Trip Summary
Upon arrival to the “City of Kings” you will have the opportunity to appreciate the food, culture, architecture and art in the capital of the World’s most diverse country. After a typical lunch visit the Archaeological Museum containing the best pieces of pre-Columbian art from the rich archaeological zones of Peru, followed by a visit to the Larco Gold Museum.
From the coastal desert you fly into the Andes Mountains to the "White City" of Arequipa, Alpaca Capital of the World. This beautiful city at 2000m is rimmed by three Volcanoes and home to the 16th-century Santa Catalina Convent, where the inhabitants have lived cut off from the outside world for more than 400 years. Here Alpaca industry visits and an evening with local industry representatives will be the starting point for your “Camelid Route” into the high Andes.
Early flight and transfer to Puno located on the World’s highest navigable lake, Lake Titicaca. After a full day boat trip and night on the Lake you will set out through ancient Aymaran lands with local “Alpaceros” for 4 days. Starting with a Vicuña Chacu, this unique experience also includes visits to Rural Alianza, Macusani (Huacaya Alpacas), Nuñoa (Suri Alpacas), a judging course and visit to La Raya research Centre. From La Raya you will make your way to Cusco visiting Raqchi (Temple of the Wiracocha God) and Andahuaylillas (Sistine Chapel of Americas).
The Imperial City of Cusco is referred to as "the navel of the World". Here you will visit Incan ruins, take in 500 year old Spanish architecture and learn about the indigenous Quechua culture. From Cusco set out through stunning Andean scenery to the Sacred Valley of the Incas where you will visit colourful local markets and imposing Incan fortresses before setting off on the train to mystical Machu Picchu. You will gracefully traverse through high-mountain desert, cloud forest, mountain passes and orchid-rich jungle on your way to "The Lost City of the Incas". No other place on Earth combines such spectacular natural beauty with such intrigue. Returning to Cusco a short flight sees you returning to Lima where you have the option of a City Tour or perhaps the opportunity for some last minute shopping in Miraflores. Overnight in Lima before departing Peru.
Kutimunki Peru is an Alpaca experience you will never forget!!!
