Start the day by exploring Ollantaytambo, a fortress of massive stone terraces that hug the mountain slopes and the site of the Incas’ greatest victory over the invading Spanish. Then, journey by Inca Rail First-Class Train deep into the Andes toward Machu Picchu gazing out at the spectacular Peruvian countryside. Upon arrival, transfer up to Machu Picchu and check into the only hotel on site, situated just steps from the Incan citadel. This afternoon, explore the ruins with your expert guide and, as you wander amid the age-old stone walls, picture life as it might have been in this majestic citadel. Alternatively (for an additional cost), you may opt to hike the Inca Trail en route. Depart early, forgoing the visit to Ollantaytambo, boarding a many-windowed Vistadome Train for the same scenic ride, but with a twist: disembark at KM 104 and set out with a guide on a hike that culminates at the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), looking out over the vast UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Sanctuary Lodge, A Belmond Hotel, Machu Picchu | Meals: BLD
Rise with the sun to walk through Machu Picchu in the early morning mist before the crowds arrive, an experience some consider the spiritual highlight of the journey. Overlooking the Urubamba River, Machu Picchu was built in the 15th century at the height of the Inca Empire. Although this “Lost City” was revealed to the rest of the world by American historian Hiram Bingham in 1911, its location was long known to locals. Its original purpose, however, remains a matter of some conjecture, as the Incas left no written records. Enjoy lunch before returning to Ollantaytambo by Vistadome Train. Continue to Cusco.
Monasterio, A Belmond Hotel, Cusco | Meals: BL
Discover Cusco on a city tour that includes the remnants of Korikancha, once a major Incan religious canter, as well as the Cathedral on the Plaza de Armas and the Santo Domingo Temple. Listen as a local expert explains how the historic clashes between the Incas and the Spanish played a role in forming today’s Peruvian culture. Later, visit the well-preserved ruins of Sacsayhuaman, an imposing fortress compiled from colossal stones. Later, enjoy time at leisure to rest or shop. This evening, dine at an elegant Cusco restaurant, where the chef gathers local ingredients for use in innovative recipes that honour Peru’s culinary traditions.
Monasterio, A Belmond Hotel, Cusco | Meals: BLD

Later this afternoon, depart for Lima. Enjoy dinner at the hotel before you retire early to rest up for the next leg of the adventure.

Pure Amazon | Meals: BLD

This may be the day you spot the Amazon’s fabled pink dolphins or go ashore to visit the residents of a local village to learn about daily life deep in the Amazon. Back on your vessel, enjoy lunch before heading out on another river foray or fish for piranha from a skiff, catching (and carefully releasing) this tenacious species. Later, gather for a chat with the your vessel’s expert guides who recount stories of life in the Amazon, followed by a farewell dinner on board.
