7 Days in Peru: Lima, Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu
Experience Lima, the Sacred Valley, Cusco, and Machu Picchu with seamless private logistics and smart altitude acclimatization.
Discover Peru in 7 Days: From Lima to Machu Picchu
Short on time but want to see the absolute best of Peru? This 7-day private journey is meticulously designed to maximize your vacation days without making you feel rushed.
Your adventure begins in the coastal capital of Lima, where you will dive into 5,000 years of history and world-class gastronomy. Then, you will fly to the Andes. To ensure you adjust perfectly to the altitude, we bypass the high elevation of Cusco and take you directly into the peaceful Sacred Valley. You will spend two days exploring ancient salt mines and massive Inca fortresses before sleeping at the foot of the Wonder of the World. After conquering Machu Picchu, you will head back up to explore the imperial city of Cusco.
Please note: This 7-day Machu Picchu itinerary is fully customizable. We can adjust the pace, hotels, and activities to perfectly match your travel style.
Kusa Difference
Smart Altitude Acclimatization Strategy
Instead of staying in high-altitude Cusco immediately, we take you directly to the Sacred Valley (2,800m / 9,100ft) to acclimatize naturally. This smart approach greatly reduces the risk of altitude sickness and helps you enjoy your trip comfortably.
