Classic Peru and the Nazca Lines

18-day guided Peru rail trip with the Nazca Lines

Railbookers' Classic Peru and the Nazca Lines is an 18-day, 17-night trip through Peru, sold as an independent rail package that also includes the help of a private guide. The route covers Lima, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco, Lake Titicaca, the Colca Canyon and historic Arequipa, described as running along some of the country's most scenic rail journeys, before an extension to Paracas near the Nazca Lines. The operator's own description calls the core of the trip a 13-night adventure, so the extra nights likely cover the Nazca Lines extension, which is not detailed in the text available to us. It suits travelers who want a guided hand through Peru's Andean highlights and rail journeys, plus a look at the Nazca Lines, without joining a full group tour.
