Itinerary

Intercontinental flight. Upon arrival in Lima, meeting at the airport with our correspondent and transfer to the hotel. Night at the hotel.

After breakfast, transfer to the airport of Lima in good time for boarding the flight to Cusco. Upon arrival, meeting at the airport with our local representative and transfer to the hotel. The afternoon will be free and dedicated to rest, to allow a gradual adaptation to the altitude. We recommend eating very light. Night at the hotel.

After breakfast, together with our guide and aboard our private transport, we will go to the San Pedro market, where we will come into contact with the typical flavors, colors, and aromas of the Andes. Then, we will reach the Qoricancha, or Temple of the Sun, the most important place of worship of the Inca Empire. We will then visit the Inca fortress of Sacsayhuamán and the site of Qenqo, dedicated to the worship of the serpent god who, in the Andean worldview, gave origin to life. Along the route we will stop at a textile center that houses llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas, before reaching Pisac, famous for its archaeological complex, a supreme example of Inca architecture with massive stone walls, palaces, and towers. Night at the hotel in the Sacred Valley.

In the morning they will pick us up at our hotel in the Sacred Valley to reach Cruz Pata. From here we will start pedaling to the complex of Moray, famous for its incredible terraces used by the Incas for agricultural experiments. Then, we will head towards the small village of Maras, from where we will start a descent by bicycle that will lead us first to the homonymous and suggestive salt pans, and then even further down until reaching Urubamba. At the end of the excursion, transfer to Ollantaytambo where we will take the train to Aguas Calientes, gateway to Machu Picchu. Night at the hotel.

Today we will realize the dream of a lifetime: from Aguas Calientes we will go up by bus to Machu Picchu, the legendary “lost city”. This archaeological site, famous for its ruins and the view over the Urubamba valley, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the seven wonders of the modern world. The private guided visit (about 2 and a half hours) will reveal to you the history of this unique place. The most adventurous will be able to climb independently Huayna Picchu, Machu Picchu Mountain, or Huchuy Picchu. In the afternoon train to Ollantaytambo (or Poroy) and transfer by bus with other tourists to Cusco. Night at the hotel.

In the morning they will pick us up at our hotel in the Sacred Valley to reach the Via Ferrata, where we will begin the climb up a 400-meter rock face. We will climb in total safety with the necessary equipment, enjoying the impressive panorama of the valley. We will have lunch at the Sky Lodge, inside one of its suspended transparent capsules, where we can have lunch with a breathtaking view of the Sacred Valley. After this experience, we will begin the descent by zip-line at full speed, always assisted by guides who will help us secure ourselves to the cables at all times. A pleasant half-hour walk will lead us to the first of the seven total zip-line cables, ranging from 150 to 700 meters in length, for a total of 2,800 meters of pure descent. Return to Cusco in the late afternoon, night at the hotel.

In the morning we will start the journey by minibus, along with other tourists, towards the Vilcanota River. During the journey and once arrived at the destination, our specialized guide will explain all the safety regulations, equipment management, navigation techniques, and behavior among the rapids. Once we put on the wetsuits, life jackets, and helmets, we will be ready to enter the water. We will begin with a bit of practice with the oars and then tackle class 2 and 3 rapids, for a total of about two and a half hours of navigation. Once the adventure is over, we will change and have lunch, before returning to Cusco in the late afternoon. Night at the hotel.

Departure at dawn for the Rainbow Mountain of Palccoyo (100 km from Cusco), still little visited by mass tourism. With private vehicle and guide, after a 4-hour journey and a stop for breakfast, we will start the walk between 4,700 and 4,900 meters. The route takes about an hour and a half and offers spectacular views of the Rainbow Mountain. We will explore a evocative stone “forest” with a view over the “Red Valley”. Lunch and return to Cusco in the evening. Night at the hotel.

Note: as an alternative to Palccoyo, it is possible to opt for Vinicunca. However, we remind that the route to Vinicunca is more strenuous, reaching up to 5,100 meters and the site is often very crowded. For a more authentic, intimate, and relaxed experience, we suggest Palccoyo.

Free day, ideal for walking around and getting to know beautiful Cusco. Not to be missed: the archaeological park near Cusco (Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay), the San Pedro market, the stunning MAP (Pre-Columbian Art Museum), the Qoricancha or Temple of the Sun, and the charming San Blas neighborhood. In the evening, we will take a guided walking tour through the historic center of Cusco, discovering its most hidden and fascinating side filled with legends, myths, ghosts, and mysterious tales. Night at the hotel.

Today we will travel, accompanied by other tourists, to Puno (about a 10-hour journey). The tourist bus (equipped with heating, air conditioning, chemical toilet, and with a Spanish/English guide) will make a few stops: the 17th-century church of Andahuaylillas, the Temple of Wiracocha in Raqchi, and the Museum of Pukara. Buffet lunch included in Sicuani. Upon arrival in Puno, meeting at the bus station with our local representative and transfer to the hotel. Night at the hotel.

