Ready for a lot of new emotions and impressions we gather early in the morning at Sofia airport for our first short flight to Istanbul. A short layover awaits us there, after which is our main flight to Panama, which lasts 13 and a half hours, immediately after landing we connect to our final destination - Lima.

In the early hours of the day, check into the hotel provided in our program in Lima, the capital of Peru. We can relax before breakfast, and then take advantage of free time before the panoramic tour of the city begins - the best starting point for exploring Peru! Once known as the 'City of Kings', Lima has historic colonial architecture and monuments worthy of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an enviable culinary scene that dominates South America! Long avenues of colorful houses with ornate balconies and rooftop terraces with chic bars and restaurants await to show you the city's modern development.

In the early hours of today we set off on a three day adventure out of Lima. A comfortable bus picks us up from our hotel to head to Paracas, a small port town in southern Peru. The drive there is about four hours, and we'll stop for breakfast to sample some of the freshest breads in the country - the ovens of Mirasur! We have planned a stopover with a visit to the "Secret Slave Tunnels". We'll visit the hacienda of San Jose, under which are the mystical tunnels once used to smuggle slaves, to learn about a dark side of Peruvian history. In the afternoon we arrived in Paracas. The culture of this city is particularly known for its intricately woven textiles, distinctive artwork, and advances in irrigation technology. You can relax on the tranquil beach or dine on the most delicious seafood in Peru, enjoy all that surrounds you and soak in the characteristic atmosphere, or join our additional offer: an excursion to the heart of the Paracas Reserve! The "Golden Shadows" hike will offer you to experience an unforgettable sunset in Cori-Apu - beautiful views of the setting sun that paints the rocks in golden color!

After breakfast, we will have a day of adventures and many sights of nature and the wonders of Peru! We check out of the hotel and head out for a two-hour boat tour of the Balestas Islands. Peru's desolate desert coastline may seem devoid of much of its wildlife until you head out to sea. Coastal reserves and small islands support remarkable marine diversity! The Balestas Islands promise a unique wildlife-watching experience, from the sea lions to the penguins that inhabit these wondrous places. Returning to land, a guided walk through the desert reserve will allow you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Pacific coastline and experience unique moments in the desert wilderness. If you wish, you can join one of the optional activities: paragliding or ATV tour, which will allow you to experience adrenaline-pumping adventures and explore the desert area from a different perspective. In the afternoon we continue our journey, taking time for a stop at the Pisco Winery. Here is the national drink of Peru, which is very similar to the Bulgarian brandy! This tasting visit will be an interesting addition to the day! After this short break, we continue to our next destination where we will stay overnight - Huacachina - a beautiful Peruvian oasis. Here we will have the two-hour buggy tour and snowboarding down the dunes, which will be unforgettable moments and will leave us with exciting memories of Peru. Enjoy the magic of the sunset and the unique atmosphere of this wonderful place! The landscapes at sunset are unbelievably beautiful - in golden yellow and rust colors.

In the morning after breakfast, we offer you something extra but extremely exciting!

The Nazca Lines are extremely impressive and mysterious, and if you are curious about their origins and significance, then this flight is definitely for you.

From above, these figures form magnificent and mysterious images that will leave you speechless, and the amazement of their scale and complexity is overwhelming.

After completing this unique flight, returning to Lima by luxury coach will allow you to relax and enjoy the beauty of the road as you return to the capital, where a well-deserved rest and overnight stay await.

