Important Points

During the author's trips, we always plan the time as it is convenient for us. I never drive anyone away and I don’t put in a time frame when people do not have time to take photos or enjoy this or that city. Together we decide how much time to spend on a particular attraction. The purpose of my trips is to create a friendly atmosphere within the team. Who wants to can always walk separately, but in most cases we rest together as a group, walk, eat - it will never be boring, even if you travel alone! On each trip, I make a selection of the cheapest, but rated cafes with good reviews to minimize the cost of food, but still taste the most delicious dishes. During the trip, I do not focus on historical references, but on how the country functions from the inside: we learn to use public transport, communicate with residents, learn the language and learn the traditions of the state. The program includes interactive game by commands, during which the participants of the trip will learn Interesting Facts about the country and its culture. For general convenience, the group has a shared taxi budget, which we use when needed to save time or make transfers easier.

NB! Dates of stay in cities can change plus or minus if the prices for flights vary greatly.

Travel program

main impressions

Lima - Paracas

Arrive in Lima - the capital of Peru, from where all routes in this country invariably begin.

And although the architecture of the capital is unlikely to impress a sophisticated traveler, there are still places to go: for example, to a chic evening fountain show, to the gold museum or the museum of Inca antiquities.

Then head to the town of Paracas. Here we will book for you a boat tour of the Bayestas Islands, where there are colonies of sea lions and numerous birds.

Then transfer to the minibus for another tour of the Paracas National Park. The yellow sandy cliffs and red beaches here contrast unrealistically with the green water of the Pacific Ocean.

Swim in a quiet ocean bay , and then drive off to your next destination, Nasca.

Nazca - Cusco

In the morning, a driver will pick you up and take you to the airport, where you can load into a small airplane (do not forget to take a pill for motion sickness!) and take off over the mysterious Nazca lines.

But that's not all there is in Nazca! Have lunch and get into the buggy - a desert all-terrain vehicle. You will be shown ancient aqueducts, a pyramid of the pre-Inca era and, finally, high sand dunes, from which you can go down on a sandboard! This is actually one of the most vivid and emotional adventures of the whole trip. In a cheerful company, emotions just go wild.

Stroll through the ancient streets of this unusual city, which has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The main feature of Cusco is its architecture: Spanish colonial buildings are built on the foundations of ancient Inca temples. Yes, and here it is literally breathtaking: the city is located at an altitude of 3400 meters!

Sacred Valley of the Incas - Machu Picchu - Cusco

Get in the minibus and drive to Ollantaytambo, an ancient Inca settlement located in the Sacred Valley. Climb to the top of this ancient fortress and marvel at the strange shapes and fantastic fit of the huge stones that make it up.

And then jump on the train and go to Machu Picchu. Meet the dawn of the next day already at its top - maybe in an embrace with funny llamas.

But that mountain behind the ruins is called Wayna Picchu. And if such a passion for knowledge has seized you, then it’s a sin not to get there, although this work is sweaty and sometimes difficult.

Cusco - Puno

Well, enough of the Inca ruins. Let's go to the shores of Lake Titicaca! Along the way, you will visit the oldest colonial church in Peru, Andahuaililuas. The frescoes on the walls of this church cause very mixed reactions (often smiles) even among the most seasoned tourists, including me. It’s just that it’s strictly forbidden to take pictures of them - but it’s a pity!

Also stop by the temple of the god Viracocha near Rakchi, and take a selfie on one of the highest passes in Peru.

Say goodbye to Peru - you have already seen the most famous here, and go to La Paz - the actual capital of Bolivia. For some reason, this absolutely insane city leaves something in your memory that makes your lips fold into a smile. Go to the witch market, which sells the most unimaginable things such as dried llama embryos, buy colorful knitted scarves and hats at ridiculous prices.

death road

Well, who has not heard about this exciting adventure? To visit Bolivia and not go down the Death Road on a bike from an altitude of 4700 to 1200 meters above sea level is like flying to Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower. A fitting end to a wonderful trip!

jeep safari in the deserts of Uyuni

Someone thinks that one day is enough to visit the largest salt marsh in the world. And this is true: in one very busy day you will see a cemetery of old steam locomotives, and a psychedelic island with 9-meter cacti in the middle of a white desert, and the salt marsh itself with mosaic patterns made of rock-hard salt crystals. But outside of the salt marsh, Bolivia hides a lot, a LOT of unreal, surreal landscapes.

Altiplano

The safari continues: the heroes of today are the semi-active volcano Oyagu, surrounded by lava fields of absolutely unimaginable shapes, and black and white lakes with flamingo colonies.

After lunch - the desert of Salvador Dali, in which there is a stone tree (hurry up, it is destroyed every year!); a few more lakes with flamingos and Laguna Colorada - a large lake that changes color depending on the season from brick red to yellow-gray.

Altiplano

In the morning you will visit the Sol de Magna geyser, the highest point of the route - almost 5000 meters above sea level. The feeling of being on Mars. Here, between the soaring fumaroles, no one forbids walking yet, looking into their dark depths.

And then - crossing the border into Chile!

Santiago and Valparaiso

Back to civilization! Walk along the modern streets of the capital of Chile, go to the fish market to eat eel or crabs. Take a trip to the port city of Valparaiso, one of the favorite places of the poet Pablo Neruda, a city of funiculars and artistic graffiti on the walls of pretty houses.

Departure: March 31, 2018 (there are 2 people); 15 days / 14 nights
Lima - Cusco - Machu Picchu - Cusco - Puno - Lake Titicaca - Lima - Santiago - Balmaceda - Puerto Chacabuco - glaciers of the San Rafael Lagoon - Aiken del Sur Park - Lake. General de Carrera - Marble Cathedrals - Puerto Chacabuco - Balmaceda - Santiago
We invite you to visit two attractive and unique places in South America: the mysterious Inca city of Machu Picchu in Peru and Chilean Patagonia. You will feel like pioneers when you see glaciers and iceberg falls up close, rocks that have kept their secrets for millions of years, protected forests with giant ferns, turquoise lakes and marble caves.
