Classic Peru and the Amazon onboard Aqua Nera

18-day rail and Amazon cruise trip through Peru

Railbookers' Classic Peru and the Amazon onboard Aqua Nera is an 18-day, 17-night independent trip that combines Peru's Andean highlights with a cruise into the Amazon. The route takes in Lima, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco, Lake Titicaca, the Colca Canyon and historic Arequipa, with train travel used through some of the country's most diverse landscapes. The trip then continues to the Amazon for a luxury three-night river cruise aboard the Aqua Nera, in one of the world's most biodiverse regions. As an independent package, there is no group tour manager, and Railbookers has not published a day-by-day itinerary. It suits travelers who want to pair Peru's ancient wonders with a dedicated Amazon cruise rather than choosing one or the other.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this 18-day package; confirm the order of stops and which nights are on the ground versus aboard the Amazon cruise before booking.
  • The description mentions train travel for part of the route through Peru but does not specify which legs; covering the Andes and the separate Amazon region in 18 days likely also involves flights or transfers.
