Every day of your trip, with where you'll spend the night.
Day 1
Your private driver welcomes you in the arrivals hall and escorts you along the coast to your hotel in Miraflores. The rest of the day is yours: stroll the clifftop malecón, watch paragliders drift over the Pacific and enjoy a first taste of the cuisine that has made Lima one of the great food capitals of the world.
Day 2
In the morning, your private guide leads you through Lima’s UNESCO-listed historic center: the Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral and the San Francisco Monastery, whose baroque cloisters and underground catacombs hold centuries of history. The afternoon is at leisure to explore Miraflores and bohemian Barranco or enjoy lunch at one of the acclaimed restaurants that have made Lima a world capital of gastronomy.
Day 3
Fly over the Andes to Cusco (approx. 3,400 m), the ancient capital of the Incas. Your driver takes you to your hotel, where the rest of the day is yours to rest and acclimatize. Take it easy, drink plenty of water and enjoy a first evening stroll to the Plaza de Armas as the city lights up.
Day 4
Stone by stone, Cusco reveals its secrets. Your private guide leads you from the Cathedral and the golden past of the Koricancha to the impressive zigzag walls of Sacsayhuamán, overlooking the red rooftops of the city. Continue to Qenqo, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay, three sacred sites that tell the story of Inca worship, defense and water engineering.
Day 5
An early departure takes you to the trailhead of Vinicunca, the Rainbow Mountain. Walk at your own pace through the high Andes as the colors of the land intensify with every step. At the viewpoint, more than 5,000 m above sea level, bands of red, gold and turquoise stretch across the mountainside. Horses are available for part of the way.
Day 6
Spend a full day in the Sacred Valley of the Incas with your private guide. Visit Chinchero, an Andean village famous for its weavers and colonial church, admire the valley views, and continue to Ollantaytambo, whose massive Inca temple fortress and stone streets are still in use today. Spend the night in a boutique hotel in the valley.
Day 7
Board a panoramic train in Ollantaytambo and follow the Urubamba River as the landscape turns from Andean fields to cloud forest, with glass ceilings framing the snow-capped peaks. Arrive in Aguas Calientes, at the foot of Machu Picchu, and spend a relaxed afternoon in this mountain town.
Day 8
Take an early bus up to Machu Picchu and discover the Inca citadel with your private guide: the Main Plaza, the Temple of the Sun and the Intihuatana stone, set between towering green peaks above the Urubamba River. After the tour, return to Aguas Calientes and board the panoramic train back to Cusco.
Day 9
Fly from Cusco to Iquitos, connecting in Lima, and land in the largest city in the world that cannot be reached by road. Your guide welcomes you to this lively river port, with its rubber-boom mansions and the famous Iron House. Time permitting, visit the colorful Belén market and the stilt houses of its floating neighborhood.
Day 10
Board a riverboat and travel down the mighty Amazon, the largest river on Earth, to your jungle lodge. After a welcome drink and lunch, set out on a guided walk through the rainforest to discover giant trees, medicinal plants and colorful birds. As night falls, head out by boat to spot caimans and listen to the sounds of the jungle.
Day 11
A full day exploring the Amazon by boat and on foot. Look for pink river dolphins, sloths, monkeys and macaws, try your hand at piranha fishing, and visit a riverside community to learn how local families live in harmony with the rainforest. Return to the lodge for a sunset over the river.
Day 12
Watch a last sunrise over the river and visit the giant Victoria water lilies, whose leaves can reach more than two meters across. After breakfast, return by boat to Iquitos and transfer to the airport for your flight back to Lima, where your driver takes you to your hotel.
Day 13
Enjoy a final morning in Lima: visit the Larco Museum and its pre-Columbian treasures or stroll through bohemian Barranco. At the agreed time, a private transfer takes you to the airport for your international flight home. End of services.

Yes. Organized transfers, panoramic trains and guided visits keep every day comfortable. Cusco starts with a free afternoon, Rainbow Mountain is optional and the Amazon days are spent by boat.
Yes. You spend six days in Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, then fly to Iquitos for three days on the Amazon River before returning to Lima for your flight home.
The trip works all year. April to November is the dry season in Cusco and Machu Picchu, while the Amazon River is higher and easier to explore by boat from December to May.
You fly directly from Lima to Cusco (approx. 3,400 m), so the first day is planned at a gentle pace. Rainbow Mountain reaches more than 5,000 m: if you prefer more time to acclimatize, we can move it later in the trip or replace it with a relaxed day in the Sacred Valley. Drink plenty of water, avoid heavy meals on arrival and ask your doctor before you travel if you have a medical condition.
