Magical Peru
Why Choose This Experience
Explore the coast and the Andes on the “Magical Peru” tour, a 14-day, 13-night journey that connects Lima, Paracas, Nazca, Arequipa, Colca, Puno, and Cusco. This itinerary is designed for those who wish to discover the country’s diversity through a route that combines cities, natural landscapes, and archaeological heritage. The tour begins in Lima and continues to Paracas, where a boat trip to the Ballestas Islands offers a close-up view of the coastal marine environment. In Nazca, the scheduled scenic flight provides a different perspective of the geoglyphs, while ground tours round out the day before continuing on to Arequipa. The city and the Colca Valley feature architecture, scenic viewpoints, and Andean landscapes that accompany the journey to Puno. A boat trip on Lake Titicaca and visits to Uros and Taquile offer a glimpse into traditions tied to the lake, before continuing along the Ruta del Sol to Cusco. There, a city tour and a visit to the Sacred Valley set the stage for the arrival in Aguas Calientes and the visit to Machu Picchu. The itinerary also includes free time before returning to Cusco, allowing you to enjoy the surroundings through the activities you choose to book. This itinerary is particularly appealing to travelers who prefer to spend two weeks on an extensive tour, with organized connections between regions and a variety of experiences every few days. BeFun will help you review the hotels, the number of nights per destination, and the details of included excursions, meals, and transportation. Keep in mind that some legs of the trip involve long journeys and that flight or boat departures are subject to operational conditions. It’s also advisable to plan for acclimatization and check the appropriate luggage requirements for each leg of the trip. The final Cusco–Lima flight is included in the proposal, and its cost may vary depending on the date. Request availability and a detailed quote to plan a trip that combines the coast, the highlands, and history, with time to discover how Peru’s diverse landscapes are interconnected.
