Itinerary
Day 1 · Arrival in Lima
Reception and transfer to your hotel in Lima, the starting point of this route combining the Peruvian coast with the Cusco highlands.
✓ Includes: transport + local guide.
Day 2 · Lima City Tour
Lima's historic center keeps its colonial layout almost intact, with the Plaza Mayor and its carved wooden balconies; the seafront neighborhoods, like Miraflores and Barranco, show the city's more contemporary side.
✓ Includes: transport + local guide.
Day 3 · Huacachina and Paracas
Huacachina is a genuine oasis ringed by giant dunes in the middle of the desert; Paracas, on the south coast, protects a marine reserve home to sea lions, flamingos and guano birds.
✓ Includes: transport + local guide.
Day 4 · Pachacamac
Pachacamac was an active ceremonial center long before the Inca ever reached the central coast — today its adobe pyramids stand at Lima's doorstep, almost within the city itself.
