A word from your curator
CatherineMeet your curator
Peru is enormous, as well as its opportunities for adventures. This land of ancient wonders and vibrant culture warrants for visiting over and over to explore all its stunning regions. From the vibrant streets of Lima, through the lush Amazon in Iquitos, to the mystical allure of the Sacred Valley – Peru will ignite a sense of adventure that will stay with you forever.
A good place to start
Before you go.
A few essentials for the journey. Keep the details close and check conditions as your trip approaches.
Altitude changes the plan
Cusco is about 3,400 metres above sea level. A saved acclimation day is not a guarantee of readiness for a strenuous hike.
Read the planning notes
Allow time for the actual sleeping elevations and mountain outings in your trip. Seek personal advice from a qualified travel-health clinician; keep Vinicunca optional after a late return from Machu Picchu.
CDC: Peru elevation guidance →Choose the ticket first
Machu Picchu has three circuits and ten routes. They cover different areas, and some routes are seasonal.
Read the planning notes
Choose the route, date and entry time, then match the train and town overnight. A hotel or rail ticket does not reserve admission. Read the official circuit maps before choosing.
Tickets and connections →A country of connections
The coast, Andes and Amazon need different transport and time allowances. Iquitos is reached by plane or boat.
Read the planning notes
The longer saved route puts its final Amazon lodge day and a Cusco hotel on the same day. Arrange the boat return and flight connections explicitly; add time if they do not fit.
Read the Adventure day notes →Official planning sources checked November 5, 2026. Confirm current access and transport again for your dates.
Keep exploring
Keep discovering Peru.
Explore nine areas, from northern mountain treks to the southern coast. They cover large distances and need separate travel plans.
