About This Tour
A 14-day private route from Lima through the little-visited Nor Yauyos-Cochas reserve, Ayacucho, and remote stone forests, before joining the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu circuit. Despite the name, this is not a self-drive trip — you travel throughout with your own private driver and vehicle. The route runs through genuinely remote southern Peru (Nor Yauyos-Cochas, Pampas, Ayacucho, Pampachiri, Limatambo) that few itineraries cover, before joining the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu circuit at the end.
