Visiting the Amazon and Machu Picchu in 8 Days

Visiting the Amazon and Machu Picchu in 8 Days
Peru is a wonderfully diverse country with
everything from the Amazon jungle to soaring
Andean peaks. With its wide variety of
landscapes, cultures, and demographics, one could
easily spend months traveling through this South
American country. However, many visitors only
have a week or two to have Short Tours in the
Amazon of Peru. If this is your situation, here
is how to make the most of your Peru vacation by
allowing you to experience Peru's two most
coveted landscapes Amazon and Andes. This travel
plan can be followed by booking with travel
companies that specialize in Peru but can also be
completed independently with some pre-planning.

On day two, fly to the southern jungle town of
Puerto Maldonado. Your plane will make a short
stop in Cuzco before carrying on for 40 more
minutes into the jungle. If you want, you can
visit Cuzco before the jungle, but that would
require purchasing additional plane tickets.
Therefore, the most economically and quickest
option is to bypass the city and head straight to
the river to catch a motorized canoe ride to your
selected jungle lodge. There are numerous Amazon
jungle lodges to choose from with various levels
of comfort and price points. On your first day in
the jungle you should consider venturing out on a
night hike or night boating excursion to look for
nocturnal wildlife.

On the third day of your Peru vacation, you'll
want to explore the mysterious and dense Amazon
rainforest. Take a canoe ride to one of the small
oxbow lakes, a good place to spot wildlife such
as caiman and parrots. In the afternoon, consider
learning about the diverse plant species found
the Amazon by visiting a local natural farm or
garden. You can stay at amazon eco lodge. On the
fourth day, spend another full day in the Amazon.
Scale up into the jungle canopy and explore the
treetops via a canopy tour. This is an exciting
way to view monkeys, sloths, and birds up close
rather than from the jungle floor far below.

?On the fifth day, you've probably seen enough of
the Amazon and are ready to move on to the second
main part of your Machu Picchu and Amazon tour by
catching a plane to Cuzco, the capital city of
the once mighty Inca Empire. Because you'll have
to make the journey all the way from the jungle,
today will be a transportation and
acclimatization day, since many visitors to Cuzco
get altitude sickness if they do not take a half
day to take it easy and adjust to the new high
heights.
