Adventure Peru:
From Machu Picchu to the Jungle
Spectacular contrasts: from Andean peaks to cloud forest
Adventure Peru is a signature route created for those who want to feel the true pulse of South America. This itinerary combines the majesty of Machu Picchu with the raw beauty of the high Andes and the mystery of the high jungle (Selva Alta). As a local operator based in Cusco, we have designed this expedition to Peru in a way that allows close contact with nature without giving up comfort. We will visit not only the classic highlights but also venture into areas less frequented by tourists, offering unique tailor-made experiences.
A key element of the expedition is the exploration of the high jungle, where the Andean slopes drop sharply towards the Amazon basin. Here we will discover the incredible biodiversity of the cloud forests, waterfalls and coffee plantations, staying in luxury eco-lodges integrated with the surrounding nature. Our small group (up to 10 people) allows us to move freely along the route and give individual attention to every participant, which is essential in such varied terrain.
Throughout the journey we provide full Polish-speaking expert support. Our leaders are enthusiasts who live in Peru and know it inside out. From precise acclimatisation in the Sacred Valley, through boat trips, to a luxury ride on a panoramic train – every stage is under our direct control. This is a premium journey for active travellers, combining the adventure of a lifetime with the safety and quality that discerning travellers expect.
The Andes and the Incas
We discover the history of Cusco and the Sacred Valley. This stage prepares the body for altitude and is full of Inca ruins and local crafts, surrounded by the highest peaks of Peru.
Land of Cloud Forests
We descend towards the jungle. You will experience an incredible change of climate and landscape. An expedition to the Amazon in this region means encounters with rare animal species and wild flora.
Flavours and Adventure
We visit local communities that grow organic coffee. Our tours of Peru always focus on authenticity and on supporting local producers of high-quality goods.
As a local operator in Cusco, we invite you on an expedition that will redefine your idea of adventure. Our Polish travel agency in Peru guarantees not only safety but also access to places that remain out of reach for mass-market groups. If you are looking for a tailor-made expedition that combines Machu Picchu with the wildness of the tropical jungle, this itinerary is the ideal choice.

Gateway to the City of Kings: Landing on the Pacific
Your great loop begins in Lima – the only capital in South America that looks directly out over the waves of the Pacific Ocean. On arrival a private chauffeur will be waiting to take you to a boutique oasis in the upscale district of Miraflores. The first evening is a celebration of the senses: a welcome dinner at one of the world's best restaurants and your first velvety Pisco Sour. It is a moment to catch your breath and feel the rhythm of a continent that is about to reveal its greatest treasures to you.
Cusco: Capital of the Empire of the Sun
We fly over the snow-capped ridges of the Andes to land in Cusco – the navel of the world according to the Incas. The scent of eucalyptus and wood smoke will greet you at 3,400 m above sea level. Together we will discover the colonial centre built on mighty Inca foundations that have survived the centuries. A walk through the artistic district of San Blas will let you feel the soul of this place, and a traditional coca leaf tea will help your body gently greet the Andean energy.
The Sacred Valley: Maras, Moray and white gold
We venture deep into the Valle Sagrado, where time flows to the rhythm of the Urubamba river. You will see the surreal Salinas de Maras – thousands of salt pools shimmering in the sun like precious lace. A moment later you will stand above the hypnotic circles of Moray, an Inca agricultural laboratory where engineers of centuries past challenged the laws of nature. We end the day in Ollantaytambo, the only living Inca town, where history still pulses through the cobbled streets.
Abra Malaga: The ecstasy of freedom and a descent into the jungle
Get ready for the most spectacular descent of your life. From a freezing pass at 4,230 m a.s.l. we set off downhill by bike – from the land of glaciers straight into the warm embrace of the high jungle. With every kilometre you will feel the air growing thicker and smelling of the tropics. It is a journey through several climate zones in a single afternoon, ending with a well-deserved rest in the heart of the steaming, green Amazon.
Mandor and the Secrets of Chuncho Chocolate
The trek to the hidden Mandor waterfalls is an encounter with wild nature in its purest form. In the afternoon you will learn everything about the noblest cocoa in the world. Guided by a local family, you will take part in a workshop and follow the process from bean to bar. Hand-made Cacao Chuncho chocolate tastes completely different here from anything you know from shop shelves.
Machu Picchu: Dawn in the Lost Citadel
This is the climax, the reason people cross an ocean. At dawn, before the first tourist train reaches the gates, you will stand face to face with Machu Picchu. You will watch the sun slowly reveal the Temple of the Condor and the royal chambers wrapped in morning mist. This is the energy of a place that was never conquered. The return on the luxury Vistadome train with its panoramic roof will let you feast your eyes on the beauty of Andean nature on the way back to Cusco.
