Whether you're looking for relaxation or adventure, this capital has it all. ¡Pack your bags and get ready for an unforgettable travel experience in Lima, Peru!
A city tour in Lima, the vibrant capital of Peru, promises an enriching journey through history and culture. Embarking on this adventure unveils a remarkable landmark that showcases Lima's proud heritage. The San Francisco Convent is an architectural gem dating back to colonial times. Your next stop will be at the City Hall, exuding grandeur as it serves as both a symbol of civic pride and administrative power. Beyond lies the iconic Government Palace – an opulent edifice where Peruvian presidents have resided since the country's birth. Next to the Government Palace is the Basilica Cathedral at Plaza de Armas—the heart of Lima’s historical center—where architectural marvels intertwine beautifully with religious devotion. The tour continues into the Miraflores district with its breathtaking coastal views and finalizes at Barranco, known as a cosmopolitan and cultural district.
The adventure begins with a flight to Cusco, gateway to the living history of the Andes. From the air, towering mountains foreshadow the grandeur of the destination. The city tour unveils Qorikancha, the Temple of the Sun, while colonial squares and narrow streets highlight centuries of heritage. The route continues to Sacsayhuamán, with its massive stone walls. Each site reveals a fascinating dialogue between Inca traditions and colonial influences, creating a journey that resonates with history and culture.
After an early breakfast at your hotel in Cusco, a Gotolatam representative will pick you up to start your Sacred Valley tour. The first stop will be the City of Pisac, a small town with exquisite architecture that is the perfect place to buy authentic Andean souvenirs, known as artesanias. As you browse through the selection of traditional clothing and handicrafts, you'll easily understand why the Pisac market has a reputation of its own. In the afternoon, you will visit Ollantaytambo, which is an Inca site that began as a palace or fortress but was eventually used as the last Inca stronghold against the invading Spanish conquistadors. After an exciting day of archaeological exploration, you will board the train to Machu Picchu town – known as Aguas Calientes – at the Ollantaytambo train station. Upon your arrival in Aguas Calientes, a representative of Gotolatam will be waiting for you at the Aguas Calientes train station to take you to your hotel.
Take the bus to the Inca citadel and embark on a guided tour through Machu Picchu’s iconic temples, terraces, and sacred corners. Learn about its historical significance while enjoying stunning views. After the visit, return to Aguas Calientes and spend some free time. Then board the train back and continue to Cusco. This full-day experience blends history, culture, and nature into one unforgettable adventure through one of Peru’s most treasured landmarks.
Rainbow Mountain is one of Peru’s most colorful natural wonders. This hike takes you through remote Andean landscapes, past local herders and grazing llamas, up to Vinicunca’s vibrant mineral-streaked summit. Perfect for adventurers and photographers, this day tour offers high-altitude beauty and unforgettable vistas. Reaching over 5,000 meters, the journey rewards you with breathtaking panoramas and an up-close encounter with one of nature’s most dazzling displays in the Peruvian highlands.
Travel from Cusco to Puno through the renowned Sun Route, a scenic journey filled with cultural richness. Visit the colonial church of Andahuaylillas, explore the impressive ruins of Raqchi, and uncover the legacy of Pukara. This cultural route connects the past and present across majestic Andean landscapes. Upon arrival in Puno, you’ll be welcomed by the mystical highlands and the spirit of traditional communities that keep their heritage alive.
Sail across the world’s highest navigable lake to explore the handmade reed islands of the Uros, where traditions remain deeply rooted. Continue to Taquile, a stone-path island where men weave symbolic textiles rich in heritage. From its high vantage points, the lake shimmers against the Andean horizon. This tour offers a genuine immersion into timeless customs, landscapes, and the cultural endurance of communities that continue to thrive in harmony with the lake’s rhythms.
Start your adventure from Puno, crossing into Bolivia to reach Copacabana. Board a boat to the sacred Sun Island, where you’ll explore Inca stairways, ancient terraces, and the mystical spring of life. After returning to Copacabana, continue overland to La Paz, passing scenic altiplano villages and Lake Titicaca's shores. This full-day journey combines ancient traditions, breathtaking landscapes, and the unique opportunity to cross into Bolivia through one of the most spiritual Andean routes.
La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, is a vibrant and enchanting destination that offers a captivating combination of natural wonders and cultural experiences. Located high in the Andes Mountains at an altitude of more than 3,600 m.a.s.l., this city offers visitors breathtaking views and a unique cultural experience. In the afternoon, we will pick you up from your hotel in La Paz and start your tour. We are going to first visit the Valley of the Moon or Valle de la Luna, which is located on the outskirts of the city of La Paz. Then we will visit the main attractions of La Paz such as the city's lifts that will allow you to observe incredible scenes from the air. We will continue with the visit to the Killi Killi Viewpoint, Plaza Murillo, the Witches Market, and the Church of San Francisco. When the day is over, our Gotolatam staff will take you to your hotel in La Paz.
Early in the morning, we will take you from your hotel to La Paz International Airport to take a short flight to Uyuni, where our Gotolatam staff will be waiting for you to start your Uyuni adventure. On the first day of your visit to the Uyuni National Park, you will visit the Uyuni Train Cemetery. Trains and locomotives that in the 19th and 20th centuries transported tons of tin, silver, and other minerals to the ports of the Pacific Ocean but were left alone in the middle of the highlands. The next place to visit in our tour is the Uyuni Salt Desert where you will be amazed by the surrounding places like Uyuni Flag Square, Salt Blocks, Salt Water Eyes, Stairway to Heaven, and the First Salt Hotel in the World, which is now a museum. During this part of the tour, you will have an extended time to take iconic photos of the Salt Mines and the Uyuni Salt Mirror (available in the rainy season). After this day full of adventures, we will drop you off at your hotel in Uyuni where you can have a restful night.
On this day of your visit to the Uyuni National Park, we will go to the town of San Cristobal and enjoy the impressive views of the Ollagüe Volcano, located almost on the border between Bolivia and Chile. The next stops on your tour are the Hedionda and the Honda Lagoons. We can see wild animals such as the vizcachas next to the Colored Lagoons. When your full-day tour is over, you will be transferred to your hotel in Uyuni for the night.
Make sure you have your camera charged and ready because today we will visit the Uyuni Colorful Lagoons with hundreds of flamingos in its reddish waters that change color depending on the time of day. You will observe the Red Lagoon and its surroundings with volcanoes and hot springs that flow into this lagoon. The next stops are the Sol de Mañana Geyser and Polques Hot Springs where we can refresh ourselves in its natural-medicinal waters and appreciate the landscape of the place. On the way to the beautiful Dali desert, we will taste a typical Bolivian lunch and then we will take you to your hotel in the Uyuni National Park to spend the night.
On the last day of your travel package, we will transfer you to the Uyuni airport to take a domestic flight to La Paz International Airport where you will take a flight home.
