We'll visit the Plaza de Armas, Plaza San Martín, la Plaza del Congreso, Palacio de Justicia, and more.

We'll enjoy a meal at one of the most beautiful places we've discovered in Lima (Huaca Pucllana)

We'll spend one night here and explore this magical city that is located before Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu).

We'll arrive to Aguas Calientes by train! and spend 2 nights there to take our time to explore the Machu Picchu ruins, and hopefully reserve early enough to have a spot to hike for a few hours (if desired) and see the ruins from the Machu Picchu mountain or Wayna Picchu (pending availability).

We'll enjoy a meal at a great place that could also pack our snack/meal for our Machu Picchu adventure, called the Tree House.

The experience of being at this spot is hard to describe, but we'll be there together to enjoy this magical moment...
