It gets a little wet at Machu Picchu January to March, but not enough to put us off.

1
LIMA - 1 night
Fly into Lima, where you’ll spend a comfortable night before an early morning flight to Cuzco.
2
SACRED VALLEY OF THE INCAS – 3 nights
From Lima, it’s an hour’s flight to Cuzco where you’ll then be transferred to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Stay three nights at Sol y Luna, surrounded by the Andean mountains, wonderfully preserved Inca villages, and living Inca culture. As well as sampling some traditional Peruvian cooking, we can organise white-water rafting and trips to little-visited archaeological sites.
3
MACHU PICCHU - 1 night
Board the Hiram Bingham train at Poroy for one of the world’s most magnificent train journeys. The train cuts through the Andes past rivers, tiny villages and weary trekkers to reach Machu Picchu. Spend a day exploring this most famous of all Inca sites then over night at the Sanctuary Lodge right at the gates to Machu Picchu. You’ll have the place to yourself the following morning.
4
CUZCO – 3 nights
The next evening, take the Hiram Bingham back to Poroy. On board, you’ll be treated to cocktails and a four-course dinner, before being met at the other end and transferred to Cuzco. Take an oxygenated room at the Monasterio for three nights: exploring the one time capital of the Inca empire, and enjoying the buzzing nightlife in one of Latin America's most compelling cities.
5
JUNGLE LOWLANDS - 3 nights
From Cuzco, you now descend several thousand metres on your flight to Iquitos in Peru’s tropical jungle lowlands. Board the luxurious M/VAqua for three nights of cruising through the pristine wilderness of the Amazon Basin with an expert naturalist guide to uncover its secrets.
6
LIMA – 1 night
At the end of your cruise, you’re transferred to Iquitos for a flight back to Lima, where you’ll have an evening of ocean-views at Miraflores Park Hotel. The next morning, we’ll fly you home or onwards to your next destination.
