DAY 2~SUNDAY~SEPTEMBER 30
LIMA
After a leisurely breakfast get set to discover Lima, Peru’s ancient capital, on an afternoon guided tour. Visit Plaza de Armas (the main square), with the government palace and the archbishop’s palace. This area of magnificent colonial and republican-style buildings was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991. Continue to San Francisco Monastery, an old convent founded in the 16th century. It is known for its cloister featuring mosaic tiles from Seville, Spain, and for its catacombs, which served as Lima's cemetery through the colonial period. Your next stop is at the Inquisition Museum, one of Lima’s most popular museums. Housed in the building that was home to the Inquisition from 1570 to 1820, the museum has exhibits that explain the impact and importance of the Inquisition in Peru’s history. This grisly museum features the underground dungeons and torture chambers that were used to punish accused heretics. The tour will end with a visit to the Archaeological Museum where you can marvel at its superb collection of pre-Columbian artifacts.
The afternoon is at leisure. Your hotel in located in a wonderful area for shopping and simply strolling.
Your welcome dinner will be at La Huaca Pucllana for a traditional Peruvian meal. The restaurant is located in one of the pre-Columbian temples in a 15-acre archaeological site. Three thousand years ago, when the temple was built in 400 AD, the Miraflores area was an important religious and administrative center of Lima culture. Today, Restaurante La Huaca Pucllana is a warm and cozy restaurant that offers a spectacular view of the illuminated ruins surrounding diners.

DAY 3~MONDAY~OCTOBER 1
LIMA/ PARACAS
This morning a drive to the south of Lima along the Panamerican Highway takes you through large valleys such as Mala, Cañete, Chincha, and San Clemente to Pisco. En route visit a local winery to learn the production process of the most popular Peruvian drink, ―pisco.‖ Apart from the wine, it is a wonderful cultural experience to see how people live and work in the countryside. Enjoy lunch at the winery before continuing on to Paracas and your home for the next two nights.
With 50 years of tradition, the exclusive Libertador Paracas Hotel offers excellent service in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Overlooking a beautiful beach, the hotel has three pools, two tennis courts, waterskiing, and boat trips for your leisure as well as excellent dining facilities.

DAY 4~TUESDAY~OCTOBER 2
PARACAS~NAZCA LINES
Transfer to Pisco airport and board your small aircraft to see one of the great mysteries of South America, the Nazca Lines, visible in all their magnificence only from the air. Using as their canvas the Pampa Colorada (Red Plains)—a plateau 37 miles long and 15 miles wide—Nazca artists etched works of monumental proportion: a montage of geometric designs and whimsical portrayals of plants and animals. The hummingbird, fish, dog, lizard, puma, spider, condor, and monkey are among some of these outlines. Figures of 18 different kinds of birds create a veritable aviary in this menagerie that prowls the pampa. The lines have been preserved for over 2,000 years by the complete lack of rain and the persistence of winds that cleaned the lines. The mystery as to why a civilization would sketch drawings that it couldn’t see has been the lifetime study of German mathematician and archaeologist Maria Reiche. She believes the lines were drawn as an "astronomical calendar" that the gods were to see from above to remind them to help the Nazcas with their agriculture, fishing, and other activities. The lines were drawn using a basic unit of measurement formed by the distance from the elbow to the forefingers and by using ropes tied to stakes to draw symmetrical circles and arcs.
Flying over the plains in a small plane is an unforgettable experience, generating profound reflection on the beliefs and abilities of our ancestors on the American continent. After your overflight of the incredible Nazca Lines, return to your hotel where the afternoon is at leisure.
Tonight you will have the chance to experience the magic of the desert at the amazing dunes on the Peruvian Coast. After driving across the desert you will be surprised by the view of a wonderful oasis located just in the middle of nowhere. This landscape will certainly take your breath away as you will enjoy a unique experience of a luxury dinner under the stars.
Overnight at HOTEL LIBERTADOR PARACAS. (B,D)

