Paracas: Mother nature has her favourites, and the Paracas National Reserve is one of them. We'll take a tour of this protected natural area guilded with deserts, islands and the beautiful blue ocean.
Lima: Wondering how we'll get around Peru? We'll be using the Peru Hop Bus Network AKA the best way to see Peru like a local. You'll travel on comfy coaches with reclining seats & blankets, aircon, and onboard toilets (plus, a chance to meet travellers outside of your Contiki crew too!).
Huacachina: Wanna see the magic behind Peru's national drink? This is your chance! We'll spend the afternoon touring a vineyard that produces the juiciest & freshest grapes, learning about its history, and sampling the drink too!
Nazca: Climbing up 43 ft in the sky, you'll see the fascinating group of geoglyphs called the Nazca Lines from a (really) tall tower. Think: desert artwork of spiders, spirals and a mysterious astronaut-like human.
Lima: Tonight, you'll travel in an overnight coach with 1st class tickets. Soft & comfy beds. Good times with your crew. Coach rides don't get more amazing than this.
What if your road trip to Machu Picchu offered more than just a hike? The “Lima to Machu Picchu Road Trip” spans 11 days and delivers a thrilling blend of adventure and culture. Begin in Lima and journey through the surreal Nazca Lines, sandboard the dunes of Huacachina, and explore Arequipa before reaching the heights of Cusco. Along the way, meet locals at Lake Titicaca, tour a Pisco vineyard, and feast on authentic Peruvian cuisine. Tailored for young adults, this tour features city sightseeing, hands-on experiences, and the bucket-list trek to Machu Picchu. The unique advantage: A dynamic route that fuses classic highlights with offbeat, adrenaline-fueled adventures.
It was an amazing adventure, met amazing people and have epic memories to last a lifetime!
The activities were all jam packed and amazing, everyone loved it. The only issue was the Peru hop transportation as the lack of a private bus took away the magic of travelling together.
My first Contiki experience! It was overall amazing. I had a great group and trip leader. The places we visited were all amazing and I felt like I really got to see all of the country in a short time. Just make sure you know it’s a road trip, so lots of busses and lots of early mornings. Be aware of altitude sickness and come prepared!
I would definitely recommend this trip for those who are seeking adventure! Each day we say different cities and sites (Huacachina Desert, Nazca Lines, Arequipa, Puno/Lake Titicaca, Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain), which are totally the experiences. The only downsides of the trip were the overnight bus due to its discomfort of trying to rest as well as the bumpy roads whenever I had to use the toilet on the bus. Also, make sure to bring enough medical supplements with you and buy enough coca supplements (mints, candies, leaves, tea) to adjust to the altitude or any higher elevations! I did get some headaches and dizziness, but that's kinda normal and to be expected.
