A simple 7 night itinerary for anyone short on time but keen to visit and explore the magnificent wonders of Machu Picchu.
2 Nights – Lima
5 Nights – Cuzco (Machu Picchu)
UK – Lima (2 nights): You’ll fly from the UK to the coastal capital of Lima, where we’ll transfer you to your hotel for your first 2 nights. Amid deep valleys, Lima nestles colonial cloisters, spire churches, landscaped gardens and the rush of a 21st-century metropolis. Wander El Centro’s Old World grandeur and admire pretty canary yellow facades. Peruse pre-colonial art at the Museo Larco, climb the 1625-built wooden staircase at the Monastery of San Francisco and unwind under architectural splendours at the main Plaza de Armas. Markets, malls and authentic ceviche restaurants break up Lima’s districts, like the verdant and bohemian Miraflores. Enjoy evening folk dancers, Barranco’s beach options and a surprising twist in Chinatown.
Lima– Cuzco (5 nights): You’ll fly direct to Cuzco for five nights – this number gives you time to explore Cuzco at a relaxed pace whilst you acclimatise to the altitude, before finishing at the New 7 Wonders Of The World Machu Picchu. Cuzco is the city gateway to the world-famous Inca trail, with the Sacsayhuamán site two miles north. Cuzco itself blends Quechua culture, Inca heritage, Spanish flair and a breath-taking Andean mountain setting. Clay-tile roofing and cobbles here stagger beautifully preserved tradition amid vibrant markets and ancient relics. Gaze up at the Catedral de Cuzco and Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús, sample roasted pollo a la brasa chicken and dive in and out of local bars.
Incas Sacred Valley Day Trip: Once you’re a little more acclimatised you will do this amazing day trip to discover the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Explore some of the most well known sites associated with this mysterious civilisation and take in the stunning Andean landscapes that surround it.
Machu Picchu Day Trip: The highlight for many here is the 26-mile Machu Picchu trail, which we include as a day tour by rail, but we can also arrange for you to trek the trail. Beautifully preserved Inca culture here is showcased in sights such as the Temple of the Sun, Sun Gate and The Sacred Rock. Cascading terraces frame this 7th New Wonder of the World citadel, and brave travellers can hike up the demanding Huayna Picchu (where the photo ops are legendary).
While in Cusco, take the opportunity to visit the stunning Rainbow Mountain, a natural wonder with its vibrant, multi-coloured slopes, offering breath-taking views and an unforgettable experience amidst the Andes.
Cuzco – UK: On your final day, we’ll be at your hotel to meet and transfer you back to the airport for your flight back to the UK.

We haven't had the holiday yet but the booking process was excellent. Looking to see several of the smaller islands of Greece the suggested itinerary met our requirements exactly. Each location had an option of three different hotels but our in depth research of each island just confirmed that the suggested one was the best.…
Used Eshores earlier this year for a trip to Venice and Florence. Excellent holiday. All arrangements by Eshores were brilliant. Have recently booked another holiday with them. Again, easy to deal with. They take care to ensure everything arranged to your wishes.
Claire at eShores was friendly, professional and creative in setting up a multi-centre holiday over Christmas and New Year, including all international and inter-Caribbean flights. Nothing was too much trouble and our whims and wishes were all taken into account. Ongoing support is excellent. We cannot recommend eShores highly enough.
Good communication, prompt service, love the way the quote is laid out all details are included also with the option of upgrading your hotel. So far so good.
