14-Day Peru & Argentina - Machu Picchu, Buenos Aires & Los Glaciares National Park

Customisable Itinerary
4.0 • (1 review)

Trip Overview

This trip brings you the best of Peru and Argentina in just 14 days!

You'll explore the Sacred Valley over two days encompassing Pisac Market and enjoy a guided tour of the famed Inca Ruins. The following day, you'll visit the Misminay Andean village to learn of the daily lives of these mountain people. In addition, you'll also visit the Moray Ruins and Ollantaytambo Fortress, the last stand of the 15th-century Incan emperors.

You'll take the Vistadome panoramic train to the famed Machu Picchu. Nestled in the valleys that lead the way to the Amazon, this citadel remained known to the Spanish Conquistadors. In 1911, it was rediscovered by America explorer Hiram Bingham. Take in the views from the top of Machu Picchu Mountain after experiencing this spectacular, yet often underrated Machu Picchu trek. Next, you'll head to ancient Cusco, a blend of majestic Incan and Colonial architecture, cobbled streets and colourful local markets.

You'll fly from Lima to Buenos Aires, the home of tango dance and famed as The Paris of the South. You'll enjoy the famed barbecue Asado lunch at a local gaucho ranch and witness their equestrian wizardry. Southbound we reach Los Glaciares National Park to ice trek on the famed Perito Moreno Glacier in this stunning landscape.

Come aboard and enjoy the ultimate 14-day Peru and Argentina itinerary!
