About the trip

From the depths of the Amazon to the heights of the Andes, this adventure takes you deep into the heart of Peru. Wake up to the calls of howler monkeys at our intimate G Lodge Amazon, spot vibrant macaws in the treetops, and glide past caimans lurking along the riverbanks. Then, shift from jungle to highlands as you sail the shimmering waters of Lake Titicaca, stepping onto floating reed islands where local communities share their traditions. Explore the Sacred Valley’s ancient ruins, then follow in the footsteps of the Incas (literally) as you walk through the legendary Sun Gate to Machu Picchu, where expert guides bring its mysteries to life.
