Overview & Highlights
Peru's highlights and one of Brazil's top destinations, all while staying in first-class accommodation. Visit the Andean Inca capital Cusco, the Sacred Valley of the Incas and jungle-clad Machu Picchu. Fly to exotic Rio de Janeiro to complete your tour.
This luxurious private journey through Brazil and Peru captures the cultural highlights of the southern Andes of Peru and the exotic beauty of the Iguazú Falls and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Arrive in the vast metropolis of the Peruvian capital, Lima, and move on to historic Cusco, the former Inca capital and a treasure trove of meticulous Inca stonework and graceful colonial architecture. Travel onwards into the fertile Sacred Valley of the Incas and travel by rail alongside a tempestuous river through a narrow gorge leading to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu set on a sub–tropical mountain saddle above the Urubamba Valley.
Fly across the continent to Brazil where you’ll immediately notice a different culture and pace of life. You arrive in Rio to revel for a few days in this exciting outdoor city, including an adventurous jeep tour climbing through rainforest to the peak of Corcovado mountain and the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer. Once in Rio, you can easily extend your stay to visit some of Brazil’s other highlights, including the astonishing Iguazu Falls, or the wildlife wonders of the Amazon and Pantanal.