Sacsayhuaman: Stones that challenge the gods
Today we discover the power of Inca engineering. We will visit Coricancha – the most important Temple of the Sun, whose walls once gleamed with pure gold. Then we head to Sacsayhuaman, where gigantic boulders weighing hundreds of tonnes were fitted together with a precision that still astonishes scientists today. Here you will feel the true majesty of the former empire.
Cusco: A free day to soak up the magic
Time for your own discoveries. You can tuck yourself away in an atmospheric wine bar overlooking the Plaza de Armas, visit local boutiques selling the finest alpaca wool, or simply soak up the atmosphere of Cusco from the steps of the baroque cathedral. It is a day to recharge and quietly let the impressions so far settle in your heart before the road ahead.
Palcoyo: A multicoloured spectacle and a night with a Quechua family
Instead of crowded Vinicunca, we will take you to Palcoyo. A short trek will reveal three rainbow mountains that look as if painted by a giant's brush. In the evening, authenticity in its purest form awaits: a night with a Quechua family in Raqchi. Painting ceramics together and a traditional dinner under the Andean sky is the moment you stop being a tourist and become a guest.
Sillustani: Funerary towers above Lake Umayo
We travel across the Altiplano towards Puno. We will visit Sillustani – a mysterious necropolis with gigantic stone chullpas (burial towers). The view of Lake Umayo at sunset, surrounded by stark mountains, creates a mystical atmosphere that will prepare you for your encounter with the world's highest navigable lake.
Titicaca and the Island of the Sun: The Birth of a Legend
We cross the border into Bolivia. We will sail out onto the waters of Lake Titicaca to reach the legendary Island of the Sun. According to Inca belief, this is where the god Viracocha and the first rulers of the empire were born. A walk along ancient paths with views of the snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Real is an experience that touches the soul.
La Paz: Flying over the world's highest capital
A spectacular arrival in La Paz by the Teleférico cable car. Beneath your feet stretches the gigantic brick amphitheatre of a city suspended in the clouds. We will visit the Witches' Market and the surreal Valley of the Moon, whose rock formations resemble landscapes from another planet.
Salar de Uyuni: A journey into a dream
We enter an endless expanse of white. Salar de Uyuni is 10,000 km² of immaculate salt, the largest natural mirror on Earth. By 4x4 we will reach Incahuasi Island, where giant cacti grow out of an ancient ocean floor. Here the horizon disappears completely and you will feel as if you were levitating among the clouds. It is the most surreal place on the globe.
Laguna Colorada: Red Waters and Flamingos
A journey through the Andean wilderness to the blood-red Laguna Colorada. You will see thousands of pink flamingos wading in the shallow waters against a backdrop of majestic volcanoes. This is the raw, wild beauty of the Altiplano, which teaches humility before the power of nature.
Chile: San Pedro and Stardust
We leave Bolivia and enter Chile. San Pedro de Atacama is an oasis in the driest desert in the world. In the evening a professional astronomy tour awaits – the starry sky here is so clear that you can almost touch the Milky Way. You will see the rings of Saturn through advanced telescopes.
Valley of the Moon: Sunset at the end of the world
We explore the Valle de la Luna. At sunset the wind-carved salt and sand formations take on shades of purple and gold. It is a spectacle of light that makes you feel like the first explorer on an alien planet.
Santiago de Chile: The pulse of a modern capital
Flight to Santiago. Time for a walk through the historic centre, a visit to the colourful Bellavista district and a tasting of superb Chilean wines in one of the atmospheric wine bars. The city at the foot of the mighty Andes pulses with modernity and elegance.
Valparaiso: A harbour tango of murals and colour
A trip to colourful Valparaiso (UNESCO). A walk through a labyrinth of stairways, steep streets and murals that tell a story of freedom. A final sunset over the Pacific with a glass of Chilean Carménère is the perfect close to this 19-day epic.
Farewell to South America: The journey home
Transfer to the airport and return flight. You go home richer in unforgettable images, the scents of Andean herbs and the energy of three fascinating countries. Your great loop has come to an end, but these 19 days will stay in your heart forever.
Choquequirao: Trek to
the Lost City of the Incas
The Last Bastion of the Incas: A Challenge for True Travellers
The trek to Choquequirao is one of the most elite routes in the entire Andes. Although the city is twice the size of Machu Picchu, only a handful of adventurers reach it each year. As a local operator in Peru, we have prepared this itinerary for people who choose raw contact with history and nature over tourist crowds. It is an expedition to a place where condors circle above the ruins and the only way in is a multi-day hike through the Apurimac river canyon.
