A Taste of Peru gives you a little of everything in ten days: the coast, the Amazon and the Andes. After a city tour of Lima, travel south to the Ballestas Islands and the dunes of Huacachina, fly over the Nazca Lines and return to the capital. Then fly into the Amazon for three days at a Tambopata jungle lodge — canoeing on Lake Sandoval, Monkey Island and macaws at dawn — and on to Cusco for the panoramic train to Machu Picchu. One of the most varied 10-day Peru vacation packages you can take.
A Taste of Peru at a glance: 10 days of coast, rainforest and Machu Picchu. Tap any day to see the details.
Every day of your trip, with where you'll spend the night.
Day 1
Your 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 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
Leave Lima early for the bay of Paracas and sail to the Ballestas Islands, the “Peruvian Galápagos”, passing the giant Candelabra geoglyph to see sea lions, Humboldt penguins and thousands of seabirds. Continue inland to the Huacachina Oasis, a palm-fringed lagoon surrounded by towering dunes, where a dune buggy ride at sunset ends the day in style.
Day 4
Take off on a light aircraft over the desert to see the hummingbird, the monkey and the other giant figures of the Nazca Lines, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of archaeology’s greatest mysteries. Then relax on a comfortable bus journey back to Lima along the Pacific coast, arriving in the evening at your hotel in Miraflores.
Day 5
Fly from Lima to Puerto Maldonado, gateway to the southern Amazon, and transfer to the river port for a boat ride down the Madre de Dios River to Eco Amazonia Lodge. After a welcome drink and lunch, take a short walk through the forest and visit Monkey Island, where rescued monkeys live in semi-freedom. In the evening, set out by boat to spot caimans along the riverbank.
Day 6
Early breakfast and excursion to Lake Sandoval, inside the Tambopata National Reserve. Paddle a canoe across the lake surrounded by aguaje palms, looking for giant river otters, hoatzins, macaws and turtles. In the afternoon, climb the lodge’s lookout tower for sweeping views over the canopy at sunset, followed by an optional night walk.
Day 7
Early-morning bird watching around the lodge, when the forest is at its most active. After breakfast, return by boat to Puerto Maldonado and transfer to the airport for your flight to Cusco (approx. 3,400 m), the ancient Inca capital, where your driver takes you to your hotel to rest.
Day 8
Your driver takes you from Cusco through the Sacred Valley to Ollantaytambo, where you board the panoramic train along the Urubamba River. Glass ceilings frame the snow-capped peaks as the landscape turns to cloud forest. Arrive in Aguas Calientes, at the foot of Machu Picchu, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon in this mountain town.
Day 9
Take an early bus up to Machu Picchu and discover the Inca citadel with your 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 10
Transfer to Cusco airport for your morning flight to Lima. Enjoy a last day at leisure in the capital: walk the clifftop malecón of Miraflores, visit a museum or enjoy a farewell lunch with ocean views. In the evening, your driver takes you to the airport for your international flight home. End of services.
