Bonjour mesdames et messieurs! Prepare yourselves for an unforgettable journey to Cusco, Peru, a city steeped in history and brimming with vibrant culture. This bespoke itinerary, designed for two discerning couples, promises an immersion into the heart of the Andes during the winter months (May-September). Expect crisp, dry air, perfect for exploring the captivating landscapes and ancient ruins.

Our journey begins with a private transfer from Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) to your luxurious hotel in the heart of Cusco. Expect to pay approximately $80-$120 for this private transfer. Settle into your accommodations, perhaps a boutique hotel nestled within a colonial building, and allow yourselves to acclimatize to the altitude (Cusco sits at 11,152 feet above sea level). The charming cobblestone streets, the aroma of freshly brewed coca tea, and the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains will immediately captivate you.

A culinary journey awaits! Dinner on your first night will be at Cicciolina, a restaurant renowned for its innovative take on Peruvian cuisine using locally sourced ingredients. Budget approximately $150-$200 per couple for dinner, including drinks. The restaurant boasts a refined atmosphere and impeccable service.

Day two will be dedicated to exploring the city. We'll begin with a guided tour of the majestic Sacsayhuamán, a breathtaking Inca fortress overlooking Cusco. Private guided tours generally cost between $100-$150 per couple. In the afternoon, immerse yourselves in the vibrant San Blas artisan neighborhood, known for its colorful buildings and intricate crafts. You can bargain for unique souvenirs, observing the friendly banter between locals and tourists alike.

Later, a traditional Peruvian cooking class awaits. Learn the art of preparing classic dishes like cuy (guinea pig - a local delicacy!), lomo saltado, and causa. The cooking class, including all ingredients and a delightful meal afterward, will cost around $120-$180 per couple.

For your third day, a trip to the Sacred Valley is in order. A private driver will transport you to the charming towns of Pisac and Ollantaytambo. Transportation for the day will cost approximately $150-$200. You’ll explore the incredible ruins, marvel at the intricate agricultural terraces, and visit local markets brimming with textiles, alpaca wool products, and vibrant handicrafts.

We'll enjoy a delicious lunch in the Sacred Valley at a restaurant that showcases traditional Andean cuisine. Expect to spend around $80-$120 per couple for lunch. In the evening, we'll return to Cusco and enjoy a final dinner at a restaurant of your choice.

Throughout your stay, you'll experience the warmth and hospitality of the Peruvian people, the enchanting Andean music drifting through the streets, and the captivating blend of indigenous and Spanish colonial architecture. Remember to tip generously! A good rule of thumb is 10-15% for service. Don't be surprised to see people walking their dogs, mostly small breeds, or perhaps a playful cat lounging in a sunny corner.

The estimated total cost for this luxurious 3-day, 2-night itinerary for two couples (excluding flights and accommodation) is approximately $1,600-$2,400. This estimate accounts for flexibility; you can always adjust the activities to suit your budget and preferences.

Au revoir, and until our next adventure!
