Most touring days have 2 to 3 hours on foot on sand, stone paths and steps. The Gocta walk is the long one, about 10 to 12 km round trip with steady climbs, 4 to 5 hours on foot, with a short viewpoint walk or a horse as the easier choice. Kuélap sits at about 3,000 metres and Chachapoyas at about 2,335 metres; the coast is at sea level. You can sit out any walk.

Arrive in Lima

Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) to your hotel in Miraflores

  • Welcome dinner

Fly into Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) at any time. A driver meets you in arrivals for the drive to Miraflores, about 20 km and usually under an hour, longer at rush hour. We stay in Miraflores because it sits on the cliffs above the Pacific, is easy to walk after dark and puts cafés and cevicherías a few blocks from the hotel. If you land early, follow the Malecón, the clifftop path of parks, to the Parque del Amor and watch the paragliders ride the sea breeze. In the dry months from May to September Lima is usually grey and mild, under the coastal cloud locals call garúa. At about 6 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a briefing on the trip: the four short flights, the cloud-forest days around Chachapoyas and what to pack.

Soir

Then we walk to a welcome dinner for a first taste of Peruvian cooking. To join the briefing, plan to land by about 3 pm; later arrivals are briefed at breakfast.

Faune et météo : May to September is the dry season around Chachapoyas, with the firmest trails and clearer views at Kuélap; mornings can still be misty and nights cool. On the coast it is the cooler months: Lima is often grey, Trujillo usually milder and brighter. Gocta runs all year and is fullest early in the season. The cloud forest is good for birds, including hummingbirds.

Questions

What does the price include?

Nine nights in central hotels, 9 breakfasts, 7 lunches and 2 dinners, four domestic flights, airport transfers in Lima, our own vehicle and driver in each region, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, local site guides, the Kuélap cable car and every entry on the day plan, from Chan Chan and the Sipán museum to Gocta, Karajía and the Larco Museum.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests. That keeps the steep path at Karajía and the Gocta trail manageable, lets everyone hear the site guides at Chan Chan and Kuélap, and fits the whole group around one table at lunch.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with you from the first evening in Lima to the airport on the last day, handling every flight, transfer and meal. Licensed local guides join at Chan Chan, the Huaca de la Luna and Kuélap, and a guide from the Cocachimba community leads the Gocta walk.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderate. Most days mean 2 to 3 hours on foot. The Gocta walk is about 10 to 12 km with steady climbs, but you can take a horse or walk only to the viewpoint. Karajía has a short, steep path, and Kuélap is at about 3,000 metres, so you will notice the altitude.

I am travelling solo. What is the single supplement?

A room of your own is from CAD 765 more, shown before you book with no surprise at checkout. Solo travellers are welcome on every departure; if you would rather share, ask us and we will tell you whether another solo guest of the same sex has asked to share on your date.

When is the best time to go?

May to September, the dry season in the Andes of Amazonas, when the trails to Gocta and Karajía are firmest and Kuélap's views are clearest. The coast is cooler and often grey then, especially in Lima. From November to April heavy rain makes the cloud-forest trails muddy and roads less reliable.

How does booking work?

Choose a date and send a request to book. We check the flights and hotels and confirm your place within 24 hours. No payment is taken when you request; we only ask for payment once your trip is confirmed. Dates are set so the Sipán museum day never falls on a Monday, when it is closed.

Can I travel on my own dates?

Yes. The trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, from CAD 8,100 per person sharing. If you would rather travel independently, ask from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, flights, drivers and local guides; that is an inquiry, not a set style.

Do I need a visa for Peru?

Canadian, US, UK and most EU passport holders do not need a visa for a tourist stay in Peru, and you receive your entry permit on arrival. Check the rules for your own passport, and travel with the passport you book with, because domestic flight tickets are issued in that name.

Is Kuélap open after the 2022 wall collapse?

Yes, Kuélap has reopened, but part of the outer wall collapsed in April 2022 and visits now follow a set circuit with a local guide. We confirm what is open and how the cable car is running on your dates, and send it with your final itinerary.

How do you get to Chachapoyas?

We fly. The road from the coast to Chachapoyas takes about 9 hours, so we fly from Chiclayo to Jaén, connecting in Lima, then drive about 4 hours up the Utcubamba valley. On the way out we drive back to Jaén and fly to Lima. If a connection does not run, we tell you the road plan before you travel.

Can I add Machu Picchu?

Yes. Our Lima, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by train trip also starts in Lima, so you can do that trip before or after this one. Tell us when you request to book, and we will add the nights in Lima between the two.
