The Total Peru Package: Cities, Deserts & Inca Ruins

No traveller should ever have to choose between exploring Peru’s coastal desert or adventuring to Machu Picchu, so we created this 11-day, hostel-based tour to help the world out. Kicking off from Lima, you’ll feast on fresh seafood and cruise around on dune buggies at a desert oasis before heading up to the mountains where ruins, hikes, and outrageous scenery await. In Cusco, you’ll get an insider’s tour of the city and then head out to visit some lesser-known highlights of the Sacred Valley, all leading up to the big moment of seeing Machu Picchu for the very first time.

Travelers often feel forced to choose between Peru's desert coast and its Andean highlands. This trip is for those who want both. Instead of a mountain-only itinerary focused solely on Cusco and the Inca Trail, this tour adds a significant coastal and desert adventure, including dune buggies and the Ballestas Islands, before heading to the Andes.
