Delve into the sacred and mysterious landmarks of the Inca Empire, including famed Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, and other ancient temples, all precisely constructed without mortar. This program includes a visit to the beautiful and fertile Sacred Valley.

Special Note: As this is an active program that takes place at high altitudes and we strongly recommend that all guests should consult with their physician regarding their ability to participate prior to signing up. Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

DAY 1 - December 15, 2021

After flying into the Lima International Airport, you will be met by a representative and transferred to the elegant Country Club Lima or similar hotel. This five-star property stands proudly among the grand embassies in the capital’s affluent San Isidro district.

Hotel check in is not until 3:00pm.

Should you have an early arrival you may wish to book an extra night so that you have a room available upon your arrival.

Enjoy the day at leisure with any meals your own in the hotel or in one of the nearby restaurants. Retire for the evening in a spacious Master Room.

DAY 2 – December 16, 2021

Much of the morning is devoted to the flight from Lima to Cusco, once the capital of the Inca Empire.

Upon arrival, you will embark on a city tour of Cusco, starting with Sacsayhuaman fortress. Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones (some weighing 200 tons) of the remaining walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Inca’s sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

After lunch at a local restaurant, you will see the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress.

Continuing on, your next stop is the sacred site of Koricancha. Here, you will admire the lovely Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is considered to be one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.

After the visit of the city and sights, check into the Monasterio Hotel or simlar for overnight. Dinner on your own

Note: Guests wishing for an oxygenated room will be required to pay a surcharge for this upgraded room type as these rooms are based on availability. We recommend speaking to your doctor ahead of time should you be concerned; however, everyone reacts differently to the elevation so it may or may not be required.

DAY 3 - December 17, 2021

After an early morning breakfast, you will be transferred to Awanakancha, where you will see the South America camelids and learn about ancestral techniques for spinning and dyeing their fibers.

Continuing to the archeological site of Pisac which is located in the Sacred Valley and considered to be one of the finest remaining Inca archaeological sites in the country.

Lunch will be at Sarapampa which is situated in a privileged location in the Sacred Valley. The hacienda offers visitors the opportunity to have a unique cultural experience around traditions associated with corn production practices in an authentic and natural environment. Guests will also enjoy a folkloric show.

After lunch, drive back to Cusco for an overnight. Dinner will be on your own.

DAY 4 - December 18, 2021

Following breakfast, you will drive to the train station and board the the Hiram Bingham train to Aguas Calientes, Lunch will be served during the journey, as you take in the spectacular Andean scenery.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will transfer to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous “Lost City of the Incas.” Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than one hundred years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, Bingham discovered it largely intact.

Once inside the citadel, architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces, and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu’s ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.

After visiting Machu Picchu, you will board a bus back down to Aguas Calientes, and then board the Hiram Bingham train, during the journey, dinner will be served on board. Upon arriving in Ollantaytambo, you will transfer back to the Cusco.

DAY 5 - December 19, 2021

After flying back to Lima, you will transfer to the port of Callao to embark the ship.

After breakfast, you will visit a rural Andean highland community known as the “Village of Beautiful Flowers” to meet the Quechua-speaking farmers and weavers. Learn of their traditions and how these people live today in the Andean countryside.

Visit their kitchens and see how they prepare their food on wood-fired mud-brick stoves.

The welcoming villagers will offer a demonstration of textile technique and design which is an essential feature of Peruvian life. While sharing their knowledge, they will reveal the symbolic meanings encoded into their cloth and styles of dress.

You will also learn about the heart of the Andean agricultural cycle - as vital today as it was in Inca times - as your Quechua hosts show you how they hand-turn the soil on the mountainsides. They will also invite the group to join them in blessing their earth, their animals, and the new-plowed land.

