Peru & Argentine Patagonia

ARRIVAL IN LIMA (79M) – BIKE RIDE ALONG THE MALECÓN

Explore a city that was once the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru and whose architectural treasures have earned it the title of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Today, Lima not only preserves its pre-Hispanic and colonial past but also shines as the gastronomic capital of the Americas.

Delve into Barranco, Lima’s quintessential bohemian district. In the late 19th century, it was an elegant seaside resort accessible only by tram, reserved for the city’s elite. Today, its summer mansions have been transformed into vibrant museums, galleries, bars, restaurants, and boutique hotels. Independent art, history, and a creative energy can be felt on every corner.

Continue on to Miraflores, where pre-Columbian and colonial heritage blend with contemporary sophistication. Immaculate parks, modern architecture, and panoramic views of the Pacific make this district a symbol of modern Lima.

A must-do experience is biking along the malecón that connects these two iconic neighborhoods. Between cliffs, gardens, and street art, you’ll experience a side of Lima that captivates at every turn.

The experience continues at the Larco Museum, one of the world’s most important museums. Set in an 18th-century vice-royal mansion surrounded by lush gardens, its collection of over 35,000 pieces—including textiles, ceramics, and gold and silver jewelry—offers a profound look into the worldview of ancient Peru.

MARKET DAY WITH A CHEF – PARAGLIDING OVER THE COSTA VERDE

Start the day with a deep dive into the essence of Peruvian cuisine, led by a renowned local chef. Discover why Peru is considered one of the world’s top culinary destinations—not just for its flavors, but for the rich cultural stories behind each dish.

Visit a traditional Lima market, where the country’s biodiversity is on full display in a riot of colors, aromas, and textures. Among fresh ingredients from the coast, Andes, and Amazon, you’ll learn how food connects land, history, and culture.

You’ll then learn to prepare two of Peru’s most iconic dishes: ceviche, fresh and vibrant, and lomo saltado, a stir-fry that reflects the country’s cultural fusion.

Upon arrival, we recommend taking some time to rest and gently acclimate to the altitude, allowing your body to adjust so you can fully enjoy the experiences ahead.

In the afternoon, embark on an intimate and exclusive journey through Cusco’s history. Access spaces normally closed to the public and admire the largest canvas painting in South America—a monumental work of art that only a few have the privilege to see up close.

Inside the Convent of San Francisco, you’ll witness how long-forgotten choirs, unique architectural details, and centuries-old religious artifacts are being rescued and preserved. This hidden gem is a true time capsule, transporting you back to Cusco more than four centuries ago.

The day ends with a special celebration: a glass of champagne served atop the convent’s bell tower, where you’ll take in panoramic views of the city’s red rooftops and the surrounding mountains.

WALK AMONG THE RUINS OF THE INCA CEQUE SYSTEM – DINNER AT CICCIOLINA

Today, you’ll dive into one of the most fascinating and lesser-known aspects of Inca cosmology: the ceques—imaginary lines radiating from the center of Cusco toward the four suyus, or cardinal regions of the Inca Empire, in perfect alignment with 328 huacas, or sacred sites.

Accompanied by a historian and expert in Andean culture, you’ll enjoy an easy, enriching hike to four significant archaeological centers located just outside the city.

Near the beautiful Piuray Lagoon lies the village of Chinchero, home to Braulia, a master weaver and guardian of an ancestral tradition passed down through generations of Andean women. In this community, textiles are more than garments: they tell stories, preserve knowledge, and express a unique way of understanding the world.

Accompanied by a renowned Cusqueñan photographer, you’ll step into an intimate space where daily life blends with art, worldview, and memory. With sensitivity and respect, we’ll guide you through this photographic encounter, helping you capture —with your camera or simply your gaze— the simple yet profound beauty of the women of Chinchero: their braids, hands weathered by the land, laughter, woven symbols, and eloquent silences.

Explore, through photography or contemplation, how Andean textile art functions as a visual language filled with meaning and deep connection to nature and the cycles of time.

The experience flows organically: you can learn about photographic techniques, composition, and natural lighting — or simply enjoy the company, the conversations, and the human connection.