In the morning we will reach Llachón on the Capachica peninsula, where we will follow a briefing on the safe use of the kayak and then depart for Taquile Island. It will be a unique experience: the blue waters of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world at an altitude of 3,800 meters, to be explored aboard our kayak. Once arrived in Taquile we will have free time at our disposal to tour the island and observe the typical terraces. We will return by kayak to Llachón, where we will enjoy a typical lunch on the shores of the lake before returning to Puno. Night at the hotel.

At dawn, we will be picked up at our hotel to begin our journey to Arequipa together with other tourists. Along the way, we will stop at Pampa Cañahuas, where we can admire vicuñas in their natural habitat, and at Patawasi, where we will switch vehicles. Upon arrival in Arequipa, we will meet our local representative for the transfer to the hotel. Night at the hotel.

Free day in Arequipa, the “white city.” We recommend not missing: the Santa Catalina Monastery with its evocative narrow streets and colorful courtyards, the Museum of Andean Sanctuaries where the Juanita Mummy is preserved, the lively and colorful San Camilo market, and the delicious typical dishes of the local cuisine. In the evening, transfer to the airport in good time to board the direct flight to Lima. Upon arrival in Lima, meeting at the airport with our local representative and transfer to the hotel. Night at the hotel.

Transfer to the airport. Intercontinental flight.

Note: if the intercontinental flight departs in the evening, it is possible to add a City Tour of Lima to discover the city in its most authentic and special aspects.

    Beautiful trip organized perfectly
We had a wonderful experience, perfectly organized and enriched by the contribution of the guides Camilo, very kind in welcoming us to Cusco, and David, who accompanied us on the subsequent stages. What I appreciated most was his frankness in telling us about Peru, helping us to observe and understand a reality deeply different from our own through his perspective. It certainly enriched our trip from a human and cultural point of view. We absolutely recommend this experience!

    Peru has entered our hearts, thanks to PerùEtico
Usually I organize trips by myself, and it is a part of the trip that I love: I want to choose everything and leave nothing to chance. This year, for a series of reasons, I decided to rely on an agency for the trip to Peru with my sister, and I could not have made a better choice. The thing I loved most is that PerùEtico built the trip exactly as I would have organized it, following my idea of travel. In August we experienced 15 intense days. We started from Lima and Cusco, then Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and the Colca Canyon, up to Arequipa, Huacachina and Paracas. It was a trip that made us fall in love with this country. All the guides, whom we met on our path, were always wonderful: knowledgeable, passionate and capable of telling about their land with a contagious affection. The organization was impeccable. The app was our compass: day-by-day schedule, times, tickets, and accommodations always accessible. Next to the app was Gianni, who assisted us throughout the trip, via Whatsapp, with rare availability and kindness. Any question was immediately answered. Thank you very much Gianni, you were our point of reference! We did not have a single problem. The transfers were always punctual, the guides wonderful, and we felt followed at every moment. Some experiences particularly impressed us. First of all Cusco: we fell in love with the city and its surroundings (do not miss the evening walk Myths and legends with Camilo, who will make you discover a fascinating and mysterious side of the city). Then the private tour in the Sacred Valley, with an extraordinary guide who told us about every place with passion. The Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain: we really appreciated this choice, because it is less beaten by mass tourism and for this reason even more exciting. Finally, the two days in the Colca Canyon, managed to perfection. A special mention goes to Taquile. We spent two days on Lake Titicaca hosted by a local family, sharing their daily life. It is the experience that remained most in our hearts. We loved everything about this trip. Peru is an incredible country and the Peruvian people are fantastic, welcoming, and smiling. PerùEtico knew how to let us experience it in the most beautiful way. We recommend it to anyone who dreams of this trip: you will be in excellent hands. Heartfelt thanks to the whole team! Emanuela and Elisa

    Excellent experience, beyond expectations!! Highly recommended!
We organized a personalized 15-day itinerary with them, which included 4 days of the Inca Trail. The organization was fantastic (in Italian), complete and detailed, with many tips derived from their long experience and with easy and friendly interactions (Emanuele is the best!). Very detailed and transparent quote (and final statement), including the breakdown of costs. He advised us to spend a day with a family on Lake Titicaca, and it was truly worth it. One of the best memories of the trip! Before departure, everything was uploaded to the app: the highly detailed program (appointments, pickup times, names and phone numbers of the guides) as well as all the necessary tickets for the tour, information sheets for the booked hotels, tips on restaurants, the itinerary, luggage, etc. We were then looked after on-site by Camilo, a friendly, comforting, and constant presence who assisted us day and night (via WhatsApp, by phone, and in person!) and, above all, managed critical issues in a very proactive manner, providing us with a series of alternatives and always proving willing to understand and accommodate all our needs. The Inca Trail was closed due to bad weather, and we had to do the short itinerary (2 days). Camilo promptly proposed a series of alternatives, reorganizing the bookings and the transfers of our luggage in an optimal manner, according to the new route. In Cusco, he made himself available to spend time with us (not planned) and was a fantastic guide, telling us about the peculiarities of the city and its history, which allowed us to truly appreciate the city and the Peruvian people (do not miss his \"Myths and Legends\" guided tour). I usually organize my trips on my own, so I was able to particularly appreciate their meticulous assistance in all phases, their advice and proposals, and, above all, the passion and experience they demonstrate in their work! Truly great! Highly recommended!