Please note: Land programs that encompass multiple days ashore customarily include extensive and prolonged activity, while those of shorter durations typically have more moderate activity levels. However, each program varies, and participants should be prepared to negotiate a mixture of surfaces which may include inclines, cobblestones, sand, and gravel or natural paths. There may also be a need to climb steps or stairs on occasion. Guests who utilize a wheelchair and those with mobility concerns are advised to check with the cruise line in advance to see if any portion of the tour program may not be considered suitable for their individual situation. Weather appropriate clothing; hats; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are generally recommended.

Please note: All land programs are capacity controlled and subject to availability. Programs falling under the minimum number of required participants are subject to cancellation. Pricing listed is also subject to change to meet unexpected cost increases for transportation, land arrangements or currency fluctuations.

Travel via the Vistadome train from Cusco to Machu Picchu and visit the Inca's breath-taking 'Citadel in the Clouds' ringed by green-clad mountain peaks. Few places can compare as many people believe this is one of the most beautiful and enigmatic sites in the world.

Special Note: As this is an active program that takes place at high altitudes, we strongly recommend that all guests should consult with their physician regarding their ability to participate prior to signing up. Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour. This program is not recommended for those guests traveling with wheelchair or with walking difficulties due to the amount of walking, steps and uneven ground to be negotiated.

DAY 1

After flying into Lima International Airport, you will be met by a representative and transferred to your hotel which is located in the San Isidro district.

The day is at your leisure. Meals are on your own.

Check in time at the hotel is at 3:00pm.

DAY 2

Much of the morning is devoted to the flight from Lima to Cusco, once the capital of the Inca Empire. Upon arrival, transfer to the J.W. Marriott Hotel.

You will embark on a city tour of Cusco, starting with Sacsayhuaman fortress. Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones (some weighing 200 tons) of the remaining walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Inca’s sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

After lunch, you will see the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress.

Continuing on, your next stop is the sacred site of Koricancha. Here, you will admire the lovely Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is considered to be one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.

After the visit of the city and sights return to your hotel for the evening. Dinner on your own.

NOTE: All of the rooms at the J.W. Marriott have an oxygen enriched system to help you acclimate to the altitude. This upgrade service has been included in this package.

DAY 3

Following breakfast, you will drive to the train station and board the Vistadome Train, which features large panoramic windows for excellent viewing of the passing landscape. Lunch will be served en-route.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous “Lost City of the Incas.” Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, Bingham discovered it largely intact.

Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces, and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu’s ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.

After visiting Machu Picchu, you will board the Vistadome Train back towards Cusco. Dinner is served on board during the return journey. Upon arriving in Ollantaytambo, you will transfer back to your hotel.

DAY 4

Enjoy breakfast before checking out and flying back to Lima where you will transfer to the port of Callao to embark the ship.

Become immersed in the world of the ancient Inca and their present-day descendants through definitive attractions and immersive experiences. In Cusco, you will behold sites such as Sacsayhuaman fortress, whose massive stones – some weighing 200 tons – fit together so perfectly no mortar was necessary. You will also explore the ruins of iconic Machu Picchu, a royal retreat still shrouded in mystery. While visiting an Andean highland community, you will interact with villagers descended from the Incas that will demonstrate their traditions and way of life.

Note: This program begins in Lima and ends in Rio de Janeiro, therefore arriving flights must be booked into the Lima International Airport.

Special Note: As this is an active program that takes place at high altitudes and we strongly recommend that all guests should consult with their physician regarding their ability to participate prior to signing up. Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

DAY 1

After flying into the Lima International Airport, you will be met by a representative and transferred to your hotel located in the heart of Lima.

Lunch and dinner are on your own in the hotel or in one of the nearby restaurants.

Should your flight arrive early in the morning you may wish to book an extra night so your room is ready upon your arrival. Hotel check in time is at 3:00pm.

This evening, please re-pack your bags accordingly as luggage storage for excess luggage will be available at the hotel from Day 2 – 5. Any luggage to be left in storage should be properly labelled with your name and suite number on the ship. Don’t forget to take any valuables, medications and documents with you.