DAY 5~WEDNESDAY~OCTOBER 3
PARACAS/BALLESTAS ISLANDS/PACHACAMAC SANCTUARY/LIMA
Wake up early and take a short boat trip to Ballestas Islands. Leaving the Bay of Paracas, you pass the ―Candelabra,‖ a huge design shaped like a trident carved into a cliff facing out to sea. It is one of Peru’s most famous ancient petroglyphs. The Ballestas Islands were named for their distinctive bow-shaped rocks. The Humboldt Current deflecting off the peninsula and the irregular ocean floor create a large variety of sea environments within a limited area, which results in an impressive variety of sea fauna living on and around these islands. Known as the Peruvian Galápagos, the islands harbor huge colonies of fur seals, sea lions, and sea birds, some of the more impressive being the Guanay cormorant, Peruvian and blue-footed boobies, and several species of tern.
Return to shore and start your drive back to Lima and en route visit the pre-Inca ruins of Pachacamac, just 25 miles south of Lima in the Lurin Valley. Pachacamac, ―the Earth’s creator,‖ was considered one of the most important religious monuments by the indigenous people of the central Andes. Lunch will be at a local restaurant.
Built centuries before the Incas, Pachacamac is noted for its great pyramidal temples and for the remains of frescoes adoring its adobe walls. Culturally and chronologically, it is related to Chancay and other centers of the Cuismancu Empire, including Huari. At the time of the Spanish conquest it was a major Inca shrine. Following the expansion of the Inca Empire, Pachacamac became an important Inca administrative center, while maintaining its status as a religious shrine. The Inca built five separate complexes there, including the Pyramid of the Sun and the Mamacuna. The latter contains fine Inca masonry at its entrance gate, a rarity on the coast. The Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro heard about Pachacamac from the Inca while holding the Inca king, Atahualpa, prisoner at Cajamarca in 1532. He promptly sent an expedition to pillage the center. The Spanish conquerors seized a large amount of silver and gold from the site and destroyed an idol. Spanish accounts indicate Pachacamac was one of the holiest shrines in the central Andes. There is an on-site museum featuring archaeological remains found in the complex, such as ceramics, textiles, idols, and more.

DAY 6~THURSDAY~OCTOBER 4
LIMA/PUERTO MALDONADO/MANU NATIONAL PARK~MANU WILDLIFE CENTER
An early morning transfer to Lima airport will be followed by an 85-minute flight to Puerto Maldonado, via Cusco. Continue by car to Santa Rosa Village, a journey of approximately three hours. Cross the Inambary River for 15 minutes by boat before a
45-minute drive to the Boca Colorado Village. Here, your adventure truly begins during a four-hour motorized boat journey up the Madre de Dios River to the Manu Wildlife Center. The pristine quality of the forest is instantly apparent, with abundant birdlife and no signs of outside development. A delicious boxed lunch is provided at the beginning of the boat journey. Although this is a long way to reach Manu, the amazing wilderness will delight you, and you’ll truly understand why the San Diego Zoo strives to conserve this pristine area for future generations to enjoy.
Manu National Park is located in the provinces of Manu and Paucartambo in Peru, comprising lands on the eastern slopes of the Andes and the Peruvian Amazon. It protects some of the Earth’s most important wildlands: Andean grasslands, elfin and cloud forest, and lowland Amazon rain forest. The park contains more species of animals and plants than any other part of the world: 1,000 species of birds, 13 species of monkeys (including the mustached emperador tamarin), several species of macaws and parrots, harpy eagle, black caiman, tapir, endangered giant otter, and the impressive jaguar. Manu National Park was internationally recognized as a Biosphere Reserve in 1977 and it was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1987.
Manu Wildlife Center is located in a private, 40,000-acre rain forest reserve adjacent to the one-million-acre protected area named the Amarakaeri Reserved Zone. The lodge is famous for its abundant and varied wildlife, with its own tapir clay lick, a nearby macaw and parrot clay lick, two nearby oxbow lakes, and two tall canopy-viewing towers are among its impressive highlights. Manu Wildlife Center is located east of the Manu River on the north bank of Madre de Dios River. The lodge has 22 fully screened, double-occupancy bungalows, each with a private bath and hot shower; a large, fully screened dining room; and a bar with hammocks for relaxing. Manu Wildlife Center has no electricity. Lighting in the communal areas is by kerosene lamp and candle, with the paths around the lodge complex lit by kerosene lamps. Lighting in the guests' bedrooms is by candle. A 110-volt generator is available from which camcorder batteries can be recharged.
Overnight at the MANU WILDLIFE CENTER. (B, Boxed Lunch, D)

