Essential Peru - The Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu

Independent Peru rail trip to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu

Railbookers sells this Essential Peru package as an independent, 8-day, 7-night trip that the operator describes as a journey through the country by rail. It starts in Lima, then moves to the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and the city of Cusco, which the evidence calls historic, before returning to Lima. Because it is an independent rail package, travellers arrange their own days rather than follow a tour manager or fixed group schedule. It suits travellers who want a compact, independently arranged introduction to Peru's Andean core of Lima, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Cusco.