DAY 2

After breakfast, you will be transferred as a group to the airport for your flight to Cusco.

Upon arrival, you will embark on a city tour of Cusco.

After lunch at a local restaurant, visit the sacred site of Koricancha. Here, you will admire the lovely Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.

Continuing, your next stop is the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress.

Then, you will visit the Sacsayhuaman fortress. Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones (some weighing 200 tons) of the remaining walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Inca’s sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

After the visit of the city and sights, check into the J.W. Marriott El Convento Hotel for overnight. Dinner is on your own.

NOTE: All of the rooms at the J.W. Marriott have an oxygen enriched system to help you acclimate to the altitude. This upgrade service has been included in this package.

DAY 3

Following breakfast, you drive further into the “Sacred Valley of the Incas”. The route with wonderful landscapes will take you Ollantaytambo Fortress. You will visit the site before heading to the Ollantaytambo station to board the Hiram Bingham Train, named for the American archaeologist who initiated the excavation of Machu Picchu in 1911. Brunch will be served during the journey, as we take in the spectacular Andean scenery.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous “Lost City of the Incas.” Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, Bingham discovered it largely intact.

Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces, and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu’s ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.

After visiting Machu Picchu, you will board the Hiram Bingham Train back to Ollantaytambo station. Dinner is served aboard the train. Upon arriving in Ollantaytambo, you will transfer back to the J.W. Marriott Hotel for the overnight.

DAY 4

After breakfast, you will visit a rural Andean highland community known as the “Village of Beautiful Flowers” to meet the Quechua-speaking farmers and weavers. Learn of their traditions and how these people live today in the Andean countryside.

Visit their kitchens and see how they prepare their food on wood-fired mud-brick stoves.

The welcoming villagers will offer a demonstration of textile technique and design which is an essential feature of Peruvian life. While sharing their knowledge, they will reveal the symbolic meanings encoded into their cloth and styles of dress.

You will also learn about the heart of the Andean agricultural cycle - as vital today as it was in Inca times - as your Quechua hosts show you how they hand-turn the soil on the mountainsides. They will also invite the group to join them in blessing their earth, their animals, and the new-plowed land.

Following this celebration of profound Andean traditions inherited from the Inca past, return to Cusco for lunch at a local restaurant.

Dinner is at your hotel. Overnight at J.W. Marriott El Convento Hotel or similar.

DAY 5

Today the group will fly back to Lima and transfer to the AC Hotel by Marriott or similar for the night.

The remainder of the day is at your leisure with lunch and dinner on your own.

DAY 6

Early in the morning, transfer to the Lima Airport for a flight to Rio de Janeiro. Upon arrival, transfer to the port to embark the ship. Lunch is on your own.

Note: All luggage will accompany guests on the flight to Rio de Janeiro. See further below for luggage restrictions and fees for excess and overweight luggage.

DAY 1 – December 19, 2021

Following disembarkation from the ship Lima, transfer to the airport for a flight to Cusco. Following lunch at a local restaurant you will embark on a city tour of Cusco.

See the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress.

Daily temperatures average 18 °C (64 °F), but unlike the dry season, night time temperatures are just a few degrees lower.

What to Bring:

• Comfortable, casual clothing in natural, "breathable" fabrics. Temperatures will change as altitudes and time of day change, so it’s best to bring shorts as well as long trousers, and clothing we can layer. Cathedrals, churches, and other religious sites require conservative dress. Both males and females should cover their arms, legs and shoulders.

• Local standards dictate a neat, clean outfit for dining in restaurants and touring urban areas. For men: long trousers and a shirt with a collar. For ladies: trousers or a knee-length (or longer) skirt with a modest top. Formal clothing is not necessary.

• A sweater or lightweight jacket for the cooler evening temperatures common in highland regions.

• A lightweight (preferably non-plastic) raincoat or poncho; an umbrella.

• Comfortable walking shoes with low or no heels.