Our trip to Choquequirao is a premium-standard expedition. We provide full logistical support: from experienced mountain guides, through a team of mules carrying the equipment, to a cook preparing nutritious meals in the heart of the mountains. Thanks to a small group (maximum 8 people), we maintain the pace and safety that are essential when tackling significant differences in altitude. This is no ordinary hike – it is a lesson in humility before the power of the Andes and the genius of the Inca builders.
After the trek we provide a well-deserved rest in a boutique hotel in Cusco and a relaxing finale to the expedition with a visit to Machu Picchu, allowing a full comparison of the two cities. By choosing our Polish travel agency in Peru, you can be sure your expedition is planned with attention to every detail, from professional acclimatisation to top-quality camping equipment. Discover Choquequirao before it becomes the new destination of mass tourism.
Apurimac Canyon
We cross one of the deepest canyons in the world. This is a stage of physical challenge, rewarded with spectacular views of Andean peaks and raw nature untouched by modernity.
The Ruins of Choquequirao
Two full days to explore the Inca city. The Choquequirao trek gives access to places still being studied by archaeologists, including the famous llama terraces.

Cusco: Capital of the Inca World
We fly deep into the Andes. Cusco is a place where every stone has a soul. We stroll along cobbled streets, visit the San Pedro market and soak up the energy of the city that will be our base before the expedition into the wild. Acclimatising over coca tea is today's key to success.

The Trek Begins: Apurimac Canyon
We leave Cusco and head for Capuliyoc. Ahead lies a monumental descent straight into the heart of the mighty Apurimac river canyon. You will feel the wave of heat rising from the bottom of the gorge and see majestic condors circling over the abyss. This is where your test of character begins.
Santa Rosa: Climbing towards the Clouds
This is the toughest stage. A laborious zigzag ascent up a steep slope. Every step is a battle with gravity, but the reward is breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks. A night in Santa Rosa means a silence no money can buy.
Choquequirao: Golden Cradle of the Incas
You arrive where fewer than 1% of tourists ever get. Choquequirao is the "second Machu Picchu", but bigger and more mysterious. We explore terraces, priests' houses and viewpoints suspended over the abyss. Here you are alone with history.
Exploration: The white llama terraces
A whole day for in-depth exploration of Choquequirao. You will see unique white-stone mosaics depicting llamas, which the Inca builders set into the mighty agricultural terraces. It is a time for contemplation in a place that time has spared for the chosen few.
Pinchinuyoc: Hidden in the green
We descend from the main citadel to the terraces of Pinchinuyoc, still being swallowed by lush jungle. You will feel like the first explorer of these forgotten structures. It is an incredible contrast between the starkness of the mountains and the wildness of the tropics.
Rio Blanco and the Yanama Challenge
We descend to the Blanco river, only to climb again towards the picturesque settlement of Yanama. This stage crosses wild, uninhabited country where your only companions are herds of alpacas and condors. The true starkness of the high Andes.
Yanama Pass: Roof of the World
We conquer a pass at almost 4,700 m a.s.l. Beneath your feet stretches an endless sea of Andean ranges. It is a moment of absolute triumph over your own weaknesses and a feeling of infinite freedom.

A trek along the railway line to the town of Machu Picchu Pueblo. A well-deserved soak in the hot springs and a night in a comfortable hotel. Your body will feel the luxury after days spent in the mountains.
Machu Picchu: An Encounter with the Sacred
At dawn we enter the citadel. Machu Picchu wrapped in mist is a sight that stays in the heart forever. A tour with our expert will reveal the engineering genius of the Incas. Return on the panoramic Vistadome train.
Sacsayhuaman and Gourmet Cusco

For those who still want more – a trip to the colourful mountains of Palcoyo. Without crowds, in silence, we admire minerals shimmering in the colours of the rainbow. It is a last encounter with Andean magic.
Return to Lima and shopping
Flight to the capital. Time for last-minute shopping for high-quality alpaca and silver goods. An evening stroll along Lima's seafront at sunset.

In the Circle of Pachamama:
A Women's Journey through Peru
Immersion in the energy of the Andes: More than sightseeing
In the Circle of Pachamama is a signature itinerary created for women who want to experience Peru with all their senses. This is no ordinary round trip – it is a women's journey to Peru that combines luxurious regeneration with deep Andean spirituality. We focus on the energy of Mother Earth (Pachamama), celebrating femininity surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the world. As a local operator, we invite you to join an intimate group (maximum 8 participants), which guarantees closeness and a deep experience of every moment.
