Sample Program 5
Day 1 · International - Lima: Arrival in Lima, the capital that never fails to surprise. Depending on your arrival time, settle in and enjoy the city's world-class gastronomy.
Day 2 · Lima - Amazon Lodge: Flight to Puerto Maldonado and boat transfer to the lodge. The transition from city to jungle is immediate and radical — like switching channels in the universe.
Day 3 · Amazon Lodge: A full day of jungle activities: night walks, birdwatching at dawn, visits to macaw clay licks, and canoe rides on oxbow lakes.
Day 4 · Amazon Lodge: Another day of immersion in the world's most biodiverse ecosystem. Every walk reveals something the previous one did not.
Day 5 · Amazon Lodge - Cusco - Sacred Valley: Return to Puerto Maldonado, flight to Cusco, and descent to the Sacred Valley to begin Andean acclimatization.
Day 6 · Sacred Valley: A day to explore the valley's highlights: the ruins of Pisac and Ollantaytambo, the circular terraces of Moray, and the salt mines of Maras. For those seeking more, we can include soft adventure activities such as hiking, horseback riding, cycling, or zipline.
Day 7 · Sacred Valley - Machu Picchu - Cusco: Train to Aguas Calientes and ascent to Machu Picchu, the lost citadel of the Incas and one of the most breathtaking wonders on the planet. Arrival in Cusco late afternoon or evening.
Day 8 · Cusco: A full day in Cusco: the Qorikancha, the Plaza de Armas, the neighborhoods of San Blas, and the imposing fortress of Sacsayhuamán, where the size of the stones remains a mystery without a satisfying answer.
Day 9 · Cusco - Lake Titicaca: Journey to Puno and first sight of Titicaca — the world's highest navigable lake, with waters so deeply blue they seem invented.
Day 10 · Lake Titicaca: Boat tour to the Uros Islands, built on floating totora reed, and to Taquile Island, where time seems to stand still and the textiles say more than words.
Day 11 · Lake Titicaca - Lima: Flight to Lima. Morning in the historic center: the Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral, the Convent of San Francisco with its catacombs, and the Larco Museum. The afternoon is free to explore Lima on your own.
Day 12 · Lima: A day in modern Lima: a stroll along the Miraflores seafront overlooking the Pacific, an afternoon in Barranco with its republican architecture, and dinner at one of the restaurants that have put Lima on the world's culinary map.
Day 13 · Lima - International: Transfer to the airport for your international departure. A journey through jungle, Andes, and altiplano is not easily forgotten.
