- Lima: Tonight, you'll travel in an overnight coach with 1st class tickets. Soft & comfy beds. Good times with your crew. Coach rides don't get more amazing than this.
- Huaraz: Stroll around the buzzing markets and squares of Huaraz. You'll see Plaza De Armas, Regional Museum of Ancash and Iglesia La Soledad (all against the backdrop of beautiful mountains).
- Huaraz: We'll hop onto our coach for a 3-hour drive to the Pastoruri glacier, followed by a 2-hour hike to the top. Standing tall at 5000 metres above the sea, you'll catch epic views of snowy cliffs intertwined with rocky landscapes. It's a lesser-known tourist attraction you'll be so glad you didn't miss.
- Huaraz: Get ready to be absolutely awestruck! We'll hit the road to see the crystal blue Lake 69 in Huascarán National Park. Picture sprawling farmlands, paper trees, ancient ruins and finally a turquoise glacier-fed lake - all over 7 hours & a 9-mile hike.
- Huaraz: You'll explore the insane network of ancient Chavin temples here (and the pinnacle of 'em all - Chavin de Huantar) that were once a cultural centre in 1000 BC. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site for a reason!
- Huaraz: We'll hop on our private vehicle for a 2-hr ride to Chavin de Huantar - a stunning town in the middle of the Andes. Here, you'll explore a labyrinth of ancient temples that'll leave you completely mesmerised.

Itinerary
Day 1
Lima > Overnight Coach to Huaraz
Hey there, Peru explorers! Welcome to the very lovely city of Lima. Our journey begins with a comfy overnight coach ride. Recline your bed seats, chat with your new crew. And get ready for the epic adventure that lies ahead of us.
Day 2
Overnight Coach to Huaraz > Huaraz
Hello Huaraz, we'll arrive early in the AM in this lovely, lovely city.If the snow-capped mountain views haven’t made your morning already, a guided tour of the charming town centre this morning surely will. The rest of the day is all yours to spend just the way you like - hit up a local restaurant, or one of the many scenic viewpoints. ‘Bored’ doesn’t exist here.
Day 3
Huaraz
Got your hiking boots? Lace ‘em up! Today, we’re taking a day-trip to hike one of the last remaining glaciers in tropical South America - the very breathtaking Pastoruri Glacier. Expect massive snowy cliffs, rugged rocky valleys (and a camera roll packed with panoramic vistas).
Day 4
Huaraz
It’s gonna be a looong day, folks! So fuel up on breakfast, and get ready for an epic hike to see the absolutely jaw-dropping Laguna 69 (AKA the 69th lake out of the massive 300 of them here). The hike may be tiring. But once you see the bright blue waters surrounded by impressive scenery of mountains and valleys, it’ll all be worth it. We promise.
Day 5
Huaraz > Chavin de Huantar > Huaraz > Overnight Coach to Lima
Love learning about ancient cultures? Boy, you’re gonna love today. Cuz after breakfast, we’ll make our way to the historic site of Chavin de Huantar. This labyrinth of eye-popping pre-Incan temples, studded with sculpted stone blocks is a UNESCO World Heritage site for a reason. So, put your Lara Croft face on. And let’s get exploring these mysterious structures that date back to 1200 BC! (That’s OVER 3000 years ago…)Back in Huaraz, there’s only one thing on our agenda - catch our overnight coach. Eat up, rest up, and catch up with your crew as we head to Lima.
Day 6
Overnight Coach to Lima > Lima
We're back in the city where our adventure first begun... ...And with that, our Peru adventure has come to an end. Memories have been made. Socials have been exchanged (and muscles have been built too). And quite possibly, plans have been made to meet the crew again. Maybe somewhere in Asia next time?
