The tour starts with your arrival in Arequipa, the sizzlin’ “White City” in southern Peru. We pick you up from the airport and bring you to the hotel. Here you will get the extensive briefing about your upcoming tour from a PeruMotors representative.
The rest of the day is at leisure in Arequipa, a very nice colonial city with a friendly atmosphere.
Early in the morning the rental car is delivered at the hotel. Finally, the tour starts. The first stage is to the coast, descending about 2,300 meters. From there the route goes northbound along the Pacific coast all the way to Puerto Inka. You will pass small villages and enjoy the spectacular views. The hotel Puerto Inka is one to remember, because of its amazing location, on a natural bay. Once this was the harbor of the Inca’s. There are still some interesting Inca-ruins next to the hotel, which are free to visit.
A relatively short drive through the desert to Nasca. Here you have the opportunity to fly over the world famous Nasca-lines. Not visible from the ground, these lines and figures are there for more than hundreds of years. And still a mystery!
Directly from Nasca the mighty Andes brings you an altitude of more than 4.200 meters, where we will meet the lamas, alpacas and vicuñas. Here starts one of the spectacular driving roads in South America. A 600 km. “Dragon’s Tail”. Passing tourist less Puquio, a beautiful little village in the high Andes. And then even higher over the Andes to Chalhuanca. Just outside this town you will arrive in the hotel in a beautiful setting.
After an early breakfast you are back on the road. More than enough of ascending and descending will be your part. In the end of the afternoon you will arrive in one of the most beautiful cities of South-America: Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca.
From Cusco you will drive into the “Sacred Valley of the Inca’s”. Here you can visit a variety of Inca ruins. Some well-known, some unknown, but all very interesting. The day ends in the authentic Inca-town of Ollantaytambo, where you can visit a very impressive Inca fortress.
The absolute highlight of this tour: Machu Picchu. There is still no road to this magical place. So, early in the morning you go by train to the little town of Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo). From there it is half an hour by bus to the entrance of the citadel. After your visit to the ruins you go back to Ollantaytambo by train.
Today a long connection day, but that doesn’t mean a boring day ! After the highest point of today on 4.300 meter (14,100 feet), the largest high plains (Altiplano) in the world lies ahead. You are on your way to Puno. This is the city on the shores of the highest navigable lake in the world: Lake Titicaca.
In the morning a little boat cruise on lake Titicaca to the “Floating Islands of the Uros”. Then you have to conquer the mighty Andes again. Now westbound. After lunch you will reach the highest point of the whole tour on 4.910 meter (16,100 feet). Then the spectacular descend to the little town of Chivay. Here you can enjoy the natural hot springs to relax.
Early in the morning you must be on your way to ‘Cruz del Condor’. This is one of the best places to see the Andean Condor in flight. Then back on the road to the place where this tour started: Arequipa.
Today we will bring you to the airport for your flight back home.
