Description
Your first stop on this adventurous holiday to Peru is Cuzco, ancient capital of the Inca empire, for a stay at La Casona, a former 16th century mansion. Stroll around this beautiful colonial city enjoying delicious Peruvian cuisine, conserving your energy for the next part of your adventure: a five night trek staying at the Mountain Lodges of Peru along the route. Completely off the beaten track, each luxury lodge has a hot tub - perfect after a day’s trekking along the Salkantay Trail through ever-changing Andean scenery, over high mountain passes, past ancient Inca stairways, snow-capped peaks and remote Andean communities.
Once you reach Machu Picchu you’ll spend a night at Inkaterra Machu Picchu, amidst beautiful gardens full of orchids and hummingbirds, before heading into the Amazon rainforest for three nights at Reserva Amazonica on the banks of the Madre de Dios river. Home to a wealth of wildlife, here you can explore the forest (you might even spot a jaguar), go canoeing on Lake Sandoval, and stay up late to glimpse the nocturnal species that creep into view after dusk.

Itinerary
When to travel
April to October is best for time for visiting Peru’s Andean region and main highlights. It is typically sunny in the day and cold at night due to altitude. Heavy rains last from December to end of February with January and February being the wettest months. Peru is very popular in the high season, especially during their many cultural festivals such as Inti Raymi on 24 June, so best to book well in advance.