During this tailor-made expedition we will visit not only iconic Machu Picchu and Cusco but, above all, the places of power in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The itinerary includes workshops with local weavers, ceremonies with an Andean shaman (curandero) and yoga and meditation sessions with views of glaciers. We have selected spa-style boutique hotels that fit the philosophy of sustainable luxury, offering treatments based on natural products from the Amazon and the Andes.
This is a journey in the spirit of slow travel. We give ourselves time for conversations over Peruvian cocoa, for shared meals at the best farm-to-table restaurants and for contemplating the nature of Lake Titicaca. With us you will discover a European standard of care in Peru combined with the Peruvian passion for life. Allow yourself to breathe in the land of the Incas, where every moment is a celebration of Pachamama.
Meeting in Cusco
We begin in the heart of the Andes. For us Cusco is a base for gentle acclimatisation, walks along colonial streets and the first shared dinners, during which we discover the flavours of Peru.
The Power of the Sacred Valley
This is a time for workshops and closeness to nature. We visit Machu Picchu at sunrise, but also the hidden terraces of Maras and Moray, celebrating the silence and the power of Inca engineering.
Peace on Lake Titicaca

Cusco: Entering High Vibrations
We fly over snow-capped peaks to Cusco – the former capital of the Empire of the Sun. At 3,400 m above sea level time flows differently. This is a day for easing gently into the Andean energy. A walk through San Blas, a cup of coca leaf tea and soaking up the magic of a city where Inca walls meet colonial architecture. Here you will feel the heartbeat of the continent, which will begin to synchronise with your own.
Sacsayhuaman and the Temple of the Sun
We immerse ourselves in the spiritual heritage of the Incas. We will visit Coricancha – the most important sanctuary of the Sun, whose walls once gleamed with pure gold. Then we will stand beneath the gigantic boulders of Sacsayhuaman. It is an encounter with a power that teaches stability and solid foundations. In the evening we will take part in a sharing circle to talk about what these ancient walls have stirred in us.
The Sacred Valley: Maras and Moray
We descend into the Sacred Valley of the Urubamba river. You will discover the Salinas de Maras – thousands of salt pools, the white gold of Pachamama. Then Moray – circular terraces that look like nature's amphitheatres. This is where Inca sages controlled the climate. For us it is a space to meditate on harmony, the rhythm of nature and the cycles of life that shape us.
Chinchero: The Weavers' Circle and Tradition
Chinchero is a place where the strength of women is tangible. We will meet local weavers who for generations have guarded the secrets of Andean craftsmanship. You will see how natural dyes and alpaca wool become exquisite textiles. It is an authentic lesson in patience and the joy of creating together. A day devoted to female solidarity and wisdom passed from mother to daughter.
Descent to the High Jungle: Coffee and Cocoa
From freezing passes we descend towards the steaming tropics. The air becomes thick and scented with flowers. We will visit a local family's coffee plantation. You will follow the bean's journey from bush to a cup of the finest brew. It is a moment for grounding, contact with fertile soil and tasting the noblest Cacao Chuncho, which we will prepare with our own hands.
Cocalmayo Hot Springs and the Road to Aguas Calientes
Time to recharge. Bathing in the crystal-clear thermal waters of Cocalmayo, perched on the riverbank, is a cleansing ritual for body and spirit. In the afternoon, a trek along the railway line – we walk towards Machu Picchu, surrounded by lush greenery and the song of exotic birds. Evening in the little town at the foot of the legendary mountain.
Machu Picchu: The Dawn of Your Rebirth
At dawn, before the crowds reach the gates, we will enter Machu Picchu. You will watch the sun slowly reveal the Temple of the Condor and the royal chambers. It is a time for personal meditation at one of the most powerful energy points in the world. Here you will feel infinite gratitude and a connection with the eternal. Return to Cusco on the luxury Vistadome train with its panoramic roof.
Cusco: A Day of Freedom and Integration
A day at your own pace. You can visit the craft market, treat yourself to a massage or simply read a book in one of the colonial courtyards. Cusco gives you the space simply to "be".

Across the Plateau to Raqchi
We set off deep into the Altiplano. We will visit the monumental Temple of the god Viracocha in Raqchi. Here we will stay with local families.

Under the starry Andean sky you will feel what hospitality and community really mean.
Sillustani: Towers above Lake Umayo
We travel on towards Puno. We will visit Sillustani – a mysterious necropolis with gigantic stone burial towers. The view of Lake Umayo at sunset invites reflection on transience and the eternal cycle of nature. It is the gateway to the land of the Aymara and the great waters of Lake Titicaca.
