Peru & BoliviaSalt flats, lunar landscapes, and the Sacred Valley

A short domestic flight will take you to Cusco, where you will settle into the Sacred Valley. Enjoy a relaxing evening surrounded by enchanting nature – and in a hotel that has peace and quiet all to itself. After breakfast, your driver will take you to the train station in Ollantaytambo. Take the luxurious Belmond Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu, the majestic Inca citadel in the middle of the Peruvian Andes. On the way, enjoy luxurious 1920s flair, with sweeping elegance and refined style. The Sacred Valley of the Incas glides past your eyes.

Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, your private guided tour of one of the world's most significant archaeological wonders begins. Learn all about the astronomical alignment of the buildings and experience an incomparable panoramic view that the ancient Incas knew and loved.

In the late afternoon, you will return to Cusco by train. On board, you can enjoy delicious cocktails and an aromatic four-course meal. In Cusco, you will now move into a new home in the middle of the city, yet with wonderful privacy. The most important sights are right next door! So if you want to explore Cusco, now is the time to do so.

There is also another opportunity to take a trip to the Sacred Valley, this time to the Pisaq Market. Originally, this was a place where people from remote communities traded their goods. Over time, Pisaq has become one of the most famous markets in South America, where locals and tourists mingle in a colorful atmosphere. Try the delicious empanadas, fresh from the traditional stone oven! Afterwards, visit the rock fortress of Pisaq, located high above the small town. At lunchtime, enjoy a unique tasting menu with seasonal products at Hacienda Sarapampa, a charming farm in the Sacred Valley.

It's time for Bolivia! A short flight takes you to La Paz, located at an incredible altitude of 3,500 meters in the Andes. A spectacular scenery of snow-capped peaks and colorful houses awaits you! Of course, we have another exclusive city tour in store for you here: Highlights of the old town include Plaza Murillo, the Witches' Market, and Jaen Street with its colonial houses.

Continue your tour in the residential neighborhoods of Obrajes, Calacoto, and La Florida: an exciting contrast to the historic atmosphere. Your tour ends with a visit to the uniquely scenic Moon Valley. Crater-like formations and imposing rock towers give you the feeling of being on another, barren planet.

Another short domestic flight and you're in for a magnificent experience! Upon arrival, you will be taken to a luxurious Airstream camper. You will spend the night in the middle of the Uyuni salt flats, surrounded by an endless white expanse. Your private chef will round off the arrangement perfectly, taking care of everything on site. Take a short trip to the village of Tahua at the foot of the volcano. Stroll through the pretty alleys, hike to the caves, and discover the mummies of Coquesa.

In the afternoon, there will be an opportunity to explore the legendary salt desert in more detail. It is the largest of its kind in the world, covering an area of 12,000 km2.

A place couldn't be more unique! The surreal pentagons of crystal salt, the clear sky, colorful lagoons, cacti, and flamingos give the impression of an exotic fairy tale. Afterwards, your chef will serve you an equally magical dinner—and you'll sink contentedly into your bed.

Today it's time to say goodbye to the vastness of the salt flats. After arriving back in La Paz, your driver will take you to the famous La Paz cable car, which is higher than any other on earth. Hop on and take a leisurely ride up to the old town, enjoying spectacular views of the snow-capped mountains and the city. From there, you will be transferred to your hotel.

Back to Peru! Before crossing the border, you will reach Tiwanaku, one of the most mysterious archaeological sites in South America, as the origin of these ruins remains unclear to this day. Look forward to a special experience at the Titilaka Boutique Hotel, located on a private, secluded peninsula. Surrounded by breathtaking

Andean landscape, the contemporary design of this residence blends perfectly into the natural surroundings.

The offer includes various activities, such as cycling, hiking in the highlands, canoeing, a visit to Taquile Island, the floating reed islands of the Uros, or an exploration of the Chucioto Peninsula. Enjoy your excursions on Lake Titicaca and/or in the Altiplano with a private tour guide – in an international group with other hotel guests. The hotel's exquisite cuisine rounds off your individually selected program.

Now fly back to Lima. How about a stroll through Barranco, the smallest of Lima's 43 districts? Your guide will tailor the program to your personal interests. Whether you want to enjoy a typical Peruvian snack at the legendary "Juanitos," take in the magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean, stroll along the promenade, or have a coffee in one of the cozy cafés, such as the historic Tostaduria Bisetti, Barranco will always enchant its visitors with its unique charm.

This romantic neighborhood is home to many famous artists, authors, designers, and photographers. You will also find numerous charming boutiques offering unique handmade products. Lunch at Maido, home to one of the best restaurants serving Peruvian-Japanese cuisine, is the delicious conclusion to an unforgettable trip.
