Grand Tour of Peru including the Amazon onboard the Aqua Nera

Railbookers sells Grand Tour of Peru including the Amazon onboard the Aqua Nera as an independent rail package, meaning travelers make their own way rather than joining an escorted group. The trip runs 21 days and 20 nights, starting in Lima and travelling through the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu, Cusco, Puno, Colca Canyon and Arequipa, returning to Lima between legs. From Lima the trip also includes a three-night cruise on the Amazon aboard the Aqua Nera, a stretch of desert the operator's description names as the Atacama Desert, the Nazca Lines, and a cruise around the Ballestas Islands near Paracas. Railbookers describes the trip as including scenic rail journeys and private tours throughout. It suits travelers planning one long, wide-ranging trip through Peru's mountains, desert and Amazon rather than a single-region stay. The available description does not break down the day-by-day schedule, hotels or which meals are included, so confirm those directly with Railbookers.