Titicaca: The Floating Uros Islands
We sail out onto the highest navigable lake in the world. We will visit the floating Uros islands, built entirely of totora reed. You will hear the story of the women who lead their daily lives on these islands while keeping their independence. Here you will feel the flexibility and softness of water, one of the aspects of femininity.
Taquile: Harmony and Tradition
A day on Taquile Island. The place is famous for its weaving and for a community that lives in complete harmony with nature. A gentle walk and the view of Bolivia's snow-capped peaks in the distance will bring you stillness. Here we will perform a ritual to close the intentions you came with, thanking Pachamama for her care and guidance.
Return to Lima and Artistic Barranco
We fly to the capital. We will spend the evening in the artistic district of Barranco. It is time for last-minute shopping for high-quality alpaca and silver goods.

Bolivia: An Expedition through
the Land of Salt, Mountains and the Amazon
The most authentic face of the Andes: From La Paz to the jungle
An expedition to Bolivia is a journey to a country where tradition and nature prevail over modernity. Our signature itinerary was created for those who want to see the most surreal landscapes in South America in premium style. As a local operator in Bolivia and Peru, we offer a unique combination of the starkness of the Andean Altiplano with the luxury of carefully chosen accommodation, including a night in a boutique hotel built of salt blocks at the foot of the Tunupa volcano.
The key point of the itinerary is the Salar de Uyuni – the largest salt desert in the world, which we will cross in modern 4x4 vehicles. Here, far from the mass-tourism routes, we discover Cactus Island (Incahuasi) and the shimmering, colourful lagoons Colorada and Verde, home to colonies of flamingos. But our journey through Bolivia is more than just mountains. We will take you to the green heart of the country – the Bolivian Amazon, where in the Beni river basin you will commune with untouched jungle nature in the comfort of eco-lodges.
In La Paz you will feel the pulse of the world's highest metropolis, travelling on the longest cable car network on the globe. We provide full Polish-speaking expert support and a precise acclimatisation plan, which is crucial when staying at altitudes above 3,600 m a.s.l. This tailor-made expedition is the essence of Bolivia: mystical, wild and unpredictable, delivered safely and with refinement by a team of professionals who live on the ground.
The Altiplano and Salar de Uyuni
You will experience an infinity of white and surreal landscapes. Our tours of Bolivia guarantee privacy while stargazing over the salt flat and a night in a unique salt hotel.
The Wild Bolivian Amazon
We change altitude, descending to the jungle. In Madidi National Park you will discover the exotic nature of Bolivia, tropical birds and jaguars, while enjoying the comfort of a professional eco-lodge.
La Paz and the History of Silver
You will learn the dark and fascinating history of Potosí and the charm of colonial Sucre. A journey through Bolivia is also an encounter with the indigenous Aymara communities and their mystical traditions.
As a Polish travel agency in Bolivia and Peru, we organise expeditions that combine the highest logistical standard with an authentic cultural experience. Our small group (6-10 people) ensures flexibility and safety on high-mountain routes. If you are looking for a premium expedition to South America that goes beyond the standard catalogues, our experience in Cusco and La Paz is your guarantee of quality.

Santa Cruz: Bolivia's Tropical Gateway
We begin in the heart of the Bolivian lowlands. Santa Cruz de la Sierra will welcome you with warm, tropical air and an energy completely different from the high Andes. It is time to recover after the flight, take a first stroll around the bustling Plaza 24 de Septiembre and get to know each other over an excellent dinner. Here you will feel the breath of a modern Bolivia looking proudly to the future.
Rurrenabaque: A Leap into the Heart of the Amazon
A short flight over the jungle takes you to Rurrenabaque – the gateway to one of the most biodiverse places in the world. After landing we transfer to a boat and head deep into the Amazon basin. The sound of cicadas, the cries of monkeys and the scent of the tropical forest will overwhelm your senses. A night in the heart of the jungle will let you connect with nature in its purest form.
Pampas: Meeting the Pink Dolphins
A boat expedition through the Bolivian pampas. Here you will see hundreds of caimans basking in the sun, capybaras and countless species of birds. The highlight of the day will be a swim with rare pink river dolphins. It is an experience that changes your perspective and teaches humility before the richness of life on Earth.
Farewell to the Amazon and return to Civilisation
A last morning in the jungle – time to watch parrots and monkeys at sunrise. After lunch we return by boat to Rurrenabaque. It is a day to wind down and let the images from deep in the forest settle in your memory before we head for the stark Altiplano plateau tomorrow. Dinner in town is a chance to swap impressions with other travellers.
La Paz: City in the Clouds
We fly to La Paz. The view from the aircraft window of a city set in a gigantic bowl is breathtaking. We land at the highest international airport in the world (El Alto). A ride on the Teleférico cable car will give you a bird's-eye view of this metropolitan anthill. It is a day for gentle acclimatisation and your first encounter with the thin Andean air.
