The Wonders of Peru, The Andean Explorer, and the Amazon onboard Delfin III

21-day Peru rail and Amazon river trip aboard Delfin III

Railbookers operates this 21-day, 20-night independent rail package that combines Peru's Andean Explorer train, described as 'uncompromising luxury,' with time on the Amazon aboard the Delfin III. Confirmed stops include Lima, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco, Colca Canyon, and Arequipa. As an independent rail package rather than a guided group tour, travelers move between these stops on their own. The operator's own description also references Paracas and the Nazca Lines, though these are not part of the confirmed destination list for this specific package, so travelers should confirm the exact route with Railbookers. This suits luxury seekers and photographers drawn to pairing a named luxury train with an Amazon river segment rather than an overland-only itinerary.

What to know before you look closer

  • The operator's own description for this trip mentions a 'seventeen-night' duration, Paracas, and the Nazca Lines, none of which match this pack's confirmed 21-day, 20-night duration or its Lima, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco, Colca Canyon, and Arequipa destination list. Confirm the exact itinerary, including whether Paracas or the Nazca Lines are actually included, directly with Railbookers before booking.
  • The trip's name states it includes time on the Amazon aboard the Delfin III, but the available description does not describe this segment; no detail on nights, route, or inclusions for the Amazon portion is available here.
  • The operator does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this trip, so how the 20 nights are divided between the Andean rail portion and the Amazon segment is not detailed.

Questions travellers ask

Yes. The trip includes the Andean Explorer train, described in the operator's text as 'uncompromising luxury.'
Is it escorted or independent?
Independent. Railbookers classes this as an 'Independent rail package.'
Which train is used?
The Andean Explorer. The trip's name also references time on the Amazon aboard the Delfin III, which is a riverboat rather than a train.
Where does the trip go?
Confirmed stops are Lima, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco, Colca Canyon, and Arequipa. The operator's description separately mentions Paracas and the Nazca Lines, which do not match this pack's confirmed destination list.
What does the trip cost?
From USD $18,799 per person, about $895 per day.
How long is the trip?
The structured trip data lists 21 days and 20 nights, though the operator's own description text says 'seventeen-night,' an inconsistency not resolved in the available evidence.
