Classic Peru: Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, and the Colca Canyon

Independent Peru rail journey linking Machu Picchu, Titicaca, and Colca Canyon

Railbookers runs this 14-day, 13-night independent rail package through Peru, starting and ending in Lima. The route also takes in the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco, Lake Titicaca at Puno, the Colca Canyon, and the historic city of Arequipa. A private guide travels with the trip, and Railbookers builds the route around some of the country's most scenic rail journeys rather than road transfers alone between every stop. Because it is sold as an independent package rather than a fixed-departure escorted tour, it suits travelers who want this range of destinations covered in one trip but prefer moving at their own pace between stops. At $10,449 per person for 13 nights, it is priced for travelers planning a longer, multi-region trip through Peru rather than a short introductory visit.