The Witches' Market and the Valley of the Moon
We immerse ourselves in the mysticism of La Paz. We will visit the famous Witches' Market (Mercado de las Brujas), where shamans buy amulets and dried llamas. Then we head to the Valle de la Luna, where erosion has carved a landscape resembling the surface of the moon. The contrast between the bustle of the market and the silence of the rock formations will let you feel the surreal soul of Bolivia.
Titicaca: Birth of the Sun
We head for Copacabana on Lake Titicaca. We board a boat to reach the Island of the Sun (Isla del Sol). According to legend, this is where the first Incas were born. A walk along ancient paths under a cloudless sky beside the blue of the lake is a moment of absolute peace. A night on the island will let you feel the energy of this place without the tourist bustle.
Return to La Paz and a Night Journey
We return from the island to the mainland. A last look at the majestic lake and back to La Paz. In the evening we change to a luxury night bus to Uyuni (or a flight, depending on logistics). It is time to rest before the most spectacular part of the expedition. When you wake in the morning, you will see a completely different world.
Salar de Uyuni: A Sea of White
We begin a 3-day adventure by 4x4. First stop: the Train Cemetery. Then we drive onto the largest salt flat in the world – the Salar de Uyuni. 10,000 km² of perfect white. We will visit Incahuasi Island, covered in giant cacti. We will spend the night in a hotel built entirely of salt blocks – an experience unique in the world.
Salar de Uyuni: Mirror of the Universe
The second day on the Salar is a time to play with perspective and to look for the perfect mirror reflection of the sky in a thin layer of water (depending on the season). Lunch in the middle of the salt desert, far from everything, tastes like nothing else. In the evening we admire a sunset that paints the white salt in violets and pinks. Here you will feel the infinity of the universe.
Laguna Colorada and Flamingos
We continue south, towards the Chilean border. We will see the blood-red Laguna Colorada, where thousands of flamingos wade in mineral-rich waters. We will cross the Siloli Desert and stand beside the Stone Tree (Arbol de Piedra). This is a stark, high-altitude landscape of the kind that inspired Salvador Dalí's surreal visions.
Sol de Mañana Geysers and Hot Springs
A pre-dawn start to reach the Sol de Mañana geysers (4,850 m a.s.l.) when the steaming earth looks its most spectacular. The reward for the early start is a soak in the natural Polques hot springs under the Andean sky. Then we will see Laguna Verde at the foot of the Licancabur volcano. In the afternoon, return to the town of Uyuni and a well-deserved rest.
Return to La Paz and Last Shopping
Flight from Uyuni to La Paz. This is your last day in the capital. Time to buy souvenirs – alpaca sweaters, silver jewellery or unique handicrafts. In the evening we meet for a gala farewell dinner to look back on 14 days that changed the way we see the world. Bolivia stays in the heart forever.
Farewell to the Roof of the World
Transfer to El Alto airport and return flight home. You leave behind the stark peaks of the Andes and the humid Amazon jungle, but you take with you hundreds of photos and memories no one can take away. Your Bolivian odyssey is coming to an end, but it is the beginning of your new passion for South America.
Bolivia is waiting for you

This 19-day expedition leads from the Pacific coast, through mystical Cusco and the Sacred Valley of the Incas, to the highest navigable lake in the world – Titicaca – and the endless white of the Salar de Uyuni. As a local operator in Cusco and La Paz, we directly supervise every stage of this demanding but extremely rewarding route.
In Peru we focus on the heritage of the Inca civilisation, offering an exclusive visit to Machu Picchu and lesser-known architectural gems such as Sacsayhuamán. With us you will experience a European standard of care in Peru that combines safety with deep knowledge of the region. Once we cross into Bolivia, the character of the expedition turns into a surreal adventure. We will cross the Altiplano in private 4x4 vehicles, reaching colourful lagoons full of flamingos and the El Tatio geysers, ending with a night in a luxury property at the foot of the Tunupa volcano.
This is a tailor-made journey in which attention to detail – such as choosing the best restaurants in Lima or ensuring optimal acclimatisation – is the priority. Our small group (maximum 10 people) allows a unique experience of the authenticity of both countries, unhurried and in complete comfort. With us you will discover all the dimensions of the Andes: from luxury panoramic trains to the stark beauty of the Bolivian desert.
The Historical Dimension
You discover the secrets of Peru – from colonial Lima to Inca Cusco. This stage is steeped in culture, cuisine of the highest order and the luxury of boutique hotels hidden within the walls of former monasteries.
