Presented by Jhimy Sante, Your Local Expert

This journey was created to reveal how beautifully Peru shifts—geographically, culturally, and spiritually. We begin with raw coastal beauty: A scenic flight over the Nazca Lines, marine life encounters at the Ballestas Islands, and the golden dunes of Huacachina. Then we head into the Andes, where the energy of Cusco and the Sacred Valley pulls you closer to Peru’s ancient soul. After standing in awe before Machu Picchu, the adventure continues to the turquoise serenity of Humantay Lake and the surreal colors of Rainbow Mountain.
