Peru
Peru's wealth of archaeological treasures is the most extensive in the Americas and includes the incomparable "Lost City" of Machu Picchu and an abundance of spectacular Incan ruins. It is also the home of breathtaking natural wonders like the Peruvian Andes, Lake Titicaca, and the vast Amazon River Basin. Here in the cradle of Pre-Colombian civilization, more than 10,000 years of human culture survives in Peru's archaeological riches, music, dance, sophisticated cuisine, and in the spirit of its fascinating people.
Bolivia
This country offers breathtaking panoramas from the eternal glaciers of the Andes to the Amazon jungle. A unique legacy of millenary cultures within a clean and safe environment is complemented with the symbiosis of races. Bolivia's smiling people are hospitable and proud of its past.

Trip Summary
-
Lima
Lima is a sophisticated and cosmopolitan city that has retained much of its classic colonial architecture and pre-Colombian archaeological sites, that features many of South America`s most beautiful historic museums, churches and cathedrals. The city is alive with activity in its trendy neighborhoods like Miraflores, the beach fronts of Costa Verde and Barranco, and the upscale boutiques, massive shopping plazas, and exclusive shops. Visit the Plaza Bolivar, Plaza Italia, Plaza de Armas, Alameda Chabuca Granda Viewpoint, and much more!
-
Cuzco
Cuzco was the epicenter of Inca civilization until the arrival of the Spaniards in 1533. Fortunately, many stunning Incan structures have survived and helped to make Cuzco the archaeological capital of the Americas, and Peru`s most popular destination. Gateway to the Sacred Valley, and the lost city of Machu Picchu, Cuzco has a seemingly endless array of historic attractions, both Inca and colonial.
Visit the Cuzco main square, Cathedral, Sol Avenue, Koricancha Temple, Kenko, Don Antonia dinner show, and much more! -
Lake Titicaca - Puno
Puno is believed to be the first hub of the indigenous migration in Peru and the birthplace of the Aymara people that existed in southern Peru before the Incas. The area is rich in archaeological sites, most notably the pre-Incan tombs of Sillustani. The main attraction here is the stunningly beautiful Lake Titicaca, and its fabled islands including the floating islands of the Uru people created entirely of dried totora reeds. Each island is unique in culture and customs, and many can be visited during day trips that can be scheduled in the booking process. Explore the Puno City, Uros Islands, Sillustani Tombs, Amantani Island, Taquile Island, and much more!

La Paz
There are a ton of fun things to do in La Paz because it is fast becoming a must-visit destination on the South American gringo trail, partly due to its convenient location between many of Bolivia and Peru’s greatest sites. But this bustling metropolis at a breathtaking 11,600 feet (3,600 meters) above sea level has plenty of worthwhile attractions of its own. Warm clothes are a must, almost any time of year, and do take time to get used to the high altitude before doing serious touring. La Paz is a city that isn’t on every traveler’s radar, but it should be. It’s an amazing city, set among the Andes Mountains and is the highest capital in the world.
Explore the Valle de la Luna, Basilica of Saint Francis, Ethnography Museum, Museo de la Coca, Museo Nacional de Arte, Valle de las Animas, Catedral Metropolitana Basilica Nuestra Senora and much more. -
Santa Cruz de la Sierra
There are a ton of fun things to do in Santa Cruz de la Sierra since it is a totally different world. First of all, its located in tropical East Bolivia, only 400 m above sea level. The mountain scenery and high altitude changed to humid weather, modern vibes and less poverty. People would say not authentic Bolivia. However, we liked this other type of Bolivia with its exceptional flora and fauna as well as a variety of landscapes from snowy mountains to the curvy Amazonas and neverending green forests.Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz is Bolivias largest international airport. You can fly there from Bolivia and other South American countries, as well as North America and Europe. The airport is located approximately 10 miles from the city center.
Visit the Catedral Metropolitana Basilica Menor de San Lorenzo de Santa Cruz, Lomas de Arena Regional Park, Parque El Arenal, Santa Cruz de la Sierra Botanical Garden and much more.