    Peru with PerúEtico
We visited Peru in August 2026, with a 2-week trip organized by PerúEtico. Family trip for 4 people. PerúEtico supported us with attention from the very beginning during the trip planning phase. All of our questions received an immediate response and always within 24 hours. PeruEtico gave us advice on how to customize our visit, and in particular, Machu Picchu. During our stay in Peru, we were constantly in contact via WhatsApp with Camilo, who was always available to answer any of our questions. The first few days in the Cusco area, we had a guide in Italian dedicated to us and attentive to making sure we followed the visit schedule while respecting our pace. Even in cases of unforeseen events, PeruEtico supported us in a timely manner to try not to compromise the travel itinerary. We recommend choosing PeruEtico if you are thinking about visiting Peru, a wonderful trip!!!!

We used Perù Etico for a tailor-made trip in August to Peru. They customized everything based on our needs. We dealt with Emanuele for the quote and trip planning part and then with Gianni regarding the on-site assistance. Both very precise, fast, quick, and attentive to the customer's needs. Top-notch 24/7 on-site assistance. Consult Perù Etico, they are truly good.

Peru, an unforgettable trip! Certainly first and foremost for the extraordinary beauty of this vast territory, which amazed us more every day. But a special thanks goes to PerùEtico, which allowed us to create a perfect tailor-made tour far from the usual standardized tourist routes. They allowed us to live unique experiences with local families and businesses, letting us savor Peruvian culture in all its facets. We return home happy from this fantastic adventure!

    PerùEtico for an unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend anyone planning a trip to the wonderful land of Peru to rely on Perù Etico. Thanks to Perù Etico, it was possible for us to visit many different places in 15 days, moving through Peru with an impeccable organization of time and transportation. The 24/7 assistance from a dedicated person is very reliable, as well as the detailed travel itinerary accompanied by recommendations for the best restaurants at the various stops (which we enjoyed so much!!! the food in Peru is fantastic!!). Thanks to the application provided by Perù Etico, you always have all the necessary information at your fingertips to travel and organize yourself during the various stops. We will definitely rely on this tour operator again for other trips to Latin America. A thank you to the whole staff, to Emanuele for the assistance in the initial phase of planning the trip, and to Gianni for his exquisite availability during the trip. Thanks to Perù Etico, the travel experience was authentic and genuine, just as I had wished!

They led us with care, experience, and availability to plan the vacation following our directions but adjusting the aim and giving advice that proved to be valuable. During the trip, there was always support to solve the small problems that inevitably, in a trip like this, arose.

    The colors of Peru
Trip to Peru with Peru Etico, a local tour operator that provided us with various tips on accommodations and itineraries, and with prepared and reliable guides and drivers who accompanied us for most of the trip. A nice experience in the Amazon and sleeping at a local family's home on the island of Taquile. We especially thank Emanuele for the initial preparation of the trip and Camilo for the support on-site. A nice experience to recommend..

    Fantastic Peru
Together with my wife, I took a 12-day trip to Peru organized by Perù Etico. The trip was planned and customized by Emanuele in relation to our needs and requests. Emanuele proved to be a very empathetic person and extremely quick to respond to my emails in which I asked for information or other things. The organization of the tour was done very well, and all the bureaucratic part was also handled in a quick and efficient way. A very interesting idea is to create an always-updated app within which everything you need is included: itinerary, tickets, hotels, etc. etc. During the tour, we had constant and direct support from Camilo, who proved to be a very helpful person and attentive to managing the practical activities of the trip as well as any specific needs. Kudos also to the guides and drivers who supported us on this trip, knowledgeable, sociable, and very helpful, in particular to Louis and Edwin with whom we spent most of the time. The trip was overall very beautiful and interesting. If I have to indicate what we liked most, I would say Machu Picchu and the day-and-a-half experience in the home of a local family on the island of Taquile. Elisabeth and her family treated us very well and let us live an authentic experience on this beautiful island. Cristian

    A Peru to be experienced, not just visited
We just returned from a beautiful trip to Peru, organized with great attention and with an itinerary that allowed us to truly discover the country. We particularly appreciated the preparation and availability of the guides, always attentive and capable of helping us get to know places, history, and culture in an engaging way. One of the best memories is certainly the day spent with a local family in Taquile: an authentic and very moving experience, which allowed us to get to know their daily life up close and which we will carry with us as one of the most special moments of the trip. Serious and reliable organization, which we definitely recommend!
