Itinerary

Day 1

Land in Lima


You land in Lima today, usually in late afternoon or evening. We love Peru's capital, but unless you can dedicate a couple of nights to explore it properly, it makes no sense to battle through traffic into the center then turn straight around in the morning. Staying at the airport helps take the edge off after a long flight and puts you in prime position to fly to the jungle tomorrow.

Day 2

Head into the Amazon jungle


Day 3

Choose how to explore


Day 4

Watch parrots flock to the clay lick


Day 5

Travel into the Sacred Valley


Day 6

Experience the valley's rich Inca culture


Day 7

Cycle between famous Inca sites


Day 8

Follow the Royal Inca Trail to Machu Picchu


Day 9

Return to Machu Picchu in the quiet afternoon


Day 10

Continue to Cusco via a weaving co-operative