• Sunglasses (with a strap), sun block and a sunhat as well as insect repellent.

• Please note that the use of walking sticks is prohibited in Machu Picchu unless they are needed by guests with mobility problems

Delve into the sacred and mysterious landmarks of the Inca Empire including one of South America's most spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Sites recently declared one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Travel via the deluxe Hiram Bingham train from Cusco to Machu Picchu and visit the Inca's breath-taking 'Citadel in the Clouds' ringed by green-clad mountain peaks. Few places can compare as many people believe this is one of the most beautiful and enigmatic sites in the world.

Special Note: As this is an active program that takes place at high altitudes, we strongly recommend that all guests should consult with their physician regarding their ability to participate prior to signing up. Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour. This program is not recommended for those guests traveling with wheelchair or with walking difficulties due to the amount of walking, steps and uneven ground to be negotiated.

DAY 1

Following disembarkation from the ship, you will be transferred as a group to the airport for your flight to Cusco. Upon arrival, transfer to the luxurious Monasterio Hotel.

You will embark on a city tour of Cusco, starting with Sacsayhuaman fortress. Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones (some weighing 200 tons) of the remaining walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Inca’s sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

After lunch at a local restaurant, you will see the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress.

Continuing on, your next stop is the sacred site of Koricancha. Here, you will admire the lovely Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is considered to be one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.

After the visit of the city and sights, return to the Monasterio Hotel for overnight. Dinner is included at the hotel.

DAY 2

Following breakfast, you will drive to the train station and board the deluxe Hiram Bingham train, named for the American archaeologist who initiated the excavation of Machu Picchu in 1911. Brunch will be served during the journey, as you take in the spectacular Andean scenery.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous “Lost City of the Incas.” Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, Bingham discovered it largely intact.

Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces, and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu’s ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.

After visiting Machu Picchu, re-board the Hiram Bingham Train to begin your journey back to Ollantaytambo Train Station. Dinner will be served during the journey. Return to your hotel from the train station.

DAY 3

After flying back to Lima, you will transfer to the Country Club Hotel or similar.

The rest of the day is at leisure with lunch and dinner on your own.

DAY 4

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel.

You will be transferred to the airport based on your flight details. If you have a late flight you may wish to book an additional night so as to keep your room longer than the scheduled check out time of 12 noon otherwise luggage can be stored at Reception and guests can continue to use the facilities of the hotel or further explore until your scheduled transfer time.

Become immersed in the world of the ancient Inca and their present-day descendants through definitive attractions and immersive experiences. In Cusco, you will behold sites such as Sacsayhuaman fortress, whose massive stones – some weighing 200 tons – fit together so perfectly no mortar was necessary. You will also explore the ruins of iconic Machu Picchu, an Inca royal retreat still shrouded in mystery. While visiting an Andean highland community, you will interact with villagers descended from the Incas that will demonstrate their traditions and way of life.

Special Note: As this is an active program that takes place at high altitudes, we strongly recommend that all guests consult with their physician regarding their ability to participate prior to signing up. Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour. This program is not recommended for those guests traveling with wheelchair or with walking difficulties due to the amount of walking, steps and uneven ground to be negotiated.

Note: This program begins in Panama and ends in Lima, therefore, outbound flights need to be booked from Lima International Airport.

DAY 1

Following disembarkation from the ship, you will transfer to the airport for the flight to Lima. Upon arrival, you will be met by a representative and transferred to the AC Hotel by Marriott in the Miraflores district, a five-star hotel in the heart of Lima.

Lunch and dinner will be on your own.

Note: All luggage will accompany guests on the flight to Lima. See further below for luggage restrictions.

DAY 2

After breakfast, you will transfer to the airport for the flight to Cusco. Upon arrival, you will begin a tour of Cusco.

After lunch at a local restaurant, you will visit with the sacred site of Koricancha. There, you will admire the lovely Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.

