flawless. Hotels, tours, and transportation all impressed me. We had a very relaxing time knowing what was happening at each stage. The scenery and activities were fantastic and did not disappoint. The highlight of the trip was definitely Galapagos Islands.

07-Dec-2023

Booked Mystical Egypt tour with them visiting Cairo and a 03 Nights Cruise from Luxor to Aswan in May. All services were perfect since the time we arrived at the airport, we were met by a hospitable Indus Representative who helped us with the purchase of local SIM and currency exchange. He was always there in time to assist for transfers. The Amwaj Cruise which we took from Luxor to Aswan was a Gem. We had great guides and all sightseeing worked like a clockwork. We enjoyed visiting Karnak Temples, Temples of Edfu, Kom Ombo and the boat ride to see Phillae Temple. Evening entertainment on cruise were great and engaging. In Cairo and Aswan, we had ample leisure time to explore on own, the Pyramids were impressive and visiting Khan e Khalili was fun. Overall and impressive and enjoyable tour, Thanks to Indus Travels!

04-Mar-2024

Indus Travel runs a highly professional organization. From customer service to brochures, bookings, tour guides, etc. and the consideration for their customers is superb. This was the first time I had travelled with Indus Travels. We took the Taste of Portugal Tour. Group numbers are small, accommodation comfortable and food excellent. The expert guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging, and entertaining. This company is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational vacation with fine food - they will deliver! We will never forget this trip and we are already planning for another one to Wonders of Italy, Vienna, Budapest, and Prague.

Indus Travels did an excellent job planning the trip to Italy. We were on Best of Italy in Oct 2022. The tour was 5 stars all the way. The hotel accommodations were comfortable and clean & guides were top-notch.

We were looking for a customized, small group tour. We took a chance on Indus without knowing much about the company. We just returned from our trip to Greece and are more than highly please and satisfied with our experience. They planned an amazing itinerary, booked amazing hotels, hired knowledgeable tour guides and arranged high quality transportation services. Everyone went above and beyond to please us. We are already planning a trip for next year (2024) and will definitely use Indus to do so.

07-Mar-2024

My wife and I along with three friends signed up the tour to Mexico from Indus Travel. The total 12-day Maya Culture trip really gave us opportunities to learn Mexico indigenous cultures thoroughly. We have seen a lot of ruins and pyramids, each of them has different representations and can tell the history of what was happening atthat time. We also had chances to visit the indigenous families toexperence the real Mexican people's life inthe rural area. The views of volcanoes, villages and canyons are also unforgettable. This is a small group with total 7 tourists, our driver/tour guide is a very experienced guide, he explained the history in sequence of events in and out. Most of all with 2500km driving he made us fell safe with his skills. All in all, this trip worths a 5+ star. I was so surprised that Indus Travel assigned a tour coordinator dedicated to our group, Kathlene helped a lot to make the arrangement for the whole trip and made us worry free.

13-Nov-2023

I booked a trip with Indus to South Africa and had a fabulous time! It was easy to book the trip online and any questions I had were answered very quickly by Sabine. The hotels we stayed at were very nice and in good locations. Our tours were well organized and our safari in Kruger National park was definitely a highlight. A few mornings had a bright and early start, but this allowed us to accomplish quite a lot in a day. The hotel restaurants had decent food, which was convenient if we had a longer day and didn't want to go out to eat. Overall, I was very happy with the trip and I felt the price for my tour was excellent value. I would definitely use Indus again!

04-Jan-2024

Exploring Bogota was fantastic - a lively city with so much to see. The Gold Museum was a highlight, taking us on a journey through centuries of history. We spent hours there, fascinated by the detailed exhibits showcasing the rich culture. After Bogota, we flew to St. Andres, a Caribbean paradise. Despite some rain during the 'rainy season,' the island's charm and our packed sightseeing schedule made every moment unforgettable. Activities like mangrove kayaking, snorkeling, and island hopping showcased St. Andres' natural beauty. WE even rescued a sick blue heron during our tour and transferred it to rescue services. The food was another standout. Local cuisine was not only delicious but also budget-friendly, offering a unique blend of flavors. I love seafood especially seviche, and I was trully impress by quality and diversity. But what really made our trip special was the people. Friendliness was everywhere, whether chatting with locals or getting tips on hidden gems. The genuine hospitality added an extra layer of joy to an already amazing journey. Bogota and St. Andres left a lasting impression, going beyond sightseeing to truly experience the heart and soul of these incredible destinations. Big thank you to Indus team, who put together this trip for me. I am looking forward to exploring other South American countries with Indus.

11-Jul-2023

Glimpse of Egypt Quick paced tour taken after Egypt opened back up to tourists, particularly Americans. Went in November and weather was beautiful. Decent hotels and overnight Nile cruise. You will see a lot on this tour and be aware there are some early wake ups. Lots of walking but doable if you're in decent shape. Overall a fun tour with all the sites you have only seen in books!
