This 12-day luxury journey through Peru combines the country’s rich history, Andean landscapes, and Amazonian wilderness into a well-paced adventure. Beginning in Lima, you explore the capital’s vibrant neighbourhoods and sample local cuisine before travelling to Cusco, the former Inca capital, where guided walks reveal colonial architecture and bustling markets. Venturing into the Sacred Valley, you visit Pisac and Ollantaytambo, taking in ancient ruins set against dramatic mountain scenery. The journey culminates with a visit to Machu Picchu, where a guided tour unveils the iconic Inca citadel and its surrounding peaks. Travelling by train and on foot provides immersive views of the Andean landscape, while opportunities for moderate hiking allow closer encounters with the terrain and local culture. The itinerary continues to the Amazon region, where lodges nestled in the rainforest provide access to boat excursions, wildlife spotting, and guided walks that highlight the ecosystem’s diversity. Along the way, cultural experiences introduce traditional crafts and Peruvian cuisine, blending natural beauty with heritage. This trip balances gentle activity with comfort, offering travellers an enriching exploration of Peru’s mountains, ancient sites, and the lush Amazon, from high-altitude peaks to tropical riverbanks.

Adventure Coordinators Insider Tip:
Beyond the main ruins, terraces at sites like Pisac were designed to create microclimates, allowing different crops to grow at subtly different elevations — keep an eye out for this early example of advanced agricultural engineering
