    Welcome to dazzling South America, a continent full of rhythm, colour and soul! With 13 unique countries and some of the world’s most iconic UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites, it’s a place that stirs the spirit and sparks the imagination, and lucky for us, we’re about to explore a few of its finest treasures. This evening, we arrive in Lima, the beautiful capital of Peru, nestled right on the Pacific Coast. Founded in 1535 by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro, it became the heart of Spanish rule in South America for nearly 300 years. Today, Lima surprises at every turn. One moment you’re standing in a peaceful colonial square and the next, you’re strolling past modern cafés or watching the sunset along a breezy coastal path. From grand churches to peaceful cloisters, the city’s energy is warm, vibrant and ready to welcome us. This evening, we’ll meet our fellow travellers over a welcome drink at the hotel, a lovely way to kick off our South American adventure.
    Day 2 - Lima
    Today is all about discovering some of Lima’s most iconic sights, right in the heart of this fascinating city. Our day begins in the charming Barranco district, often called Lima’s most romantic neighbourhood. With its colourful houses, tree-lined streets and vibrant artistic atmosphere, it’s no wonder pts and artists have been drawn to this part of the city for generations. Next, we’ll head to the Larco Museum, tucked inside an 18th century mansion surrounded by blooming gardens. Here, we’ll explore a world-class collection of pre-Columbian art, including ancient gold, textiles and some cheeky ceramics that always spark conversation. After a few hours to rest and relax back at the hotel or to explore at your own pace, we’ll head to the historic centre of Lima in the late afternoon. Here, we’ll admire the elegant colonial architecture and hear tales from Lima’s colourful past. We’ll stop at the grand Plaza Mayor, the city’s main square, and visit the beautiful Cathedral, a Baroque masterpiece built in 1535.

This elegant historic mansion was built on land granted to Captain Jeronimo de Aliaga y Ramirez by conquistador Francisco Pizzaro after Lima’s founding in 1535. The house has been owned by the same family for more than 17 generations and features a unique blend of Spanish and Peruvian architectural styles. Today involves approximately 3 hours of walking.
    Day 3 - Lima – Cusco
    This morning, we’ll fly from Lima to Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire. Situated high in the Andes at over 3,300 metres, Cusco is full of history, from its Inca roots to its colonial charm. This city is the gateway to the Sacred Valley and the famous Machu Picchu.

It’s the perfect place to sip a fresh juice or sample something a little more adventurous. Our journey continues to Qoricancha, once the most sacred temple in the Inca Empire, later transformed by the Spanish into the Santo Domingo Convent. This fascinating site brings two worlds together in one place. The Temple of the Sun was the Incas’ most spectacular temple and also served as their main astronomical observatory. After the Spanish looted and destroyed it, they built the Dominican Convent over the ancient foundations. After some free time for lunch, we’ll continue with a visit to Cusco Cathedral, a magnificent 17th century church filled with intricate woodwork, Baroque altars and art that reveals the blend of Spanish and Indigenous styles.
