About this trip
Fourteen days across Peru's three distinct worlds — the Amazon lowlands, the high Andes and the islands of Lake Titicaca. It's a broad sweep of the country's ecology and culture, from jungle heat to mountain altitude to daily life on the altiplano.
Machu Picchu is the centrepiece, reached either by train or, for the more adventurous, on foot via the Inca Trail or Quarry Trail. A local guide leads the group through the site itself, since independent exploration isn't allowed.
This suits travellers keen on both history and the outdoors, with a fully guided structure throughout and options to push the pace if you want a physical challenge.
What you'll do
- Explore the Amazon Jungle's ecology and wildlife
- Travel through the Andes and spend time at high altitude
- Visit the islands of Lake Titicaca
- Take a guided tour of Machu Picchu
- Optional multi-day trek on the Inca Trail or Quarry Trail with camping en route
- See everyday Peruvian life along the way
- This trip spends extended time at altitude — check the medical and health guidance beforehand
- The Amazon section is hot and humid, so bring insect repellent and light, breathable clothing
- The Inca Trail and Quarry Trail options involve strenuous hiking and basic camping, and suit those with a good fitness level; travellers choosing this route may not follow the same path or timing as those taking the train to Machu Picchu
Worth it if you want a well-run, comfortable Peru intro with quality guides and genuine cultural access. Think twice if you need flexibility or prefer solo exploration.
- Guide quality stands out: Raul and Enrique actively noticed interests, arranged local interactions.
- Small group size meant personal attention from guides without feeling crowded or rushed.
- Itinerary balances comfort travel with genuine cultural and archaeological exposure across varied environments.
- Group dynamic matters: diverse ages and nationalities work well here, but you're locked into 14 days.
