Peru Itinerary: 9 Days from Lima to Lake Titicaca
This 9-day Peru itinerary follows a single route from Lima through Cusco and the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu, then overland to Puno and Lake Titicaca before departure from Juliaca. Eight hotel nights are included across Lima, Cusco, Urubamba, Aguas Calientes and Puno. The daily outline below explains the sequence without tying your planning to unconfirmed departure times.
| Day | Main experience | Overnight destination |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lima airport arrival and private pickup | Lima |
| 2 | Lima city tour | Lima |
| 3 | Fly to Cusco; city tour | Cusco |
| 4 | Sacred Valley | Urubamba |
| 5 | Voyager train and Machu Picchu | Aguas Calientes |
| 6 | Free morning and return train | Cusco |
| 7 | Overland tourist route | Puno |
| 8 | Uros and Taquile | Puno |
| 9 | Private Juliaca airport transfer | No included overnight |
Day 1: Arrival in Lima
Your trip begins at Jorge Chávez airport with a private pickup and transfer to your hotel. Lima is the starting point rather than a connection to skip: the following day is devoted to its city tour. Your first overnight is in Lima.
Day 2: Lima City Tour
Visit Santo Domingo, Casa Aliaga and the Larco Museum, followed by a second overnight in Lima.
Day 3: Lima to Cusco
Arrange the Lima–Cusco flight separately; airfare is excluded. The itinerary then lists a Cusco city tour and nearby Inca sites, followed by a Cusco overnight. Confirm that flight arrival leaves time for the planned visits.
Day 4: Sacred Valley and Urubamba
Visit the Parwa Cultural Center, Chinchero and Ollantaytambo. Overnight in Urubamba, not Cusco.
Day 5: Machu Picchu and Aguas Calientes
Take the Voyager train for the Machu Picchu portion of the package and visit the citadel with a guide. Your hotel night is in Aguas Calientes, the town associated with the Machu Picchu stay. The overnight is an important distinction from a same-day return journey to Cusco.
Day 6: Aguas Calientes to Cusco
Enjoy a free morning, have the included lunch at Café Inkaterra and return by 360° train before your Cusco overnight. Ask about your dates and the Aguas Calientes overnight when requesting the complete package quote.
Day 7: Cusco to Puno Overland
Continue along the Andes tourist route with stops at Andahuaylillas, Raqchi and Pucará before your night in Puno. This is the included Cusco to Puno overland connection, rather than a flight between the two destinations. The journey itself supplies another part of the sightseeing program. It also places you in Puno for the Lake Titicaca visit on the following day.
Day 8: Uros and Taquile on Lake Titicaca
Visit the Uros floating islands and Taquile Island, then return to Puno for the final included hotel night. No island overnight is listed.
Day 9: Transfer to Juliaca Airport
Finish with a private transfer to Juliaca airport. Arrange your onward flight separately; airfare and an additional hotel night are excluded.
Machu Picchu and Your Night in Aguas Calientes
The itinerary lists one guided citadel visit on Day 5, an overnight in Aguas Calientes and a free morning before the Day 6 return; it does not promise a second citadel admission. Voyager and 360° train services are included as listed in the itinerary.
Stay in Aguas Calientes after the guided visit and return the following day after lunch at Café Inkaterra. The return day does not include a second citadel admission.
Cusco to Puno Overland and Lake Titicaca
Day 7 follows the Cusco–Puno overland route with stops at Andahuaylillas, Raqchi and Pucará. Day 8 visits Uros and Taquile on Lake Titicaca.
Puno provides the hotel base for the Lake Titicaca segment. You arrive after the overland sightseeing route, stay for the island visit and leave for Juliaca airport on Day 9. The scheduled accommodation is in Puno, not on an island. That distinction is useful when comparing itineraries that use similar destination names but have different overnight arrangements.
The sheet lists Puno at 3,830 m. This is the stated altitude for Puno, not a verified maximum elevation for every point on the road. Consider both the overland travel and the lake visit when discussing individual suitability, especially if altitude is a concern for anyone in your party.
What Is Included and Not Included?
The package includes eight hotel nights, the listed guided tours, a private pickup at Lima airport and a private transfer to Juliaca airport on Day 9. All international and domestic flights are excluded, including the Lima–Cusco flight.
Accommodation covers Lima, Cusco, Urubamba, Aguas Calientes and Puno. Breakfast is included daily, together with the listed lunches, including Café Inkaterra on Day 6. Meals not listed and drinks are excluded. Ask about the meal allocation with your quote; the package is not described as full board.
The included sightseeing services cover all listed tours with guides, the full Cusco Tourist Ticket, Voyager and 360° trains, the Machu Picchu two-day program and the Cusco–Puno tourist route. The full BTC does not add excursions beyond the itinerary. The Machu Picchu program follows the guided visit, overnight and return arrangement described above.
Tips, travel insurance, early check-in and late check-out are also excluded. When comparing packages, distinguish the included Lima arrival and Juliaca departure transfers from the separately booked flights. No onward flight or additional hotel night after Day 9 is included.
Five Hotel Categories and Private-Service Upgrades
You can choose from five hotel categories and upgrade to private services. Ask for the proposed hotel list with your quote so you can assess the accommodation across the whole route, rather than deciding from a category label alone. The package includes eight nights across its Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Puno stages.
The group option has a maximum of 16 travelers. There are five hotel categories, and private services are available as an upgrade. Ask for the hotel options and private-service details with your WhatsApp quote. Hotel category and private-service preference are separate choices; no specific hotel names or upgrade amounts are stated here.
Tour Price: Request Your Hotel-Category Quote on WhatsApp
Price depends on hotel category; request your quote on WhatsApp. Send your intended dates, number of travelers and preferred accommodation level to receive a proposal for this specific nine-day package. If you want to compare group and private services, ask for both options in the same enquiry.
A useful Peru tour price comparison starts with the same inclusions, not just the final total. Check hotel nights, train services, the guided Machu Picchu visit, airport transfers, the Cusco–Puno route and listed meals. Keep the separately booked Lima–Cusco flight and other excluded expenses outside that comparison.
Altitude, Difficulty and Arrival Logistics

The Day 3 Lima–Cusco flight is excluded, as are all other domestic and international air tickets.
