Planning Peru

How Many Days Do You Need in Peru?

By Giovanni · · 1 min read

From a 7-day highlights trip to a 14-day grand tour — how to plan the right length for your journey.

We usually recommend at least 8 to 10 days for a first visit, allowing time to acclimatize in the Sacred Valley.

7 days

Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.

10–12 days

Add Lima’s food scene and Lake Titicaca or the Amazon.

14+ days

Combine the Andes, the Amazon and the south: Arequipa and the Colca Canyon.
