Day 1 Guests who have booked this extension in addition to the fly-cruise package on cruise W1803 will depart from London on a flight to Lima.

Guests who have booked this extension in addition to the cruise only package on cruise W1803 will need to arrange their own flight and transfer.
Day 2 An early start begins with a transfer to the airport for your flight to Cusco. Upon arrival, you’ll be taken out to lunch before continuing on to your hotel, Casa Andina Sacred Valley. The afternoon will be at your leisure, allowing time to acclimatise to the altitude before your evening meal.
Day 3 Your guide will take you to the Andean Village of Chincheros. During this morning tour you will meet with the local Quechua-speaking farmers and weavers. This rare experience offers insight into a more traditional way of life, from wood-fired, mud- brick stove cooking methods and age-old agricultural techniques, to textile demonstrations. Lunch will be hosted by the Orihuelas family at Hacienda Huayoccari, where you’ll be able to view their private collection of artefacts. In the afternoon, you’ll journey through the valley to the fortress of Ollantaytambo, where an inhabited Incan town can still be found today. After a fulfilling day exploring, you’ll return to your hotel for dinner.

On your return you’ll be provided with a box dinner. A bus transfer will complete your journey from Ollantaytambo to Cusco and the Libertador Palacio del Inka hotel. Your luggage will be waiting for you here.
Day 5 A morning city tour of Cusco will begin with the Sacsayhuaman fortress – a true testimonial to Incan architectural expertise. Its strategic, hill-top location provides excellent views over the city and surrounding countryside. A visit to the sacred site of Koricancha (Temple of the Sun) and the Baroque- style cathedral will follow. Returning to the hotel for lunch, the remainder of the afternoon will be at your leisure.
