Let’s do Peru right. The Sisterhood Travels way.
Not just the bucket list moments, but everything that makes this place unforgettable. The train ride through the Andes, the first glimpse of Machu Picchu, the stillness of Lake Titicaca, and the unexpected moments in between that stay with you long after you’re home.
This women-only Peru tour takes you deep into the heart of the country, from the energy of Lima to the Sacred Valley, the ancient ruins of the Inca Empire, and the cultures that continue to thrive here today. It’s a journey through Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, and beyond that feels both powerful and personal.
Along the way, it’s not just what we see, it’s how it all comes together. The places, the people, the laughter, the moments you didn’t plan for but wouldn’t trade.
If Peru has been on your list, this is the way to do it. Grab your spot – space is limited.
You’ve arrived in Lima, and just like that, Peru is underway. After settling into our hotel, the rest of the day is yours to relax, reset, and ease into a completely different rhythm. Maybe that means a quiet dinner, a walk through the neighborhood, or simply taking a moment to let it all sink in. No plans, no pressure. Just a soft landing before everything begins. (No meals are included today)

A visit to the Casa de Aliaga offers a rare glimpse into centuries of history still lived within its walls, where colonial and modern Lima seem to exist side by side. The afternoon opens up for free time with your Sisters, before we come together for a Welcome Dinner of thoughtfully prepared Peruvian cuisine, a vibrant atmosphere, and the kind of evening where the conversation flows as easily as the wine.

Through shared moments and hands-on workshops, we gain insight into farming, weaving, and the rhythms of the land, all while supporting a community where tourism plays a meaningful role in sustaining their way of life.

Today is one of those days you’ve been thinking about for a long time. We’ll board our train and make our way through the Andes, where the scenery outside the windows keeps getting better as we get closer to Machu Picchu. Hidden among mountains and jungle, Machu Picchu is every bit as breathtaking as you imagine. With our guide, we explore the ruins, uncovering the stories, the mystery, and the sheer brilliance of what was built here so long ago. Tonight, we’ll stay at the base of Machu Picchu, giving us time to really take it in without rushing the moment.

Wander a little further, revisit a favorite spot, or simply pause and appreciate where you are. Later, we’ll board our train and make our way back through the Andes, returning to the Sacred Valley before continuing on to Cuzco.

This afternoon, you have a choice in how you experience more of the city. You can head above Cuzco to explore the impressive ruins of Sacsayhuamán, where massive stonework and sweeping views make it well worth the climb. Or, you can stay closer to the streets and dive into the hidden corners of the city on a walking tour that reveals a more local, off-the-beaten-path side of Cuzco. (Breakfast and Dinner included)

From there, we’ll continue into a rural village for a home-hosted meal, sharing stories and spending time with local families in a setting that feels genuine and welcoming. Our day continues at the Chullpas de Sillustani, where ancient funerary towers stand quietly overlooking the landscape, adding one more layer of history to an already meaningful day.

ARRIVALS & DEPARTURES
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
GRATUITIES, TRAVEL INSURANCE & OPTIONAL EXPENSES
GENERAL
This is a busy and fast-paced tour designed for travelers who are comfortable with full days of sightseeing, extended walking, and the physical demands of high-altitude destinations. The itinerary includes multiple early morning departures, varied terrain, and several days spent at elevations above 11,000 feet. A good level of stamina, balance, and overall mobility is important to fully enjoy this experience.
Walking and Standing
This is an active tour that includes frequent walking tours lasting more than 3 hours at a time, often covering 3 or more miles at a steady pace. Many sightseeing days involve extended periods of standing, walking through historic sites, and exploring large archaeological areas such as Machu Picchu and Ollantaytambo. Daily activities are immersive and can be physically demanding, particularly when combined with altitude.
Terrain, Transport and Accommodations
Travelers should expect a variety of terrain, including uneven stone pathways, steps without handrails, and natural surfaces such as dirt paths and rugged ground. Historic areas and archaeological sites often require careful footing and good mobility. Hotels outside of Lima are typically smaller properties without elevators, requiring guests to navigate approximately 10 to 15 steps to access rooms. This itinerary also includes multiple internal flights, train journeys, and longer touring days, along with several early morning departures tied to transportation schedules.
Altitude Considerations
This journey takes place at high elevations for multiple consecutive days. The highest elevation reached is approximately 12,500 feet (3,810 meters) in Puno, with several days spent around 11,000 feet (3,353 meters). Extended exposure to high altitude may result in symptoms such as headache, fatigue, nausea, or dizziness. Travelers should be in good health and consult their physician prior to travel for guidance on managing altitude. In more severe cases, most hotels are equipped with oxygen to assist guests.