The Mystical Dimension
We cross the border on Lake Titicaca. A journey to Bolivia means an encounter with the traditions of the Aymara people, a visit to mystical Tiwanaku and a night amid the sound of the waves of the world's highest lake.
The Dimension of Space
The finale on the Salar de Uyuni. Exploration of the most isolated corners of Bolivia. Our tours of South America always end on a high note that stays in the memory for a lifetime.

Landing in the City of Kings
It all begins on the Pacific. Lima will welcome you with the luxury of the Miraflores district and the sound of the ocean breaking against high cliffs. After a private transfer and a welcome Pisco Sour toast, you will immerse yourself in a world where colonial history meets modernity. It is time to acclimatise and to have your first taste of the cuisine that has made Peru the gastronomic heart of the world.
Cusco: Capital of the Empire of the Sun
We fly over the snow-capped ridges of the Andes to land in the heart of the Inca universe. Cusco, at 3,400 m above sea level, smells of eucalyptus and of history carved in stone. Walking the cobbled streets of San Blas, you will feel beneath your fingers the precision of walls untouched by the centuries. It is a day for easing gently into the Andean energy over a cup of coca leaf tea.
The Sacred Valley: Maras and Moray
We descend deep into the Valle Sagrado, where time flows to the rhythm of the Urubamba river. You will see the Salinas de Maras – thousands of salt pools shimmering like white gold. A moment later you will stand above the hypnotic circles of Moray, a centuries-old Inca agricultural laboratory. We end the day in Ollantaytambo, the only living Inca town, preparing to meet the legend.
Abra Malaga: From the clouds straight to the Tropics
This is a day for freedom seekers. From a freezing pass (4,230 m a.s.l.) we set off downhill by bike – a spectacular 60-kilometre route on which you will feel the icy mountain air turn into the humid, jungle-scented breath of the tropics. The finale is a workshop on a cocoa plantation, where you will follow the bean's journey from bush to the noblest Cacao Chuncho chocolate.
Mandor Waterfalls and the Road to Machu Picchu
A trek through the high jungle along the railway line, in the footsteps of the first explorers. Along the way we discover the Mandor waterfalls hidden in lush vegetation and coffee plantations. It is a time for stillness and calm before tomorrow's climax of the expedition, when you will stand at the foot of the most coveted place on the world map.
Machu Picchu: Dawn in the Lost City
At dawn, before the crowds arrive, you will stand face to face with the architectural genius of the Incas. Machu Picchu wrapped in morning mist is a sight that stays in the heart forever. Our expert will guide you through the royal chambers and temples, revealing a history you will never forget. The return on the luxury Vistadome train with its panoramic roof is a pure celebration of your dream.
Sacsayhuaman and the Temple of the Sun
We discover Coricancha – the most important sanctuary of the Empire, whose walls once gleamed with gold. Then we will stand beneath the gigantic walls of Sacsayhuaman, where boulders weighing hundreds of tonnes were fitted together with millimetre precision. Here you will feel the true majesty and power of the ancient kings of the Andes.
Cusco: A free day to soak up the magic
Time for your own pace. You can tuck yourself away in an atmospheric wine bar overlooking the Plaza de Armas, visit local boutiques selling alpaca goods, or simply soak up the atmosphere of Cusco from the steps of the baroque cathedral. It is a day to recharge and quietly let the impressions so far settle in your heart before the leap towards Bolivia.
Palcoyo and a Night with a Quechua Family
Instead of commercial Vinicunca, we will take you to Palcoyo. Three rainbow mountains without rush or queues. We will crown the day with authenticity: a night with a Quechua family in Raqchi. A shared dinner cooked over the fire and stories under the Andean sky is the moment you stop being a tourist and become a guest of Pachamama.
Sillustani: Necropolis above Lake Umayo
We set off towards Puno. We will visit Sillustani – a mysterious necropolis with gigantic stone chullpas (burial towers). The view of Lake Umayo at sunset, surrounded by the stark mountains of the Altiplano, creates a mystical atmosphere that will prepare you for your encounter with the world's highest navigable lake.
Titicaca and the Island of the Sun: Birth of an Empire
We cross the border into Bolivia. We will sail out onto the waters of Lake Titicaca to reach the legendary Island of the Sun. According to belief, this is where the first Incas were born. A walk along ancient paths with views of the snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Real is an experience that touches the soul and teaches humility before the great water.
La Paz: Flying over the world's highest capital
A spectacular arrival in La Paz by the Teleférico cable car. Beneath your feet stretches the gigantic brick amphitheatre of a city suspended in the clouds. We will visit the Witches' Market and the surreal Valley of the Moon, whose rock formations resemble landscapes from another planet. This is a city that defies gravity.
