The classic door
The classic Peru circuit, without the mystery pricing
Lima, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco. The route everyone asks about — and almost nobody prices in the open. We publish ours: 7 days in shared service starts at $1,800 per person, and you see the full number as you design, before any commitment.
Shared service means you join small groups for the classic circuit days, with two private exceptions we refuse to give up: a private welcome at Lima airport, and Maras & Moray in a private detour on the day you fly to Cusco — content parity with circuits that cost visibly more.
How the days breathe
Lima, two nights
Arrival with a private representative waiting at the airport, and one full day for the historic center and the coast. Lima is a doorway here, not the destination.
Sacred Valley before Cusco
You fly to Cusco but sleep lower, in the Valley — kinder for acclimatization. Chinchero, Ollantaytambo, and the salt terraces of Maras with the circular fields of Moray, privately, on the way in.
Machu Picchu by Vistadome
The panoramic train from Ollantaytambo, the Machu Picchu Mountain circuit, a guide who tells the place instead of reciting it — subject to availability, which we confirm for real within 12 hours of your deposit.
Cusco to close
The last block is Cusco: the city in shared service, San Pedro market flavors, and from 8 days a stop in Pisac on the ride back from the Valley. Rest days land here, where there's a café for every mood.

Who this door is for
First-timers who want the icons done right, couples and families who prefer their budget visible from minute one, and anyone allergic to hidden-price contact forms. If you'd rather trade the crowds for weaving villages or via ferrata heights, one of the other doors will fit better.
Reference anchor: $1,800 per person, 7 days, shared service, double occupancy. Estimated and subject to availability — your exact number appears as you design.
