Coast, Andes, and Amazon in a Single Trip

Peru is one of the few countries in the world where, in two weeks, you can sandboard down desert dunes, sleep at 3,800m next to the highest navigable lake on Earth, summit a mountain painted in impossible colors, and wake up to the howls of the Amazon jungle.

Choose your pace: a 7-day express route centered on Cusco and Machu Picchu, the complete 10-day Southern Andes route with Arequipa, Colca and Titicaca, our real 13-day experience with coast, highlands and jungle, or the full 20-day route with the Salkantay Trek included.
