PERUVIAN AMAZON CRUISE W/ MACHU PICCHU EXTENSION
Overview Click map for larger sizeThe mighty and mysterious Amazon River has been an alluring dream for explorers and travelers alike. Dating back to the mid-1500s, Francisco de Orellana searched the waterways for the fabled source of Inca gold. In the late-1900s, Jacques Cousteau exposed its rich natural history to the world. Today, you have the chance to discover the native flora and fauna, Indian villages, and surrounding wilderness for yourself. After a day in Lima for guided city sightseeing, fly to Iquitos to board the DELFIN expedition riverboat for a 4-night Amazon cruise. Encounter toucans, parrots, harpy eagles, capuchin and squirrel monkeys, sloths, and manatees. Also spend some time piranha fishing, feeding the pink and grey dolphins, and interacting with locals at their villages. Add Machu Picchu to your vacation and fly to Cuzco for guided city sightseeing with visits to the MONASTERY, CATHEDRAL, and SACSAYHUAMAN. Enjoy an excursion to PISAC to visit with locals and buy local wares before visiting the Incan fortress of OLLANTAYTAMBO. Next, a train ride through the Sacred Valley ends at MACHU PICCHU for time to explore the intact fortress. After a morning at leisure in Machu Picchu, return to Cuzco for some free time followed by your return flight to Lima.
