Uncover the best of Peru on this exclusive journey that blends ancient wonders with Amazonian adventure. Explore Machu Picchu alongside a private guide, dive into local culture in Lima and Cusco, then set sail through the waterways of the Peruvian Amazon. Tailor-made to your desires by a Destination Expert, every experience is planned with insight, ease, and impeccable care. Get a taste of the most biodiverse rainforest in the world aboard the Aria Amazon or Aqua Nera. Begin your journey in Iquitos, a rustic city which is the beating commercial heart of the Peruvian Amazon. This 3-night itinerary focuses on the Marañon, the Amazon River’s largest tributary, as well as other neighboring waterways, the Yarapa and Yanayacu-Pucate. Discover the habitats of these nutrient-rich waterbodies and how they — and the jungle around them — support a vast array of wildlife.
