B&R’s newest way to travel! This itinerary is one of our new locally-supported, private trips. They use the hallmarks that we’re known for: great hotels, friendly and talented local guides plus memorable experiences but it’s just your group and on the dates that work best for you.*

On this incredible adventure, you’ll explore the former Incan capital of Cuzco, along with colonial Spanish art and architecture throughout the valley, and of course, the ancient Incan sites from the fantastic ruins of Pisca to the magnificent Sun Gate at Machu Picchu. Along the way, you’ll meet interesting people: from a traditional Peruvian hat maker to a tile maker and charming fabric weavers. All tours and hikes are lead by local experts. Depending upon your exact dates, we can craft an itinerary to include some of the many festivals and processions which take place throughout the Christmas and Easter seasons.