You will then visit the Sacsayhuaman fortress. Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. The enormous stones – some weighing 200 tons – of the walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Incas’ sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

After a brief orientation tour of Cusco, you will check into the J.W. Marriott El Convento Hotel or similar for overnight. Dinner will be on your own.

NOTE: All rooms at the J.W. Marriott have an oxygen enriched system to help you acclimate to the altitude. This upgrade service has been included in this package.

Note: We suggest flying with a carry-on only. All other suitcases will be kept in hotel storage until you return to Lima on Day 5.

DAY 3

After breakfast, you will drive further into the Sacred Valley of the Incas, following a wonderfully scenic route to the Ollantaytambo fortress. After visiting the site, you will travel to the Ollantaytambo station to board the first-class train. Brunch will be served during the journey as you take in the spectacular Andean scenery.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous Lost City of the Incas. Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later; its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, explorer and Yale University history lecturer Hiram Bingham discovered it largely intact in 1911.

Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu’s ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.

After visiting Machu Picchu, you will board the Hiram Bingham Train for the journey to the Rio Sagrado train station. Dinner will be served aboard the train.

Upon arrival at the station, you will transfer to J.W. Marriott El Convento Hotel or similar for the evening.

DAY 4

After breakfast, you will visit an Andean highland community and meet the Quechua-speaking farmers and weavers who live there. During this personal encounter, you will participate in the daily activities and visit the kitchens to see a variety of local foods on display, under preparation and being cooked upon wood-fired mud-brick stoves.

The welcoming and hospitable villagers will offer a demonstration of textile technique and design, an essential feature of Peruvian life for millennia. They will share this knowledge and reveal the symbolic meanings encoded into their cloth and styles of dress.

Then, after a short walk with the villagers to the accompaniment of flutes and drums, you will enter the heart of the Andean agricultural cycle – as vital today as it was in Inca times – as our Quechua hosts show how they hand-turn the soil on the mountainsides. You will be welcome to join them in blessing the earth, their animals and the new-plowed land. This celebration of profound Andean traditions inherited from the Inca past is an experience like no other.

Afterwards, you will drive to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

Continuing on, your next stop will be the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were repurposed from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress. After the visit, you will transfer to the J.W. Marriott El Convento Hotel in Cusco for dinner and to spend the evening.

DAY 5

After flying back to Lima, you will transfer to the AC Hotel by Marriott to overnight. The remainder of the day will be at leisure with lunch and dinner on your own.

DAY 6

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel and check out before being transferred to the airport based on your flight details. If you have a flight that departs late in the day, you may wish to book an additional night so as to keep your room longer than the scheduled check-out time of 12:00 pm. Otherwise, luggage can be stored at the reception desk and you can continue to use the facilities of the hotel or further explore until your scheduled transfer time.

Expected Weather:

From mid-November until the end of April is considered to be the wet season, with the peak rainfall occurring during January and February. Although it may not rain every day or for even for a few days at a time, there is a significant chance that you will encounter wet weather. Be prepared with appropriate clothing and even an umbrella. Daily temperatures average 18 °C (64 °F), but unlike the dry season, night time temperatures are just a few degrees lower.

What to Bring:

•Comfortable, casual clothing in natural, "breathable" fabrics. Temperatures will change as altitudes and time of day change, so it’s best to bring shorts as well as long trousers, and clothing we can layer. Cathedrals, churches, and other religious sites require conservative dress. Both males and females should cover their arms, legs and shoulders.

•Local standards dictate a neat, clean outfit for dining in restaurants and touring urban areas. For men: long trousers and a shirt with a collar. For ladies: trousers or a knee-length (or longer) skirt with a modest top. Formal clothing is not necessary.

•A sweater or lightweight jacket for the cooler evening temperatures common in highland regions.

•A lightweight (preferably non-plastic) raincoat or poncho; an umbrella.

•Comfortable walking shoes with low or no heels.

•Sunglasses (with a strap), sun block and a sunhat as well as insect repellent.