DAY 7~FRIDAY~OCTOBER 5
MANU WILDLIFE CENTER~THE MACAW CLAY LICK, CANOPY TOWER & TAPIR CLAY LICK
Wake up at dawn and take a short boat ride downstream, followed by a 20-minute walk through palm plantations to a cutoff channel of the river, to reach the Blanquillo Macaw Lick. A spacious hide provided with individual chairs and a convenient place for cameras and binoculars is your ringside seat for what is usually a very spectacular show. You will enjoy a full breakfast here while waiting for the main actors to arrive.
In groups of twos and threes the big red-and-green macaws come flapping in, landing in the treetops as they eye the main stage below—the eroded clay banks of the old channel. Meanwhile, the supporting cast appears: these may include blue-headed, mealy, yellow-crowned, and orange-cheeked parrots—and the occasional villain, a menacing and unwelcome great black hawk. The drama plays out at first in tentative and then bolder approaches to the lick, until finally nearly all the macaws, parrots, and parakeets form a colorful and noisy spectacle on the bare banks, squabbling as they scrape clay from the hard surface.
Return to the lodge just in time for lunch and then continue to explore and discover the rain forest, its lore and plant life, on the network of trails surrounding the lodge, and arriving in the late afternoon at the lodge’s 112-foot canopy tower. On its platform you will witness the frantic rush-hour and activity of twilight in the rain forest canopy before night closes in. The forest near the center features two or more canopy platforms or towers at any given time. The towers are strategically located near fruiting or flowering trees visited by monkeys and a panoply of colorful canopy birds. The close-up canopy viewing of such a large variety of monkeys and photogenic birds, including iridescent tanagers, toucans, and hummingbirds, is spectacular.
Later, set off along the ―collpa trail,‖ which will take you to the lodge’s famous tapir clay lick. Here, at the most active tapir lick in the entire Amazon, researchers have identified 8-12 individual, 600-pound tapirs that come to this lick to eat clay from under the tree roots around the edge. This unlikely snack absorbs and neutralizes toxins in the vegetarian diet of the tapir, the largest land animal of Latin America. The lick features a roomy, elevated observation platform 17 feet above the forest floor. The platform is equipped with fresh mattresses with pillows; each mattress is covered by a roomy mosquito net. The 164-feet-long, elevated walkway to the platform is covered with sound-absorbing padding to prevent footsteps from making noise. This tapir experience is unique and exciting because these normally very shy creatures are visible up close, and flash photography is not just permitted, it is encouraged.
The hard part for modern city dwellers is to remain still and silent anywhere from 30 minutes to two or more hours. Many prefer to nap until the first tapir arrives, at which point your guide gently awakens you to watch the tapir, just 33-66 feet away below the platform. Most people feel that the wait is well worth it in order to have such a high probability of observing the rare and elusive tapir in its rain forest home.
Overnight at the MANU WILDLIFE CENTER. (B,L,D)

