A starting plan, with connections to arrange
Give the journey room.
A six-day starting plan for Lima, Paracas, Huacachina and Nazca. Keep the return to Lima clear after the southern leg. Read each day’s notes alongside its original overnight before booking.
The ticket comes before the train
Machu Picchu circuits cover different areas. Match the exact route and entry time to the rail journey, town overnight and uphill connection.
Compare entry and connection choices →A saved day is not an access promise
Flight, boat and rail connections need separate arrangements. A Cusco acclimation day does not guarantee readiness for a strenuous mountain outing; seek qualified advice about your altitude plan.
Compare the actual overnight bases →Planning context checked November 5, 2026: official Machu Picchu circuits, PeruRail services and CDC elevation guidance. Confirm current operations for your travel dates.
