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.

Nick did exactly what I asked for, was prompt and helpful. Couldn't have asked for anything more.
We had been recommended eshores by a friend who had holidayed in Croatia. We phoned and then used email to communicate with Chris Eaves who made the whole process very easy. He adjusted the holiday to exactly how we wanted it and was very speedy in his replies. We are hoping the holiday goes as…
The trip has been planned with our requirements fulfilled and also given options to change where we wanted. Looking forward to the trip and hope that all goes as smoothly as the booking side
So this is my second time using eshores and I won’t be going anywhere else to book my future holidays. I gave Claire a horrible job in finding what I needed and kept changing the brief but she persevered and found me the best holiday. I’m going in September and can’t wait. I’ll be back…
Excellent prompt service from Michelle. Hotels she suggested all look amazing and the itinerary for the four areas of Italy looked perfectly planned .
Nick was very understanding in as much as we did flex the itinerary quite a bit before booking and we have a holiday package which more than meets our needs.
Great and friendly customer service from Andy, as before. Andy always goes out of his way to find a holiday that matches our requirements.
Excellent service again from Dave. Having booked with e shores on a number of occasions they now understand our parameters. Price, days types of hotels etc.
Having dealt with eShores for several years, and with Dave Felton in particular, the latest holiday arranged by the Company was done smoothly, professionally and to our total satisfaction. Well done and keep up the great service.
Talked with Dave asking for assistance to finf flights for my sister and injured niece from Edinburgh to Perth in W.A. avoiding the Middle East. Dave again came up trumps with flights to suit and at a good price. First class service much appreciated.
Our holiday with Eshores was excellent. Hannah went above and beyond getting us exactly what we wanted and suited us. We couldn’t recommend them enough. The holiday was excellent and all the hotels (this was a multi centre holiday) were well situated particularly the Aston Kona by the sea on The Big Island it truly…
Quick and easy to contact and arrange a basic holiday in Europe. Good price too.
Greek island hopping sorted to perfection. Anna listened to everything I wanted and came up with a detailed plan which exceeded all my expectations. Every island on my to do list and with a choice of hotels. Thank you Anna.
We’ve recently booked a multi-centre holiday to Croatia for later this year through eShores and in particular Hannah. Hannah has been extremely helpful, very approachable, prompt with communications and very informative as regards choices and suggestions for places to stay. We’ve bee extremely happy with the service provided by Hannah and eShores and are very…
Flawless communication with Chris. He’s really easy to talk to, his listening skills are incredible. He delivered the holiday I wanted within a few hours.
Contacted eShores after finding them on internet. Emily was very helpful and knowledgeable. She prepared a schedule and called back with the details and alternatives. Very friendly and professional service; if the holiday is half as good we will be delighted.
Everyone I have spoken to at eShores has been really friendly and helpful. Chris was very knowledgable, gave good advice and put together an itinerary that suits us perfectly and at a great price! The booking and payment system has been really easy so far.
All great