Today after breakfast we will transfer to the airport for our flight to Cusco. After a short flight, we arrive in the colonial city high in the Andes and again transfer to our accommodation where we will stay for the next 4 days. We have a day filled with a variety of archaeological sites and historical landmarks to visit that will leave a deep impression of the richness of the Incan civilization and its influence on the region. After a short break, it's time to explore Cusco, a city built on the foundations of Inca palaces! There's plenty to see here - colonial architecture and the vibrant Quechua culture whose roots go back to the time when this was the capital of the Inca Empire. The atmosphere here will envelop you with local markets full of produce and crafts that will make you forget what century you are in! A stroll through the streets of Cusco will take you to baroque monasteries, modern yet cozy boutique hotels nestled in colonial buildings, and world-class restaurants where you can enjoy the flavors of traditional local cuisine. From the Plaza de Armas and the Temple of the Sun to majestic archaeological sites like Saxayuaman, your Cusco adventure promises to be unforgettable! We continue to Puka Pukara, a place located on the outskirts of the city and used as a supply center and checkpoint for the Incas. Wind ceremonies were held here and its architecture demonstrates the advanced technology of the Incas. At the end of the tour, we will arrive at Tambomachay, the center of the cult of water and fertility and a place that will immerse us in the magical world of the Incas, where crystal clear water flows all year round and will impress us with intricate hydraulic engineering. After experiencing this extraordinary day, you will be able to enjoy your well-deserved rest returning to your hotel where the comforts and comfort of your accommodation await you.

After breakfast we set off for new impressions and new emotions - from visiting the Andean village of Chinchero to exploring the Maras salt pans and the archaeological complex of Morea, your adventure promises to be unforgettable! Picturesque Chinchero, a village known to the Incas as the birthplace of the rainbow, combines Inca ruins with a colonial church, gorgeous mountain views, and a colorful Sunday market! Set on a high plain with sweeping views of snow-capped peaks, it offers unparalleled beauty. Here we will stop to meet textile artisans, and have the opportunity to learn about traditional weaving techniques and enjoy the beautiful textiles they produce, even having the chance to make something ourselves! We will then visit the archaeological complex, the town's colonial church and the small artisan market located in the middle of the narrow streets of the town, which is filled with handicrafts - a real wonder. We part ways with Chinchero to head to the Maras salt pans. This is one of the most spectacular sights in the entire Cusco region. A hot spring at the top of the valley releases a small stream of highly saline water, which is carried into the salt pans and evaporated to produce salt used to lick the cattle. The overall effect of what you will see is beautiful and surreal.We will continue our tour with a visit to the archaeological center of Morea. With its concentric terraces carved out of a huge bowl of earth, the deep amphitheatrical terraces of Morea, reached through the village of Maras, are a fascinating landscape! The prevailing theory is that the Incas used the strata as a kind of laboratory to optimize conditions for growing different crops of each species. It is now believed that the site could not have supported agriculture without irrigation, for which there is no evidence, and hydrological researchers believe that the site may have served as a temple for water ceremonies. Our day ends with a drive back to the hotel and a well-deserved rest. .

After breakfast, today we have a tour and night in the Sacred Valley - sights that will transport you into the depths of Peru's and the Incas' past! Likened to an international airport for space travelers - the beautiful city of Pisac is a most convenient starting point for the Sacred Valley. It's not hard to succumb to the charms of sunny Pisac, a bustling and fast-growing colonial village at the foot of an impressive Inca fortress and perched on a mountain spur. Here we'll wander through narrow streets and artisan markets, and then continue our tour through the Sacred Valley of Urubamba, where you can enjoy a pleasant lunch and views of the foothills and snow-capped peaks. A visit to the picturesque village of Ollantaytambo will allow you to experience one of the finest examples of Inca urban planning! A walk through the narrow streets, which have been inhabited for centuries, will take you on a journey into the past. Stone buildings and bubbling irrigation canals, huge steep terraces, and impressive ruins that are both fortress and temple rise above Ollantaytambo giving a unique glimpse of the history and architecture of this period. We have also chosen a place for you to stay here so you can be part of the mystical atmosphere of this place and immerse yourself in its rich history.