DAY 8~SATURDAY~OCTOBER 6
MANU WILDLIFE CENTER~COCHA BLANCO & THE WILDLIFE TRAILS
Set off early to visit Cocha Blanco, an old oxbow lake full of water lilies and sunken logs. This lake is one of the most spectacular scenery our lodge offers for bird-watching. It displays a number of different microhabitats as a result of ancient rivers moving across in geological time and creating a series of terraces, each containing a different type of forest. This mosaic of habitat types is one of the reasons the forests in this area are among the richest in the world in terms of biodiversity. As you circle the lake on the catamaran you might encounter the resident giant otter family on a fishing expedition, or troops of monkeys crashing noisily through the trees. Wattled jacanas step lightly on the lily pads, dainty sun grebes paddle across the water, supple-necked anhingas air-dry their wide, black wings, and perhaps an osprey scans for fish from a high branch. Among the bushes near the waterline, hoatzins, which look like rust-colored, punk chickens, announce their presence with distinctive, bizarre wheezing and grunts. Woodpeckers, tanagers, macaws, toucans, and parakeets all come swooping into trees surrounding the lake. Many of them roost around the lake for the night.
After lunch at the lodge your guide is available to lead you on freewheeling expeditions in search of further wildlife encounters. Late afternoon until after dinner, you can take a boat ride in search of caiman and other nocturnal wildlife along the riverbank.
Overnight at the MANU WILDLIFE CENTER. (B,L,D)

DAY 9~SUNDAY~OCTOBER 7
MANU WILDLIFE CENTER~COCHA CAMUNGO & BIG TREE CANOPY TOWER
Take a short boat ride downriver from the lodge, and then a 15-minute walk through a primary forest trail takes you to Cocha Camungo, oxbow lake, a good spot for viewing purus jacamar, pale-eyed black-bird, the bizarre- looking hoatzins, several species of flycatchers, and others. The abundance of fish makes the family of giant river otters almost permanent residents of the lake during long stretches of time.
The rest of the morning will be spent at the canopy platform (130 feet high) near Cocha Camungo while looking out for canopy species. Hopefully, you will be in the middle of a mixed flock with green-and-gold, opal-rumped, opal-crowned, paradise and masked-crimsom tanagers; purple
honeycreeper; gilded and lemon-throated barbets; Sclater´s and chesnut-shouldered antwrens; orange-fronted plushcrown and more. Distant treetops may produce great views of purple-throated and spangled cotingas, curl-crested, Brown-mandibled, chesnut-eared aracaris, white-throated toucans, and some birds of prey. This platform provides a beautiful view of Cocha Camungo as well as the forest canopy, and on very clear days you can spot the distant ranges of the Andes above the undulating forest treetops.
After lunch at the center, explore the forest trails, with the emphasis on visiting the fruiting and flowering trees that your experienced naturalist guides have been monitoring. The trails are good for banded antbird, semi-collared puffbird, pale-winged Trumpeter, and rufous-fronted antthrush.
Overnight at the MANU WILDLIFE CENTER. (B,L,D)

DAY 10~MONDAY~OCTOBER 8
MANU NATIONAL PARK/BOCA MANU/CUZCO/LIMA
After an early breakfast at the lodge, you leave on a 2.5-hour boat trip to the Colorado Village, enjoying once more the early morning wildlife activity. In addition, this journey allows you to see several lowland native settlements and gold miners digging and panning for gold along the banks of the Madre de Dios River. You will arrive at the gold-mining town of Colorado to start your overland journey to Puerto Maldonado. Proceed to the airport and fly back to Lima via Cusco, where you will be escorted to your hotel. Your evening is at leisure.
CASA ANDINA PRIVATE COLLECTION MIRAFLORES HOTEL. (B)

DAY 11~TUESDAY~OCTOBER 9
LIMA/EN ROUTE
Your day is at leisure to do some sightseeing on your own, shop, or to just relax. This evening, a farewell dinner is prepared for you at the La Dama Juana Restaurant. Enjoy a feast of traditional Peruvian delicacies in this lovely restaurant, which overlooks the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Try the ceviche and don't forget a pisco sour! Afterward, transfer to the airport for your overnight flight back home. (B,D)

DAY 12~WEDNESDAY~OCTOBER 10
ATLANTA/SAN DIEGO
Arrive in Atlanta this morning and connect with your flight home. (Meals Aloft)

