About This Tour

A 7-day private route through Peru's Central Andes around Ayacucho — artisan workshops, pre-Hispanic ruins, turquoise canyon pools, and Andean condors — with no Cusco or Machu Picchu on the route. This trip stays entirely in Peru's Central Andes around Ayacucho — a region most Peru itineraries skip entirely in favor of Cusco. It's built around artisan communities, lesser-known pre-Hispanic ruins, and landscapes like the Millpu canyon pools, not Machu Picchu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — Voyzo runs it exclusively for your group, with your own guide and vehicle throughout.
No — this route stays entirely in Peru's Central Andes around Ayacucho, a genuinely different region from Cusco. It's built for travelers who want to see a less-visited side of Peru, not a substitute for the Machu Picchu circuit.
A traditional Ayacucho folk-art form — a portable wooden box containing hand-painted clay figures depicting religious or everyday scenes, a real local craft this trip visits artisans to see made.
Genuinely remote — this is off-the-beaten-track Peru, with basic accommodation in small Andean towns rather than the hotels you'd find around Cusco.
