Upon arrival into Lima you’ll meet other members of the group before exploring the highlights of the city, immersing yourself in its famous culinary scene, stunning coastline and rich history. There’s also plenty of nightlife and a very welcoming community in Lima.
Days 2 And 3: Sacred Valley
On day 2 of your group trip to Peru, you will be taking a flight over the Andes mountains to Cusco. Here, you will be enchanted by the Sacred Valley where you will stay for two nights in a town which was a formerly inhabited by an Inca emperor. Packed with natural beauty and plenty of history, the Sacred Valley immerses you in the ancient times of the Incas who reigned over this land for hundreds of years.
Day 4: Machu Picchu And Aguas Calientes
On day 4, you will be leaving Ollantaytambo in the morning to travel by train through the Andes and through the Urubamba River. You will arrive the mountain town of Aguas Calientes, named after a hot spring situated nearby. A brief bus ride to the incredible mountaintop ruins of Machu Picchu follows shortly after. Explore the ruins alongside our local Peruvian guide, who was born and raised in the area and is an expert on Machu Picchu.
The remainder of the day is spent soaking up the incredible site which was lost to the outside world for many centuries, before you stay the night at the base of the mountain in Aguas Calientes, giving you what seems like Machu Picchu all to yourself.
Days 5, 6 And 7: Cusco
On day 5 you will be mesmerised by the sunrise at Machu Picchu before boarding the scenic afternoon train back to Cusco. Your three-night stay in Cusco gives you time to visit many of the area’s ancient sites, taste the unique local food, take part in a hike, or even experience some gay nightlife in the Andes.
Day 8: Lima
This is the final day of your gay group tour to through the Inca trail. You can either depart at your own leisure and say your goodbyes or continue on with the 12-day tour through to Paracas.
