the plan

Day 1 | Lima 

Let’s start this adventure in the enchanting city of Lima where we will dive into the rich history of the “City of the Kings.” Our friendly guide will pick us up from the hotel for a guided tour of the highlights of the city, with stories of the country’s history told along the way. Our exploration will start in the charming neighbourhood of Miraflores and continue to Plaza Mayor and ending in Callao. We’ll have the opportunity to visit the catacombs of the San Francisco Convent, providing a fascinating underground experience.

Activities start at 2pm. Please ensure your flight arrives before that or book an additional night in Lima (we can help!)
 

Day 2 | Flight to Puerto Maldonado

Our adventure takes a thrilling turn as we board the flight to Puerto Maldonado, a gateway to the lush Amazon jungle. Make your way into the heart of the jungle with a hike through the verdant wilderness – a quest to spot monkeys, butterflies, and a conversation about the forest’s significance to the local people.

We continue onto the “Caiman Search”, a boat ride along the river’s edge, searching for the elusive caimans and capybaras.

Snuggle up for a good night’s sleep at our sustainable jungle lodge, enveloped by the sounds of nature.

In the jungle, you’ll enjoy fresh homemade-style food featuring local fish, chicken and bananas.

Day 3 | Day in the Jungle

Wake up in the jungle! Sip a steaming cup of coffee as you watch the sun paint the jungle canopy in its golden hues.

The Amazon was home to over 35 native communities, each with its unique perspective on life. Learn from the locals and gain insight into their daily routines.

We’ll explore Lake Sandoval and take a 3km walk deep into the Tambopata National Reserve where we can explore the ecosystem in all its glory. Glide across the tranquil waters in a rowing canoe and keep your eye out for the jungle’s inhabitants - monkeys, squirrels, lizards, black caimans, birds, and the elusive giant river otters and the massive fresh water fish (the Paiche).

Meals include: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 4 | Flight to Cusco + transfer to Sacred Valley

Early morning wake up today to embark on a birdwatching excursion, looking for colorful parakeets, parrots, and small macaws in their natural habitat.

Day 5 |Sacred Valley – Maras Moray

Today we’re going on a captivating journey through the Sacred Valley! We’ll start the day in Chinchero, a charming town known for its bustling markets and Inca terraces where our guide will unveil the cultural significance of the market while we marvel at the vibrant textiles and handcrafted treasures. Next, our guide will take us to Moray, an archaeological site (that is a network of salt pans that gleam in the sun) where the Incas studied different crops. Then we’ll immerse in local culture with the Pachamanca Experience at the Corcor Community. The Pachamanca is a traditional meal cooked underground with hot stones (originating in the highlands) and the locals of the community are going to share this culinary experience with our group.
