TODO PERÙ 2027 date fisse italiano collettivo

Welcome upon arrival and transfer to the hotel. The room is available starting from 14. Lima stretches along the desert coast of the Pacific, capital of Peru and the gateway to every journey through the Andean nation. Founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the "City of Kings," it preserves a historic centre listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the Spanish colonial legacy intertwines with the energy of a contemporary metropolis. The monumental heart revolves around the Plaza Mayor, framed by the Cathedral, the Palacio de Gobierno and the famous carved wooden balconies overlooking the streets of the old town. A few steps away, the Convento de San Francisco holds catacombs and an ancient library, while the Casa de Aliaga recounts five unbroken centuries of history. Moving toward the ocean, the districts of Miraflores and Barranco reveal the city's modern, bohemian soul: along the Malecón, clifftop paths run high above the sea, the Parque del Amor offers Pacific sunsets, and paragliders glide over the waves. Barranco, with its pastel-coloured houses, the Puente de los Suspiros and its art studios, is the haunt of artists and musicians. Not far from the centre rises the Huaca Pucllana, an adobe pyramid of the pre-Columbian Lima culture, a testament to a past that predates the arrival of the Europeans. Today Lima is recognised as one of the gastronomic capitals of Latin America: birthplace of fresh ceviche, fish marinated in lime, the pisco sour, nikkei cuisine blending Peruvian and Japanese traditions, and acclaimed restaurants ranked among the world's best. The markets of San Isidro and the refined eateries of Miraflores reflect a passion for food that defines the country's identity. Between museums devoted to pre-Columbian gold and Moche ceramics, ocean-battered cliffs and a lively nightlife, Lima invites you to discover it slowly, amid colonial history, unforgettable flavours and the boundless horizon of the Pacific. Available evening.
Accommodation Casa Andina Miraflores Select.

Breakfast. In the morning, visit the city. Departure to Paracas. You travel along the Pan-American Highway following the coast south of Lima, one of the driest regions on the planet. Arrival at Paracas. Between desert and ocean, Paracas is one of the most captivating natural destinations on the Peruvian coast. Boat trips set out from here to the Ballestas Islands, home to colonies of sea lions, Humboldt penguins and thousands of seabirds. The Paracas National Reserve protects a spectacular landscape of desert cliffs and lonely bays, where the rock formation of La Catedral stands out. Along the shore appears the mysterious Candelabro geoglyph, carved into a hillside. With golden beaches, abundant wildlife and fiery sunsets, Paracas offers a rare meeting of sand, sea and untamed life. Available evening.

Breakfast. In the morning, visit to Ballestas. Islas Ballestas are an archipelago off the southern coast of Peru, often called the “Peruvian Galápagos” due to their extraordinary marine biodiversity. The islands are home to colonies of sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and numerous seabird species, which can be observed during boat excursions from Paracas. During the journey, visitors can also admire the mysterious Candelabra of Paracas, a massive geoglyph carved into the desert coastline. Continue to Nazca. Known around the world for the enigmatic lines traced across its desert, Nazca is one of Peru's most fascinating archaeological destinations. The famous Nazca Lines, immense figures of animals and geometric shapes visible only from above, are best admired during a panoramic flight in small aircraft. Nearby, the Chauchilla cemetery holds mummies and artefacts preserved intact by the arid climate, while the Cantalloc aqueducts attest to the ingenious hydraulic engineering of the ancient civilization. Amid mystery, desert and ancient cultures, Nazca invites you to ponder one of humanity's most captivating riddles.

Breakfast. In the morning, visit to Arequipa. Arequipa rises at over 2,300 metres, watched over by the three volcanoes Misti, Chachani and Pichu Pichu, and owes its nickname "Ciudad Blanca" to sillar, the pale volcanic stone of its elegant historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city's heart is the Plaza de Armas, framed by arcades and the grand cathedral, while nearby the Santa Catalina Monastery unfolds like a small citadel of ochre and indigo lanes. Don't miss the church of La Compañía, with its finely carved Baroque façade, and the districts of Yanahuara and Cayma, which offer spectacular views of the volcanoes. Arequipa's cuisine is among Peru's most celebrated, with dishes such as rocoto relleno and chupe de camarones. Gateway to the Colca Canyon, Arequipa blends colonial elegance, bold flavours and sweeping Andean landscapes. Afternoon available.
Accommodation San Agustin Posada del Monasterio.

