If your independent spirit is filling your dreams with new heights in adventure, just point your compass south to soar higher in the Andes and the heart of Peru. This Independence by Globus holiday in South America begins in Lima with an overnight stay in the City of Kings. Enjoy some I-time to take in the colonial architecture of the Spanish conquistadores. Fly to Cusco and head into the Sacred Valley for an overnight stay before boarding the Vistadome train to Aguas Calientes – the foot of the mountain where “The Lost City” is found. Take the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch the sunrise over Machu Picchu and see the mile-long aqueduct, holy houses, and remarkable temple ruins. You’ll also explore a wealth of ancient ruins that defy explanation and encounter the captivating cultures that live on in the Sacred Valley and Cusco. Timeless temples, textiles, and tantalising dishes are all on the menu on this free-spirited sojourn in Peru, including the I-time you crave to explore the extraordinary culture of Peru on your own. Truly a dream come true!

Tour directors

With Globus, there’s no better way to get to know your destination than through the eyes of your Tour Director. We’d like you to meet a Tour Director who is representative of the type of expert that will be with you on your tour.

Scheggia, Patricia

My name is Patricia Scheggia, and I have the pleasure to work as a Globus representative and support our visitors with interesting and useful information about my beautiful country. I´m a mother of three children and also take care my parents, which means I am a busy woman, but when I receive visitors, I always welcome them with a smile and a warm hospitality! I like to travel, and years ago I worked for an airline. Now, after 20 years working in tourism, I can say that I enjoy the opportunity to share with visitors my experience and knowledge. Lima is a big city and traffic can be heavy, so I provide guests with confidence and security when transferring them to our destinations!
