Sorry! There are no remaining departures for "Amazon Riverboat & Machu Picchu Adventure" (SPLAR), but here are some similar trips.
Please note that for the November 25, 2019 departure a sister vessel will be used called La Perla.
If you’re looking for the perfect combination of land and river, this adventure is for you. Once you’re on board our comfortable Amazon riverboat, you’ll experience a unique cruising experience — including exotic wildlife, local culture and more! But it doesn’t stop there — after the jungle, Machu Picchu awaits. The Lost City of the Incas will provide majestic ruins and striking views of the Peruvian mountain. Choose to take part in an optional one-day hike up the Inca Trail, or if you prefer something a little more relaxing, there’s always the chance to enjoy the train.
All of the highlights, culture, access, and I-can’t-believe-we-did-that moments, all at a great price.
