In the afternoon you explore the Larco Museum for a journey through the legacy left behind by the pre-Inca cultures and the context in which they had developed. The museum's informative galleries offer a detailed look at 3,000 years of Peruvian’s pre-Columbian history. The museum itself is an attraction, with the colonial mansion that houses the exhibition being built on top of a pre-Inca pyramid from the 7th century
For your stay in Arequipa we picked the brand new boutique hotel ‘Cirqa’ for you. Its location only one block from the main square in Arequipa makes it a perfect base for exploring the white city. With only 11 rooms, which are centered around two courtyards, Cirqa offers exclusivity as well as the best in contemporary hospitality coupled with Arequipa authenticity.
With picturesque views over the Colca Canyon, the Belmond Las Casitas del Colca is the ultimate secluded hideaway that perfectly displays Peru's natural beauty. The property’s 20 bungalows (casitas) each come complete with a small outdoor splash pool, a cozy fireplace, private terrace and luxurious finishes throughout. If you want to feel the rush of wind on your skin as you speed through the canyon on two wheels ask for mountain bike in your booking request.
Before or after dinner, your concierge will plan your itinerary for the next day according to your preferences. Activities range from the contemplative to the adventurous and include: mountain biking, highland treks, canoeing, kayaking, visits to Taquile and Uros Islands, Chucuito Peninsula.
Individual ‘casitas’ (bungalows) blend into the flower-filled gardens and are tastefully decorated with bright décor. Each casita has been individually decorated with Peruvian folk art and locally handcrafted furnishings and ornaments, reflecting the love of its owners for the Andean culture and the Sacred Valley. The hotel has its own stables, an intimate indoor spa and an outdoor heated pool to unwind whilst enjoying a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains.
Shortly after enjoy a 3-course gourmet lunch this afternoon at Iskay, located only minutes away from the village center of Maras, idyllically situated on a hill with impressive views over the surrounding valley. Upon arrival, you will be warmly welcomed by Tatiana and Jeremy to their lovingly furnished family home which is also the location of this private restaurant. The season and daily harvest, which comes from the restaurant's own garden and surrounding fields, determine the three-course, delectable menu which is personally created and freshly prepared by the hostess.
The VISTADOME train ride takes you through the Sacred Valley of the Incas up to Aguas Calientes.
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your guide who will assist you onto the shuttle bus to the entrance of the citadel of Machu Picchu. During your guided tour you will experience the uniqueness of the location and the genius that went into its construction. The duration of your magical trip to one of the Seven New Wonders of the World will be 2.5 hours, after which you will make your way back out of the citadel with your guide.
Later in the afternoon, return by VISTADOME train from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo train station. From there, you will be picked up and privately escorted all the way to your hotel in Cusco.
