BRIEF ITINERARY
Day 1 Lima: Arrive in Lima at any time.
Day 2 Cuzco: Take an early morning fight to Cuzco, where your local guide will meet you, and transfer you to the hotel. Relax or explore the Incan spiritual sites of Sacsayhuaman and Tambo Machay.
Day 3 Aguas Calientes: Board an early morning train with your guide and wind through the Urubamba Valley towards Aguas Calientes, at the foot of Machu Picchu. Archaeology buffs can visit Machu Picchu independently before your guided tour the following morning. Wander the local market or take a dip in the nearby hot springs.
Day 4 Machu Picchu / Cuzco: Rise early to visit Machu Picchu in the early morning light; this is the best time to view the 'Lost City of the Incas'. Walk through the site before the majority of other tourists arrive at midday, while your local guide provides a detailed interpretation of Incan history.
Day 5 Cuzco: With a friendly, colonial atmosphere, Cuzco offers nearby Inca ruins, cobblestone streets, museums, markets and churches. Rafting, horseback riding and mountain biking are possible options.
Day 6-8 Amazon Jungle (3B,3L,3D): Fly from the high Andes to Puerto Maldonado, deep in the lowlands of the Amazon jungle.
