Desert & Machu Picchu Tour of Peru for Young Travellers
Instead of choosing between desert oasis adventure, islands teeming with wildlife and historical ruins in the Andes, get it all on this 11-day tour of Peru, from Lima to Cusco.
Kicking off from Lima, you’ll feast on fresh seafood and cruise around on dune buggies at a desert oasis before heading up to the mountains where ruins, hikes, and outrageous scenery await. In Cusco, you’ll get an insider’s tour of the city and then head out to visit some lesser-known highlights of the Sacred Valley, all leading up to the big moment of seeing Machu Picchu for the very first time. Then descend back into Cusco for one more day exploring the city.
