ITINERARY
From the moment you arrive in Lima, a team member of Valencia Travel will be waiting for you at the airport and take you, on private transport, to your hotel. Then you will have all day to relax and enjoy the beauty of Lima and its surroundings.
At 3pm there will be an optional free walking tour for those who wish to join (please note that although this is an optional free walking tour, discretionary tips as a gratitude to the guide are welcome). The approximate duration of this tour is 2h.
SERVICES INCLUDED
- 🚗 Excursion: Lima City Tour (4 hours approx.).
- 🎟️ Entrance Fee: Santo Domingo Convent
- 🗣️ Local Tour Guide: English/Spanish
- 🏨 Overnight: Hotel AC Lima Miraflores.
- 🛏️ Accommodation: Deluxe city view Room with private bath.
After Breakfast, a representative of Valencia Travel Cusco will pick you up from the hotel (time to be confirmed) and take you to the airport where you will take your flight to Arequipa. When you arrive at the Arequipa airport our team will be waiting there to warmly welcome you and to help you get settled in your hotel. At your hotel you will find complementary coca tea and muña tea freely available. These natural beverages will help your body to adjust to the high altitude of the White City.
Our Arequipa city tour will take you through the streets of the White City, passing cathedrals, churches, monasteries and more. Your guide will tell you all about life in Arequipa, from colonial times through to the present day. You’ll learn how the city has changed, and how the first Spanish colonists built upon an area once home to ancient peoples of the Peruvian Andes.
SERVICES INCLUDED
- 🚗 Transport: Hotel – Lima Airport (1 hour approx.).
- ✈️ Arequipa Airport – Hotel (35 minutes approx.).
- 🏨 Overnight: Hotel Casa Andina Premium Arequipa.
- 🛏️ Accommodation: Superior Room with private bath.
We’ll make a few stops along the way, the first at the Aguada Blanca National Reserve, where we can watch innumerable guanacos, alpacas and vicuñas as they graze on the plains. The reserve, which covers almost 366,936 hectares, was created to preserve the local flora and fauna and their natural environment, which was previously deteriorating at an alarming rate. The reserve also protects the local vicuña population through its repopulation program.
SERVICES INCLUDED
- 🚗 Excursion: Arequipa to Colca.
- 🗣️ Local Tour Guide: Spanish/English.
- 🏨 Overnight: Aranwa Pueblito Encantado.
- 🛏️ Accommodation: Deluxe Room with private bath.
It’s another early start on Day 5, because there’s so much great stuff to see! First we’ll go to the lookout point known as Cruz del Condor (Cross of the Condor), near the small villages of Maca and Cabanaconde. Here, strong winds rise up from the canyon, providing a favourite spot for Andean condors. They soar on the thermals, often in pairs, normally in the early morning and late afternoon. There’s a good chance you’ll see these huge condors, with their three-meter wingspans, flying very close to the lookout point, providing a truly majestic sight. From the lookout point you’ll also have incredible views down into the depths of Colca Canyon.

The Taquile population was relatively isolated from the mainland until the 1950s, and the notion of community and family is still very strong among them. The weaving tradition of this island goes back to early civilizations and preserves elements from pre-Inca Andean cultures. The most characteristic garments are the “Chullo”, a knitted hat with earflaps, and the “Calendar Waistband”, which depicts annual cycles connected to ritual and agricultural activities. When you reach the island, you’ll walk along a narrow path, enjoying impressive views of Lake Titicaca and charming houses inhabited by direct descendants of the Inca Culture.