Today after breakfast we will visit and climb Machu Picchu, which will leave us with unforgettable memories. A combination of natural beauty and Incan architecture, this ancient citadel is an impressive monument to the Incas! The journey there begins with a transfer to the train station, from where we will take a train to Aguas Calientes station, and from there a bus to the archaeological center, where our two-hour guided tour will begin. Shrouded in mist and surrounded by lush vegetation and steep cliffs, the vast Inca citadel of Machu Picchu lives up to all expectations. Set in an impressive location, it is the most famous archaeological site on the continent and a must-see for all visitors to Peru! Declared a Cultural and Natural Heritage of Humanity in 1983 by UNESCO, it is perhaps the most amazing building of the Inca Empire. This citadel consists of temples, palaces, terraces, monuments, complexes and walls; in addition to water channels built with large stone blocks, without any amalgam, proof of the great wisdom of the Inca civilization. After all that we will see and learn from this place, we return to the Aguas Calientes settlement, where lunch is included and our afternoon is free for personal impressions of these sacred and magical lands!

Today, after breakfast, we suggest you choose how your day will go here in Aguas Calientes - Machu Picchu. Choosing between a walk in Aguas Calientes and a visit to Machu Picchu is a difficult one, as both options offer amazing opportunities to experience the beauty of this region. If you have decided to visit Machu Picchu for the second time, you need to have booked in advance due to limited ticket sales. We recommend that with your repeat tour, you enjoy the rising sun over the Inca citadel from Inti Punku, also known as the Gate of the Sun. It is a magical moment that will leave you with unforgettable impressions. Alternatively, if you prefer to choose the more relaxed option and explore the town of Aguas Calientes, you can enjoy the atmosphere of this cozy place located in the deep gorge. A stroll through its streets and a browse of the local shops and restaurants will allow you to get to know the local culture and authenticity of this region. Great natural scenery makes it a true island, cut off from all roads and surrounded by rocky cliffs, tall cloud forests, and lush rivers. Whatever your choice, the morning will be filled with amazing impressions, and the afternoon with the pleasure of relaxation and unwinding. Returning to Cusco by train and resting in your comfortable hotel will allow you to relive and reflect on your impressions of this unforgettable day.

On the last day of our adventure we wake up early, because at 4:30 we leave for a magical place! Just south of the city of Cusco, next to the Campana, is the five-colored mountain Palcoyo! On the way there we will enjoy unrepeatable views of colorful mountains, different animals and their natural habitats. Once we arrive at our starting point we will have a hike that will take us to magical views and the most beautiful parts of the mountain range. Here, with the help of an experienced guide, we will get enough information about everything that surrounds us, time for wonderful photos and contemplation. The next stop on our program is a bus ride about an hour to the Checa Coupe Bridge, a suspension bridge made of Quechua! Here we will break for lunch and head back to Cusco.

Today after breakfast, ready for the long drive back home we will have free time in Cusco. This time will give us some more feel of the characteristic atmosphere of this city, to walk the streets and enjoy the local colonial architecture. Afterwards, we will transfer to the airport for our flight to Lima, which will go by uneventfully reminding us of all the amazing times we had in this part of Peru. Lima will welcome us with more opportunities for the last hours in this country. However you choose to spend your last hours here, make sure you make the best use of them to gather more memories and impressions that will stay with you long after you return home!

Shortly after midnight at 02:30, in the first hours of the day is our flight to Panama's capital, Panama City. This city is one of the most cosmopolitan in Central America - both a bustling metropolis and a gateway escape to amazing tropical locations! As our flight to Europe is late at night, it suggests you don't miss out on opportunities to explore this place! Panama City has three distinct sectors or "cities", all within the city limits! First up is Panama La Vieja (the old town). Also known as Casco Antiguo, it is full of picturesque ruins and a fascinating museum full of archaeological finds. We suggest you don't miss it - a fascinating mix of the Spanish settlement times and the indigenous people who inhabited this region. The visual history will take you through all the important eras - art deco, colonial and Caribbean style buildings sit alongside the ruins of the original Spanish colony! The largest sector is the one located on the impressive Panama Canal! As one of the most significant engineering achievements in the world, understanding its history and importance will complete your experience of this city! All of this is set against a backdrop of thriving businesses, modern skyscrapers and plenty of restaurants and clubs.
