Planning a trip to Peru sounds exciting—until you actually start planning it. Suddenly, you’re juggling altitude concerns, dozens of tour options, and trying to figure out whether you’re more of a “hike up a mountain at sunrise” person or a “sip coffee with a mountain view” traveler.
And then there’s the big one: Machu Picchu, a destination that somehow manages to exceed even the highest expectations. So how do you choose the right experience?
The truth is, the best way to explore Peru is through a thoughtfully designed itinerary that blends culture, scenery, and just the right level of adventure. That’s where curated travel packages come in.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through three incredible Peru travel packages, each offering a different way to experience the Andes—from high-altitude adventures to relaxed cultural journeys and scenic escapes. No matter your travel style, there’s an option that fits your travel itinerary perfectly.
1. The Ultimate Adventure: Machu Picchu + Humantay Lagoon by Sky Camp
If you’ve ever dreamed of a trip that feels like stepping into a nature documentary (but with better snacks), this is it.
The Viagens Machu Picchu Adventurer package with Humantay Lagoon and Sky Camp is designed for travelers who want more than just sightseeing—they want an experience that challenges, inspires, and rewards.
Over the course of several days, you’ll explore Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu, but the real highlight is the Salkantay trekking route, one of the most scenic alternatives to the Inca Trail.
Why This Package Stands Out
Let’s start with the obvious: the landscapes are unreal. One day, you’re hiking toward Humantay Lake, a brilliant turquoise lake tucked beneath snow-covered peaks.
Next, you’re crossing high mountain passes with panoramic views that make every step worth it. And then there’s the Sky Camp experience—arguably one of the most memorable overnight stays in Peru.
Instead of a standard hotel, you’ll sleep in a transparent dome called glamping, set high in the Andes, where you can watch the stars without even leaving your bed. It’s equal parts adventure and magic.
What You’ll Experience
- A guided trek through the breathtaking Salkantay route
- A visit to the iconic Humantay Lake
- A night in the famous Sky Camp domes
- Exploration of Machu Picchu after an unforgettable journey
- Additional highlights like Rainbow Mountain (depending on itinerary)
This isn’t a “tick-the-box” trip. It’s the kind of journey where every day feels earned—and every view feels like a reward.
Who It’s Perfect For
- Travelers who love hiking and outdoor adventure
- Those looking for a deeper, more immersive experience
- Anyone who wants a truly unforgettable story to tell
Be prepared: this trip will challenge you a little, but that’s exactly what makes it so rewarding.
2. A Cultural Journey: Sacred Valley Experiences
Not every great trip needs to involve hiking boots and early wake-up calls.
If your ideal vacation leans more toward meaningful experiences, local culture, and a relaxed pace, the Sacred Valley Experiences package offers a completely different—but equally enriching—way to discover Peru.
The Sacred Valley Significance
The Sacred Valley isn’t just a beautiful place—it’s a living piece of history. Once the heart of the Inca Empire, this region is filled with ancient agricultural terraces, traditional villages, and archaeological sites that have stood the test of time.
But what really makes it special is that it’s still alive with culture. Here, you don’t just observe history—you interact with it.
Highlights of the Experience
This package is carefully designed to immerse you in the culture and traditions of the Andes while keeping things comfortable and enjoyable.
You’ll visit:
- Pisac, famous for its impressive terraces and vibrant artisan market
- Ollantaytambo, one of the best-preserved Inca towns still inhabited today
- Local communities where traditional weaving and craftsmanship are still practiced, such as Chinchero.
You’ll also have the chance to learn about Andean traditions, symbolism, and daily life—something that’s often missing from more fast-paced itineraries.
What Makes It Different
- A slower, more relaxed travel pace
- A strong focus on cultural immersion
- Authentic interactions with local communities
- Comfortable accommodations and easy logistics
This is the kind of trip where you can take your time, ask questions, and truly connect with the destination.
Who It’s Perfect For
- First-time visitors to Peru
- Culture and history enthusiasts
- Travelers who prefer comfort over physical challenges
If you want to leave Peru with more than just photos—if you want understanding and connection—this experience delivers exactly that.
3. Scenic Comfort: Waking Up in the Inca Empire
Somewhere between high-energy adventure and laid-back cultural exploration lies the perfect middle ground.
The Waking Up in the Inca Empire: Mountain View Experience is ideal for travelers who want to explore Peru’s highlights while still enjoying comfort, beautiful accommodations, and a well-paced itinerary.
What Makes This Package Special
The clue is in the name: this experience is all about the feeling of being surrounded by the Andes. Imagine waking up to panoramic mountain views, breathing in crisp high-altitude air, and starting your day without rushing.
It’s a calmer, more refined way to explore one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes. You’ll still visit major highlights like Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley—but without the intensity of a trekking itinerary.
What You Can Expect
- Carefully selected accommodations with stunning views
- A balanced itinerary that mixes exploration and relaxation
- Smooth, well-organized transportation and logistics
- Plenty of time to enjoy each destination without feeling rushed
This package focuses on quality over quantity, ensuring every moment feels enjoyable rather than exhausting.
Who It’s Perfect For
- Couples and honeymooners
- Travelers looking for comfort and scenic beauty
- Anyone who wants a stress-free experience
It’s the ideal choice if you want to experience Peru in a way that feels both inspiring and effortless.
How to Choose the Right Viagens Machu Picchu Package
With so many options available, choosing the right package can feel overwhelming. But it really comes down to one simple question:
What kind of traveler are you?
- If you love adventure and don’t mind a physical challenge, go for the Adventurer package with Sky Camp
- If you prefer culture, history, and a relaxed pace, the Sacred Valley experience is your best bet
- And, if you want a balance of comfort, scenery, and exploration, the Mountain View package is ideal
Each option offers something unique—but all of them lead to the same unforgettable destination.
Practical Travel Tips for Enjoying These Packages
Before you pack your bags, here are a few tips to make your trip smoother:
1. Take Time to Acclimatize
Cusco sits at over 3,400 meters (11,000 feet) above sea level. Give yourself at least a day to adjust before doing anything too strenuous.
2. Pack Smart
Layers are essential. Mornings and evenings can be cold, while afternoons may be warm and sunny.
3. Stay Hydrated
Altitude can dehydrate you quickly. Drink plenty of water—and try coca tea for a local touch.
4. Book Early
Machu Picchu has limited daily entry. Booking in advance ensures you get your preferred dates.
5. Keep an Open Mind
Things may not always go exactly as planned—and that’s part of the adventure.