Uyuni: Entering infinite white
We fly to Uyuni to begin a 3-day adventure by 4x4. First the Train Cemetery, a nostalgic relic of the silver era, and then onto the Salar de Uyuni – 10,000 km² of immaculate white salt. We will spend the night in a unique hotel built entirely of salt, in the heart of one of the most unreal places on the globe.
Salar de Uyuni: Mirror of the Universe
A day that defies logic. We explore Incahuasi Island with its giant cacti rising out of a sea of salt. Sunset on the Salar, when sky and earth merge into one great mirror, is the moment you lose all sense of gravity and time. It is the most photogenic and stunning place you can visit on our planet.
Laguna Colorada and the World of Flamingos
A journey through the Stone Forest straight to the blood-red Laguna Colorada. You will see thousands of flamingos wading in the shallow waters against a backdrop of majestic Andean volcanoes. This is the stark, wild world of the Altiplano, which teaches humility before the power of nature. The desert landscapes named after Salvador Dalí are now within arm's reach.
Chile and the Stardust of the Atacama
We leave Bolivia and enter Chile. San Pedro de Atacama is an oasis in the driest desert in the world. In the evening a professional astronomy tour awaits – the starry sky here is so clear that you can almost touch the Milky Way. You will see the rings of Saturn through telescopes others only dream of.
Valley of the Moon: Sunset at the end of the world
We explore the Valle de la Luna. At sunset the wind-carved salt and sand formations take on shades of purple and gold. It is a spectacle of light that makes you feel like the first explorer on an alien planet. In the evening, a last look at the Atacama Desert, which will fill your eyes with the beauty of raw form.
Santiago de Chile: The Pulse of a Metropolis
Flight to Santiago. Time for a walk through the historic centre, a visit to the colourful Bellavista district and a tasting of superb Chilean wines in one of the atmospheric wine bars. The city at the foot of mighty snow-capped peaks pulses with modernity, the perfect contrast to the starkness of the Altiplano you have just left behind.
Farewell to South America
Transfer to the airport and flight home. You return richer in memories others can only dream of. You have crossed the Andes in all their dimensions – from the ocean, through jungle and salt flats, to the desert dust of the Atacama. Your great loop has come to an end, but this journey will stay with you for life.
Are you ready for the story of your life?
This is the most comprehensive expedition we offer. 19 days, two countries and an endless range of emotions. From the luxury of private transfers to the stark beauty of the Bolivian deserts.

Peru, Bolivia and Chile:
Land of Sun and Salt
A journey through three worlds: From the Incas to the Atacama Desert
This exclusive expedition to Peru, Bolivia and Chile is for people who are not looking for compromises. The route has been designed so that each day escalates the experience. We begin in Peru, where, guided by a Polish-speaking guide in Cusco, we discover the foundations of the Inca empire. We do not limit ourselves to Machu Picchu – we will take you to places where time has stood still, while providing stays in luxury boutique hotels that are works of art in themselves.
The real adventure begins after crossing the border into Bolivia. The Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt desert in the world, is a place where the horizon blurs into the sky. Our expeditions include a private 4x4 crossing through the middle of the salt flat, far from the tourist crowds. We provide the unique experience of a night in a hotel built entirely of salt blocks – the quintessence of premium travel in South America.
The finale of the expedition is Chile and San Pedro de Atacama. Here, in the driest desert in the world, we will watch the stars in a crystal-clear sky and admire the power of the El Tatio geysers at dawn. Our small groups (maximum 10 people) allow for a flexibility and intimacy impossible to achieve in mass tourism. Every detail – from fine cuisine to professional acclimatisation – is under our direct control.
Stage 1: Peru
Cusco, the Sacred Valley of the Incas and Machu Picchu. We focus on comfort and history, easing you gently into the Andean climate. It is a time for tasting ceviche and learning the secrets of Inca architecture.
Stage 2: Bolivia
La Paz, Lake Titicaca and the surreal Salar de Uyuni. This is the most photogenic stage of the expedition. An expedition to Bolivia means the starkness of the Altiplano softened by the luxury of private services.
Stage 3: Chile
The Atacama Desert – from geysers to moon valleys. We end the expedition in Chile, offering relaxation in hot springs and a luxury base in San Pedro, ideal for rounding off the great Andean loop.
As a local operator in Peru, we guarantee the authenticity of every experience. Our expeditions to Peru, Bolivia and Chile combine the adventure of a lifetime with the security that comes from having our own office on the ground in Cusco. By booking with us, you support local communities and can be sure that your dream journey will be delivered without intermediaries and to the highest standard.
