Peru in the High Country with Sky Lodge — photo 1

An eight-day circuit between Lima, the Sacred Valley and Cusco combining food, adventure and nature.

In Lima, a gastronomic walking tour of Barranco introduces ceviche and pisco sour. In the Sacred Valley, the centrepiece is Skylodge Adventure Suites: a via ferrata ascent and a night in transparent suites anchored to the mountain, with dinner. The programme continues with the guided visit to Machu Picchu by train via Aguas Calientes and, from Cusco, the excursion to the Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain, at over 5,000 m. Accommodation is offered across categories from economy to deluxe.

Booking & policies

Are the prices shown net or retail?

Rates are net (wholesale) and reserved for travel agencies and tour operators, who sign in to see them and add their own margin. Public visitors see an indicative retail “from” price; the net rate is never shown outside the B2B Portal.

What happens after I book?

When you book, we receive your booking and start working on it: it shows as “In process” and we let you know of every update. Vouchers are sent once payments have been received.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations follow Clause 7 of the Terms: more than 30 days before the service, no penalty and a full refund; 15 to 30 days, 25%; 8 to 14 days, 50%; 3 to 7 days, 75%; less than 72 hours before commencement or a no-show, 100%. Certain destinations — Patagonia, the Amazon region and high-demand dates in peak season — apply stricter terms, stated in the quotation. The schedule above is indicative: the conditions that apply to each booking are those stated in the quotation, and may be stricter in high season, on public holidays or where a service has its own policy.

Can dates or passenger names be changed after booking?

Amendment requests must reach RUMBO LIBRE at least 72 business hours before the service begins. Changes are managed subject to availability, and any resulting rate difference applies. For private services, a name change may require re-issuing the booking at the current rate.
