Private Charter Luxury Galápagos Cruise & Peru

Your journey begins with three days to explore the Sacred Valley while staying at Hotel Rio Sagrado, a luxurious, privately–owned estate. The valley is home to many Indigenous people, and their culture and traditions pervade to this day, offering multiple opportunities for education and an authentic glimpse into rural Peruvian life. Learn about Inca heritage and traditional Quechua culture and history and how they helped to shape modern Peru. Round off your stay with privately guided tours of local markets and meeting traditional artisans and crafters.

There’s a reason that Machu Picchu is high on every round up of bucket list destinations. Visiting the Lost City is like stepping into another world. The awe–inspiring UNESCO World Heritage Site is perched on a mountain ridge some 2,400m above sea level and commands jaw–dropping views over the surrounding landscapes.

As well as an in–depth private tour, we recommend that you take some time to explore the ruins by yourself – you could even climb Huayna Picchu for an alternative view. Your Jacada travel designer will help you decide on the best option for your trip and make sure that you have the Machu Picchu experience you’ve been dreaming of.

Your time in Peru finishes in Cusco, capital of the Incan Empire from the early 14th century until its Spanish conquest. Our guides will tour the city with you, not only explaining its history, but also the hidden secrets of today’s city, from delectable restaurants to local artisans’ workshops. You’ll also visit the neighbourhood of San Blas with its beautiful colonial church.

Ecuador’s capital, one of the highest in the world, is a fascinating mix of historical charm and striking modernity, with contrasts found around every corner of this dynamic but modest city. A tour of the 16th century colonial area of Quito is recommended, where buildings include Independence Square, San Francisco and La Compañía churches. The tour continues with a visit to Itchimbía Hill from where you can have a wonderful view of downtown Quito and the surrounding mountains.