•Please note that the use of walking sticks is prohibited in Machu Picchu unless they are needed by guests with mobility problems

Become immersed in the world of the ancient Inca and their present-day descendants through definitive attractions and immersive experiences. In Cusco, you will behold sites such as Sacsayhuaman fortress, whose massive stones – some weighing 200 tons – fit together so perfectly no mortar was necessary. You will also explore the ruins of iconic Machu Picchu, a royal retreat still shrouded in mystery. While visiting an Andean highland community, you will interact with villagers descended from the Incas that will demonstrate their traditions and way of life.

Note: This program begins in Santiago, Chile and ends in Lima, Peru, therefore departing flights must be booked out of the Lima International Airport.

Special Note: As this is an active program that takes place at high altitudes, we strongly recommend that all guests should consult with their physician regarding their ability to participate prior to signing up. Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

DAY 1

Following disembarkation from the ship in Santiago, Chile you will be transferred as a group to the airport for your flight to Lima. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your hotel located in the, heart of Lima.

The remainder of the day is at your leisure. Lunch and dinner are on your own perhaps in the hotel or in one of the nearby restaurants.

This evening, please re-pack your bags accordingly as luggage storage for excess luggage will be available at the hotel in Lima from Day 2 – 5. Any luggage to be left in storage should be properly labelled with your name and suite number on the ship. Don’t forget to take any valuables, medications and documents with you.

DAY 2

After breakfast, you will be transferred as a group to the airport for your flight to Cusco.

Upon arrival, you will embark on a city tour of Cusco.

After lunch at a local restaurant, visit the sacred site of Koricancha. Here, you will admire the lovely Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.

Then, you will visit the Sacsayhuaman fortress. Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones (some weighing 200 tons) of the remaining walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Inca’s sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

After the visit of the city and sights, check into the J.W. Marriott El Convento Hotel or similar. Dinner is on your own.

NOTE: All of the rooms at the J.W. Marriott have an oxygen enriched system to help you acclimate to the altitude. This upgrade service has been included in this package.

DAY 3

Following breakfast, you drive further into the “Sacred Valley of the Incas”. The route with wonderful landscapes will take you Ollantaytambo Fortress. You will visit the site before heading to the Ollantaytambo station to board the Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu, named for the American archaeologist who initiated the excavation of Machu Picchu in 1911. Brunch is served aboard the train.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous “Lost City of the Incas.” Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, Bingham discovered it largely intact.

Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces, and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu’s ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.

After visiting Machu Picchu, you will board the Hiram Bingham Train back towards Cusco. Dinner is served aboard the train. Upon arriving in Ollantaytambo, you will transfer back to the J.W. Marriott Hotel for the overnight.

DAY 4

After breakfast, you will visit a rural Andean highland community known as the “Village of Beautiful Flowers” to meet the Quechua-speaking farmers and weavers. Learn of their traditions and how these people live today in the Andean countryside.

Visit their kitchens and see how they prepare their food on wood-fired mud-brick stoves.

The welcoming villagers will offer a demonstration of textile technique and design which is an essential feature of Peruvian life. While sharing their knowledge, they will reveal the symbolic meanings encoded into their cloth and styles of dress.

You will also learn about the heart of the Andean agricultural cycle - as vital today as it was in Inca times - as your Quechua hosts show you how they hand-turn the soil on the mountainsides. They will also invite the group to join them in blessing their earth, their animals, and the new-plowed land.

Continuing, our next stop is the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress. Finally you will return back to your hotel in Cusco.

Dinner is included at the hotel this evening. Overnight at J.W. Marriott El Convento Hotel or similar hotel.

DAY 5

After flying back to Lima, the group will return to the AC Hotel by Marriott or similar for the night.

The remainder of the day is at leisure with lunch and dinner on our own.

DAY 6

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel and check out. Transfer to the Lima International Airport based on your flight details. If you have a late flight, you may wish to book an additional night to keep your room longer than the scheduled check out time of 12pm.
