Day 1 Lima's sprawling size and unique embrace of both past and present make it an unforgettably unique destination. Colonial architecture, gastronomical delights, and art are all part of the fabric of this city. Visitors flock to Plaza De Armas De Lima, the spectacular birthplace of Lima, and Huaca Pucllana, a vast adobe and clay pyramid in central Lima. Additionally, UNESCO World Heritage Site Basilica y Convento de San Francisco (St. Francis Monastery) is a can't-miss part of the historic city center. This busy metropolis faces the Pacific Ocean and its popular seaport is Callao, about eight miles from the city center.
Day 2 Cusco is the South America's oldest continuously inhabited city, the gateway to Machu Picchu and once was the capital of the Inca Empire. Make sure you get to Plaza de Armas, the main square and center of the city. Walk through the nearby San Pedro Market to find a special gift for loved ones (or yourself!) or view the Sun Temple Coricancha.
Day 3 Most commonly reached via travel from Cusco, Ollantaytambo is an Incan archaeological site in the Sacred Valley of southern Peru. The town dates from the late 15th century and is home to some of the oldest continuously-occupied dwellings in South America. Its primary attraction is the fortress ruins, and it's also a favorite starting point for the famous Inca Trail, a four-day, three-night hike to Machu Picchu.
Day 4 Machu Picchu is the most visited tourist destination in Peru. At more than 7,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains, this symbol of the Incan Empire was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 and was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.
Day 5 Machu Picchu is the most visited tourist destination in Peru. At more than 7,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains, this symbol of the Incan Empire was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 and was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.

Day 9 Exploring the Amazon Jungle in Brazil is like venturing into the heart of a living, breathing world. The Amazon Rainforest, often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth," is a lush, sprawling expanse that teems with extraordinary biodiversity. Located primarily in northern Brazil, this vast jungle covers over 5.5 million square kilometers and is home to an estimated 10% of the known species on the planet.

One of the highlights of visiting the Amazon Jungle is immersing yourself in its rich ecosystem. From guided boat tours along the meandering Amazon River to treks through dense jungle trails, the region offers unparalleled opportunities for wildlife spotting. Expect to encounter vibrant toucans, elusive jaguars, and playful pink river dolphins. For an in-depth exploration, you might consider a stay at an eco-lodge, where you can experience the forest's serenity while supporting sustainable tourism.

In addition to its natural splendor, the Amazon is a cultural treasure trove. Indigenous communities, such as the Yanomami and Kayapo, live in harmony with their environment and offer visitors unique insights into traditional practices and crafts. Engaging with these communities through responsible tourism initiatives helps preserve their heritage and fosters a deeper understanding of their way of life.

Fun Fact: The Amazon Rainforest is so vast that it influences global weather patterns. Its dense vegetation releases moisture into the atmosphere, which helps regulate the Earth's climate. So, by visiting the Amazon, you're not only experiencing its natural beauty but also contributing to the health of the planet.

Whether you're an adventure seeker or a nature enthusiast, the Amazon Jungle offers an unparalleled journey into one of the world's most vital and vibrant ecosystems.