OPTIONAL POST-TRIP EXTENSION TO CUSCO & MACHU PICCHU

DAY 10~MONDAY~OCTOBER 8
CUZCO/URUBAMBA VALLEY
In Cuzco, bid farewell to the rest of the group and continue to the Urubamba Valley and your hotel for the next three nights, Casa Andina Private Collection Sacred Valley, strategically located on seven acres in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, just six miles from Ollantaytambo train station. The hotel is closer from Machu Picchu than Cusco City, as well as from the most important archaeological sites, such as Ollantaytambo, Pisac, Chincheros, Moray, Maras and more. Casa Andina Hotel at Urubamba is surrounded by gardens and has 85 entirely equipped guest rooms that open to balconies. Guest rooms provide complimentary wireless Internet access, direct-dial phones, and in-room safes. The hotel has a full-service spa, steam room, sauna, and fitness facility.
Overnight at CASA ANDINA PRIVATE COLLECTION URUBAMBA. (B,D)

DAY 11~TUESDAY~OCTOBER 9
URUBAMBA~ PISAC/MARAS SALT MINES/MORAY & OLLANTAYTAMBO
Your day begins with a visit to the town of Pisac. A vital Inca road once snaked its way up the canyon that enters the Urubamba Valley at Pisac. The citadel, now in ruins at the entrance to this gorge, controlled a route that connected the Inca Empire with Paucartambo, on the border of the eastern jungles. Set high above a valley floor patchworked by patterned fields and rimmed by vast terracing, the stonework and panoramas at Pisac's Inca citadel are magnificent. Terraces, water ducts, and steps have been cut out of solid rock, and in the upper sector of the ruins, the main Sun Temple is equal to anything found at Machu Picchu. Above the temple lie still more ruins, mostly unexcavated,
and among the higher crevices and rocky overhangs several ancient burial sites are hidden. Pisac also offers a very colorful "Market Day" every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, where you can purchase handcrafted jewelry and leather, beautiful woolens and ponchos, carpets and alpaca products.
Your drive now takes you about 37 miles northwest of Cuzco, to the salt mines with more than 3, 000 wells. The salt is extracted from mines that were already in use in pre-Columbian times. One can observe here the ancient method of extracting salt by evaporation and pickup. This mineral has barter value in South Andean villages.
Travel seven miles west of the Maras’s salt mines, to the circular terraces of Moray, commonly believed to have been an Inca agricultural laboratory. It is known that the Incas grew various crops here, but it is unclear whether the place also had a religious significance. The terraces are up to 492 feet deep and do not form perfect circles. Even today, the terraces used by the Incas can be seen everywhere in Peru. Actually, experiments showed that using the ancient agricultural techniques can be more effective than today's agriculture, at least on the slopes of the Andes. The place definitely has a mystical quality, especially late in the afternoon when shadows begin to fill the amphitheatre-like terraces.
Your afternoon is spent exploring Ollantaytambo, which is a major Inca fortress and one of the few places where the Spaniards lost a major battle during the conquest. Ollantaytambo is a massive citadel that served as both a temple and a fortress. The Inca considered Ollantaytambo a temple rather than a fortress, but after their defeat, the Spanish called it a fortress and it has been called such ever since. The temple area is at the top of the terracing. The stone used for these buildings was quarried from the mountainside three miles away and high above the opposite bank of the Rio Urubamba.Transporting the blocks from the quarry to the site was a stupendous feat, yet no one has been able to establish how it was done.
Overnight at the CASA ANDINA PRIVATE COLLECTION URUBAMBA. (B,L)

DAY 12~WEDNESDAY~OCTOBER 10
URUBAMBA
Travel back in time and spend the day on a visit to the native community of Cuyuni, Peru, where the people still live as they have for centuries. Begin your walk along the ancient farming paths in this primarily agricultural community. You will make various stops along your walk today to learn about the local agriculture, religious ceremonies, and textile production in this region. The proud villagers will show you how they have managed to ―tame‖ nature and survive in such extremely adverse conditions, at over 13,000 feet above sea level, where only wild grass grows naturally. Accompanied by Cuyuni community leaders, your group will learn not only about their daily lives and activities but also about their ancestral traditions that date to pre-Inca times.
Overnight at the CASA ANDINA PRIVATE COLLECTION URUBAMBA. (B,L)

