Railbookers · Independent rail package

Essential Peru and the Amazon onboard Aqua Nera

Independent Peru rail trip plus a 3-night Amazon cruise on Aqua Nera

Illustration of Essential Peru and the Amazon onboard Aqua Nera

Railbookers sells this Essential Peru and the Amazon package as an independent, 12-day, 11-night rail trip, meaning travellers arrange their own days rather than follow a tour manager. It starts in Lima, then moves through the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu and on to Cusco, described in the evidence as Peru's history-rich Andean core. From Cusco the trip flies north for a 3-night cruise aboard the Aqua Nera on the Amazon River, which the operator describes as adding a touch of luxury to the journey, before returning to Lima. It suits travellers who want Peru's classic Andean sites combined with an Amazon river cruise, without a fixed group schedule.