Breakfast. Departure to Colca Canyon. Carved by the Colca River through the mountains of southern Peru, the Cañón del Colca is one of the deepest canyons in the world, with walls plunging more than three thousand metres. Its slopes are shaped by pre-Inca agricultural terraces, still farmed by the Collagua and Cabana communities who preserve their language and traditional dress. The most anticipated moment is dawn at the Cruz del Cóndor, where majestic Andean condors soar on the rising thermals. Along the valley, the villages of Chivay and Yanque welcome travellers with colonial churches and hot springs perfect for relaxing after a hike. A grand landscape where nature, tradition and wildlife come together. The journey from Arequipa to the Colca Valley is spectacular and adrenaline-filled: you pass by the two volcanoes Chachani and Pichu Pichu, cross the Pampa Cañahuas Vicuna Reserve with grazing vicuñas, see pre-Inca terraces traversed by herds of llamas with shepherds in traditional costumes, and cross the Patapampa pass at an altitude of 4,910 m; the ascent is truly challenging and the lack of oxygen is felt, but the descent into the canyon to the village of Chivay, 1,300 m lower, is fantastic. Lunch. I am available for the rest of the afternoon.
Accommodation Casa Andina Colca Standard

PLEASE NOTE: from Arequipa to Colca Canyon private vehicle / Italian language guide.

Breakfast. Early in the morning departure for Cruz del Condor. "La Cruz del Condor" (3,287 m) is a viewpoint with a spectacular view of the canyon; with a bit of luck, you may be able to see majestic condors in flight, the symbolic birds of the Andes. Continue to Puno. From the Colca Valley to Puno, the road travels at high altitude in a landscape reminiscent of the tundra, with small herds of llamas and alpacas, lakes, and rare villages; the journey takes about 6 hours. Arrival at Puno in the afternoon. Puno stretches along the shores of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, and is regarded as Peru's folklore capital. From its waters rise the famous Uros Islands, built entirely from totora reed that the inhabitants weave into their homes and boats, while further out lie the islands of Taquile and Amantani, where ancient traditions endure. The textile art of Taquile is recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. A meeting point of Quechua and Aymara cultures, Puno is at its best in February, when the festival of the Virgen de la Candelaria fills the streets with music, dance and vivid costumes. Amid vast waters and high-altitude skies, it is a place where Andean culture is still lived authentically. Hotel accommodation.

On its waters float the Uros islands, built from totora reeds, while Taquile and Amantani preserve age-old traditions of weaving and hospitality. Puno is the gateway to this world, where Quechua and Aymara cultures keep their language and rituals alive. A landscape of light and silence suspended between sky and high plateau.

Breakfast. Departure to Cuzco. You cross the Andes Cordillera amidst magnificent landscapes, with stops in the village of Raqchi with the imposing walls of the Inca temple built to appease the wrath of the god Viracocha, in Andahuaylillas with a 17th-century church, a magnificent example of provincial colonial art, and in the village of Pucarà, famous for its colorful ceramics. The highest point of the journey is the La Raya pass (4,335 m). Lunch at a restaurant. Arrival at Cuzco. Once the capital of the Inca Empire, Cuzco unfolds at over 3,400 metres above sea level among the mountains of the Peruvian Andes, holding within its very name — Qosqo, "the navel of the world" — the sacred role it played for centuries. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city is a living palimpsest in which mighty Inca walls, perfectly fitted without mortar, form the foundations of Spanish colonial palaces and churches. Its beating heart is the Plaza de Armas, dominated by the Cathedral and the Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús, surrounded by arcades, cafés and craft workshops. Nearby, the Qorikancha — the Temple of the Sun, once clad in sheets of gold — bears witness to the architectural genius of the Inca, upon which the conquistadors built the convent of Santo Domingo. Climbing toward the San Blas quarter, cobbled lanes, flower-filled balconies and artists' studios reveal the city's most intimate soul, while the famous alley of Hatun Rumiyoc guards the legendary twelve-angled stone. On the heights above Cuzco rises the ceremonial fortress of Sacsayhuamán, with its enormous megalithic blocks, an ideal starting point to explore the Sacred Valley of the Incas. From here you reach the sites of Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero, with their colourful markets and agricultural terraces carved into the mountains, and above all Machu Picchu, the mythical lost city among the clouds. Cuzco is also a sensory experience: markets such as San Pedro are fragrant with corn, Andean potatoes and tropical fruits, while local cuisine offers dishes such as cuy, alpaca and chicha de jora. Amid ancestral ceremonies, festivals like Inti Raymi and a spirituality that still pervades the streets, Cuzco welcomes the traveller into a journey out of time, where Inca history and colonial heritage coexist beneath the clear Andean sky.

Set between steep, forest-clad mountainsides where the Andes begin to give way to the Amazon, it owes its name to the hot springs that have long made it a place of rest. From here begins the climb to Machu Picchu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the new seven wonders of the world, where the trail leads to the Puerta del Sol and its legendary views. Among restaurants, craft markets and the ceaseless rush of the river, Aguas Calientes is the lively threshold to an unforgettable experience. Transfer to the hotel on foot.
