Peru
7 DAYS / 6 NIGHTS
There’s the Peru you already know: Sacred Valley landscapes, roaming alpacas, and the legendary train through the Andes. Then there’s the Peru most itineraries miss: dinner parties rooted in Andean ritual, Lima’s cutting-edge fashion ateliers, and the women shaping the creative scene.
This trip brings them together, revealing a Peru where ancient traditions and contemporary creativity aren’t opposites, they’re part of the same story.

I love the Land
because I come from its bosom
but my arms
reach towards the sea
— Magda Portal, Peruvian Poet, 1900—1989
DAY ONE - SACRED VALLEY
We scoop you up from the Cusco airport and head straight for Peru's ancient, high-altitude heartland, the Sacred Valley.
We welcome you the Wild Terrains way: with an al fresco picnic that makes you wonder why you don’t take more girls’ trips. Pisco punch at altitude = the world's fastest friendship formula.
Post-picnic, we settle into Andenia Hotel and the evening is yours to rest and recharge because we have big plans for you tomorrow.
Meals included: lunch
DAY TWO - SACRED VALLEY
Some days just have main character energy.
Our first stop: Alqa Museo in Ollantaytambo for a conversation with art conservator Johana Sarmiento. Barely marked and tucked into a hillside street, Alqa feels less like a museum and more like being invited into the personal world Johana has created to preserve Indigenous artwork.
Next, we board the Belmond Hiram Bingham, the iconic train through the Andes that earns every bit of its reputation. Think: a gourmet lunch that holds its own against the scenery, old-world interiors that turn the journey into the destination, and a moody cloud forest slowly giving way to Machu Picchu. We explore the ruins with a Peruvian woman who has made this place her life's work before heading back to the train for dinner as the Andes catch the last of the daylight.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner
DAY THREE - SACRED VALLEY / Cusco
Today takes us 12,000 feet above sea level to the ancient ruins of Moray.
We begin the morning with the Warmi collective, a group of women preserving ancestral weaving and natural dyeing practices in the Sacred Valley. A rare invitation into their homes gives us a closer look at how weaving, farming, and cooking remain deeply connected here.
Then we sit down for lunch at chef Pía León’s celebrated restaurant MIL, a multi-course journey through Peru's mountains, forests, and high-altitude plains at a table that's worth every foot of altitude to reach.
By late afternoon, we arrive in Cusco and settle into Antigua Casona San Blas for a free evening.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch
DAY four - cusco
Cusco stacks centuries on top of one another: Inca foundations, Spanish colonial architecture, and contemporary art. We explore the city through the women who shaped it: the acllas of the Inca Empire, the revolutionary Micaela Bastidas, and writer Clorinda Matto de Turner. We end at San Pedro Market for lúcuma and fresh picarones from two of our favorite Cusqueña primas.
The afternoon is yours to get pleasantly lost among Cusco’s tiny alleyways.
Tonight, Dannia Palacín welcomes us to Oculto, her intimate restaurant tucked into a historic building where the atmosphere is as special as the food. She kicks things off with a pisco sour cocktail class before we dig into inventive Andean dishes built around local ingredients. It’s the kind of dinner party nobody wants to be the first to leave.
Meals included: breakfast, dinner
DAY five - lima
Today we trade altitude for ocean air, flying from Cusco to Lima and settling into our seaside home, Villa Barranco.
We gather on the hotel’s secret rooftop with artists from the Shipibo-Konibo community of Cantagallo, one of Lima's most significant Indigenous communities and one most visitors never encounter. We paint on tocuyo fabric using natural dyes and learn the stories behind kené, the sacred geometric patterns representing balance, healing, and the connection between nature and spirituality, passed down through generations of women in the Peruvian Amazon.
Tonight, chef and activist Karissa Becerra hosts us for a dinner party in Barranco. Turns out good food and good company are all it takes to make a city feel like home.
Meals included: breakfast, dinner
DAY six - lima
Today is for anyone who's ever justified buying an extra suitcase just to get everything home.
We step inside Chiara Macchiavello's fashion atelier at ESCVDO and Lorena Pestana's sculptural jewelry studio and it quickly becomes clear why Lima is one of Latin America's most exciting design cities.
Along the way, we'll have lunch with chef Arlette Eulert at Bruto and visit the ancient ruins of Huaca Pucllana, which rise unexpectedly from the middle of the city. The day ends at the home of fashion designer Susan Wagner for a private Wild Terrains sundowner: plenty of wine, artisanal bites, and one last golden-hour gathering.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, aperitivo
DAY seven - lima
We enjoy our last breakfast together before we head to the airport and say our goodbyes. You’ll head home with a full camera roll, a suitcase that weighs more than when you arrived, and a group chat that probably won’t go quiet anytime soon.
Meals included: breakfast

Our Partners
In Peru, the women you'll meet are the heart of the trip: chefs, gallerists, fashion and jewelry designers, outdoor guides, and Indigenous women whose knowledge runs generations deep. Every table you sit at along the way is the result of a relationship we've built with them. This means you’re doing more than just visiting Peru, you’re putting your time and money behind women-led businesses, celebrating Indigenous craft and culture, and sparking the kind of connections that linger long after you're home.

Where You’ll Sleep
You’ll stay in three hotels in peru
01. ANDENIA

VIBE: Quiet luxury, mountain retreat, soft and grounding
WHY WE LOVE IT: Woman-owned, sweeping Andes views, lush gardens with fruit trees, and cozy rooms that make altitude adjustment feel surprisingly chic. There’s also a restaurant, pool, and spa treatments available on request.
02. ANTIGUA CASONA SAN BLAS
LOCATION: Cusco, Peru
VIBE: Historic, intimate, old-world charm
WHY WE LOVE IT: Set in the heart of Cusco’s San Blas neighborhood, just steps from artisan workshops, galleries, and the city’s famous design alley. A courtyard restaurant and bar with fire pits.
03. VILLA BARRANCO
LOCATION: Lima, Peru
VIBE: Coastal hideaway, artistic, relaxed elegance
WHY WE LOVE IT: Woman-owned, ocean breezes, terracotta tiles, and a secret rooftop. Located in Lima’s most creative neighborhood, you’re only a short walk away from galleries, cafés, and some of the city’s best restaurants.
When to Visit
Peru’s dry season (May–October) is our sweet spot. Perks include: clear skies over Machu Picchu, lush green valleys, and sunnier days in Lima. We skip the rainy season (November–April) and visit when the Andes are showing off.
Weather
Peru’s weather changes dramatically depending on where you are. In the Sacred Valley and Cusco, expect warm sunny days, crisp mountain air, and cool nights once the sun goes down. Lima stays mild year-round, with cooler coastal air and the occasional moody gray morning. Layers are essential here, and you’ll be very happy you packed them.
