About the trip

This 11-night journey by G Adventures begins in Lima, where a museum curator leads a private tour of ancient Peruvian artefacts spanning 5,000 years. The group then flies to Cusco, traversing the Sacred Valley to visit Pisac's ruins and the salt pans of Maras, passing through the remarkable agricultural terraces at Moray. Throughout the Andean villages, local weaving co-ops and ceramic workshops offer a close look at traditional crafts.

The highlight is a guided tour of Machu Picchu, following one of several circuits designed to manage visitor numbers. From there, the trip extends into the Amazon rainforest near Tambopata. Days include visits to a canopy observation tower, a macaw clay lick at dawn, and citizen science projects assisting local environmental research. Accommodations shift between well-located hotels and rainforest lodges, with included transport by plane, train, vehicle, and motorised canoe.

National Geographic Expedition Leaders accompany the group, providing a deep understanding of the region's history and ecology alongside specialist local guides. The itinerary carefully balances structured activities with moments for independent exploration or rest within connecting lodgings.
