These are some sample traditional tours that include Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu with small group day tours. We can also do itineraries with active or private tours, to suit your interests. (we are quoting with the Costa del Sol Hotel at the airport because flights usually arrive late at night and it is about a 40-45 minute ride to most hotels - so roundtrip transfers + city hotel = about as much as airport hotel. If you prefer to take a taxi back and forth, we can quote for other hotels for better rate or for triple occupancy) Prices do not include flights. Extensions to Amazon and other areas can be added on |
