Lima - Peru
Welcome to South America! Transport from airport to hotel. Rest!
You bet a good Pisco Sour (Peruvian drink) will sooth the nerves.
2nd
Lima / Cusco / Sacred Valley
After an early breakfast we catch a flight to Cusco and from there we immediately go to Sacred Valley. Cusco is at a height of 3200mts and Sacred Valley at 2900mts. That’s the reason why we prefer to reach Sacred valley immediately so that we can get used to the lowered oxygen levels.
En route to the Sacred Valley of the Incas we tour by the traditional town of Chincheros and the ruins of Ollantaytambo, a well preserved, Inca site in the Urubamba Valley. Lunch is included
(1breakfast, 1 box lunch)
3rd
Machu Picchu
In the morning, transfer to the train station and board the train for a journey to the fabled 'Lost City of the Incas' arguably the most important archaeological site in South America. The Machu Picchu Citadel was built by the Incas as a favored retreat for Inca nobility, and remarkably until 1911, it lay hidden from the world amongst dense jungle covered mountains. Following a guided tour of the ruins, enjoy lunch and afternoon return to Cusco.

El Calafate
Full day excursion of Perito Moreno Glacier
This place is truly spectacular. Its estimated to be 30,000 years old with an area of 192km². The front wall is 5km long and it peaks of up to 80meters. The deep blue base is almost as dark as the water that surrounds it. The silence can be suddenly interrupted by the tremendous sounds of the breaking of the ice from the glacier and fall into the lake.
This nautical safari showcase the immensity of planet earth and how small but important we are to this delicate ecosystem. Eye-opener indeed!

Now that we have had a birds-eye view, why don't we get closer? Explore by foot the whole Brazilian side of the falls. The sheer energy will give you goose bumps.
Near enough......I guess we can get a bit closer. Anyone for a raft ride down the river to the falls? Ok....let's go. Be prepared to get wet……soaked rather! This will be etched in your memory forever!

Just one side of the island is accessible by vehicles. To get to the other side there is a raft ride and a 4x4 Land Rover trek cutting through the Atlantic forest, on the way back. Guaranteed fun!

Rio
After breakfast……..guys tighten your belts coz, we gonna hang glide over Copacabana today.
This truly is one of the most beautiful experiences of Rio you can have.
This is optional and for those easy going guys we have tons of other options like going to the center of Rio and getting to know the day to day lives of `cariocas´ (people from Rio are called Cariocas), or visit beautiful botanical gardens, museums or the local theater which has amazing colonial architecture. One great place to visit is the Botanical Gardens of Rio. Few places in the world boast of a tropical rain forest right in the middle of the city
We have all options for lunch ….like street food (Acaraje is our favorite! Its basically Brazilian vada), or any of the umpteen number of restaurants that offer the whole range of Brazilian and international cuisine.
Nothing like relaxing on Ipanema after lunch.
Head back to the hotel by 6pm coz, the nights young! Freshen up. Wear your Latin lover t-shirts and lets hit the night at Rio Scenario. One of the 100 places to visit in the world according to CNN.