DAY 13~THURSDAY~OCTOBER 11
URUBAMBA/MACHU PICCHU
Today you depart on one of South America's most scenic rail trips, from Ollanta Station to the legendary "Lost City of the Incas," Machu Picchu. Your 1.5-hour rail journey is filled with breathtaking sights en route to this mountaintop sanctuary of the Incas, which was hidden from the world until 1911 when Yale archaeologist Hiram Bingham rediscovered it. Machu Picchu straddles a high ridge, with sheer cliffs on three sides, and the Urubamba River curves around it and fills the canyon with its roar. In all directions, there are the Andean peaks covered in jungle green, a spectacular setting for these ancient ruins. There are temples, houses, and terraces for growing crops, gardens, and a sacrificial altar. No one knows what happened to this civilization and why this city mysteriously disappeared, adding to the allure and spirituality of this incredible World Heritage Site.
Once you step through the door of your home for the night, you will feel the magic of this place. The train station is only steps away, but your intimate 85-cottage hotel is a world apart. Surrounded by 12 secluded acres of exquisite beauty, a reverence for nature goes hand in hand with a commitment to indulging your every whim. Your superior room is the perfect sanctuary for simple relaxation with luxurious bedding and an inviting dining area. Decorated with local crafts and eucalyptus beams, your room includes a room heater, a colonial- style wardrobe, Andean slippers crafted from recycled materials, plus a complete set of environmentally friendly toiletries, all provided for your personal comfort. While here, you may want to take advantage of the spa services that feature Andean materials. Treatments can be taken in the spa center or in the privacy of your room.
Overnight at the INKATERRA MACHU PICCHU. (B,L,D)

DAY 14~FRIDAY~OCTOBER 12
MACHU PICCHU/CUSCO
You will have the morning free to return to Machu Picchu and continue exploring the city. As you will enter the citadel early there will be wonderful opportunities to take photographs. In the afternoon, you will go to Ollanta via train and then by bus to Cusco, which takes approximately three hours. Upon check-in at your hotel, the evening is at leisure.
You will be staying at the charming Casa Andina Cusco, a beautifully renovated, 18th-century manor house, just three blocks from Cusco’s Plaza de Armas and replete with authentic colonial character. The hotel is distinguished by three beautiful interior courtyards with wooden balconies. Its cozy lounge and cracking stone fireplace create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Private Collection Cuzco features just 72 guest rooms, with several rooms in the original structure. All rooms are equipped with modern amenities and the on-site gourmet restaurant is an elegant dining venue specializing in local Novo-Andina cuisine.
Overnight at the CASA ANDINA PRIVATE COLLECTION CUSCO. (B, Boxed lunch)

DAY 15~SATURDAY~OCTOBER 13
CUSCO
This morning you will enjoy a guided tour of Cusco. Your excursion will include the gigantic Inca fortress of Sacsayhuamán. The Incas told the Spaniards that they weren't the ones who built Sacsayhuamán, but "the giants‖ built it. In their mythology there were huge people living in the Cuzco area, and they carried the huge stone blocks and put them together. The city of Cuzco was built in the shape of a puma, a holy animal in the Inca beliefs. The head of the puma was actually Sacsayhuamán. Sacsayhuamán was a massive fortress of the Incas capable of accommodating 5,000 fighters. Today the complex is in ruins, but we know from chronicles and word-of-mouth from local Quechuans that it was once bigger, higher, and it even had towers.
Visit the impressive Colonial Cathedral in Cusco that contains over 400 paintings from the Cusqueña School, beautiful cedar wood carvings such as the choir and the Pulpit, as well as some objects made of silver.
Your city tour ends with your visit to Korikancha (Sun Temple), known today as Santo Domingo Church. During the Incas period, the stones of this temple were covered with gold.
This evening you will be treated to dinner at Bacco restaurant.
