Luxury Peru Vacation Review: Cusco, Sacred Valley, Lima Cooking Class, Machu Picchu, Amazon Basin, Andes Mountains, Food Tours

My husband and I had an amazing trip to Peru and thus far has been one of our favorite travel experiences together. Our travel agency provided a great itinerary for our 9 days 8 night trip - - we originally wanted to see Machu Picchu but didn't know where or what else we wanted to do. With a few specific comments on what we wanted out of the trip - adventure, good food, and lots of exploring - Our agency put together the perfect trip for us. It started with a delicious cooking class in Lima, then we traveled to the Amazon to experience the beauty of nature and the tranquility of being off the grid, then back to reality to the city of Cusco where history is abundant, then headed to the calmness of the Sacred Valley, and the final stop was Machu Picchu - the entire reason we originally traveled to Peru. Although Machu Picchu was grand and amazing, the other parts of the trip were just as our even more grand and amazing. The Amazon was even more beautiful than I had expected and the Andes mountains were even bigger than expected - - two of my favorite things in Peru and an easy reason to go back one day!
