01

Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu

Arrival and the afternoon city tour, the Sacred Valley with the evening train to Aguas Calientes, then Machu Picchu and the return to Cusco, as in the Cusco & Machu Picchu packages.

02

Into the Amazon

Flight Cusco–Puerto Maldonado (about 55 min) · 1–2 h by boat · Overnight: jungle lodge · Meals: lunch, dinner A short flight takes you from the Andes down to the rainforest. From Puerto Maldonado you travel by motorboat along the river to your lodge in the Tambopata reserve. In the afternoon a naturalist guide leads a first jungle walk, and after dark you can join a night outing to spot caimans, frogs and insects.

03

Lakes, wildlife and the canopy

Full day of activities · Overnight: jungle lodge · Meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner An early start for a canoe trip on a rainforest lake, looking for birds, monkeys and, with luck, giant river otters. Depending on the lodge, the day may include a canopy tower, a clay lick where macaws gather, or a medicinal plant walk (activities vary by lodge).

04

Back to Puerto Maldonado and your flight

Early activity · Boat and transfer · Meals: breakfast A last early-morning wildlife walk, then the boat back to Puerto Maldonado and your flight to Lima or Cusco.
