The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Stand inside the Lost City of the Incas on an immersive private overnight adventure — scenic train, expert archaeologist guide, and a luxury lodge at the foot of the citadel. The single most iconic thing you can do in all of South America.
Journey through the heartland of the Inca Empire in a private vehicle — clifftop agricultural terraces at Pisac, an artisan market overflowing with colour, and the towering fortress of Ollantaytambo. The Sacred Valley in a single, perfectly curated day.
Walk the colossal limestone ramparts of Sacsayhuamán — stones weighing 300 tonnes fitted with razor precision — then descend to Qorikancha, the golden Temple of the Sun, its walls once sheathed in 700 solid-gold panels. Inca civilisation at its most staggering.
Hike to one of the world's most surreal natural wonders — a Himalayan-scale ridge stripped in bands of crimson, gold, jade, and violet by millennia of mineral deposits. A genuine high-altitude adventure that rewards with views that defy photography.
Clip onto steel rungs and traverse a sheer Andean cliff face above the Sacred Valley — part rock climbing, part hiking, entirely exhilarating. The most dramatic adrenaline experience the Cusco region offers, with valley views that stop your breath.
Plunge into the aromatic chaos of Mercado San Pedro with a local chef guide, taste your way through Andean superfoods and street bites, then cook and eat a private lunch of Novoandino cuisine in a colonial kitchen. Cusco's culture told entirely through flavour.
