Lima–Cusco Express

Summary

Why Choose This Experience

Make the most of five days to explore Lima, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu with an itinerary that brings together some of Peru’s most sought-after destinations in a compact tour. Lima–Cusco Express is designed for those with limited time who wish to combine a visit to the capital with an experience in the Andes, following a set itinerary from arrival to departure. The first leg of the trip allows you to get to know Lima and its urban heritage through the city tour included in the itinerary. You’ll then continue by plane to Cusco, where the landscape and pace shift to make way for Inca history, the mountains, and the villages of the Sacred Valley. The excursion through this valley lasts one full day, giving you time to take in the surroundings, explore the sites along the route, and enjoy the lunch included in the tour. The highlight of the package is the visit to Machu Picchu. The scheduled transfers and train ride will take you to Aguas Calientes, from where access to the archaeological site is arranged. During the guided tour, you’ll be able to admire the structures and terraces as you follow the designated route and the schedule for your confirmed admission. This package is particularly appealing for a first trip to Peru or for a getaway focused on the must-see destinations without too many regional changes. With BeFun, you can review accommodation options, the itinerary for the four nights, and transportation schedules before making a decision. It’s also important to check the luggage allowance and coordinate your arrival in Cusco, keeping acclimatization in mind. The departure flight from Cusco is arranged separately, so it’s best to finalize your connections once the itinerary is confirmed. Request a quote for the Lima–Cusco Express and get the details on tickets, meals, and services for your dates. It’s a convenient way to experience Peru’s diversity—including its cities, valleys, and archaeological heritage—all in a single trip.
