Trace Peru’s great arc from Pacific capital Lima to the high Andes and into the emerald Amazon. Ease into altitude in the Sacred Valley, then ride the rails to legendary Machu Picchu for a guided exploration of terraces, temples and cloud-forest vistas. Uncover Cusco’s layered history in its plazas, cathedrals and Inca stonework.
Journey south through Andean scenery to the shores of Lake Titicaca. Meet island communities on Taquile and the floating Uros reeds, sharing textiles, traditions and lake panoramas. Evenings bring big skies, cool breezes and the unmistakable cadence of highland life.
Finish in the Amazon, where mirrored creeks and flooded forests brim with wildlife. Glide by guided skiff to spot pink river dolphins, parrots, sloths and caimans; walk terra firme trails for frogs and giant trees; and learn from local guardians of the forest. Thoughtful pacing, expert guides and handpicked stays weave city culture, Inca heritage and rainforest biodiversity into one seamless, soul-stirring journey.
Sail gently through water-laced forests with Delfin Amazon, the world’s first Relais & Châteaux cruise line on the Amazon. Here, nature leads the way and you journey as an honoured companion. There are no staged encounters—just genuine immersion led by expert naturalists, from sunrise birding to twilight safaris, and quiet moments watching pink dolphins surface at dusk.
You’re welcomed like family—not merely to a vessel, but into a home on the river. Light-filled suites frame the rainforest; refined cuisine celebrates Amazon flavours; small-group skiff outings, kayaking and seasonal forest walks reveal the region’s heartbeat. It’s slow luxury with a light footprint, letting the river’s cadence set the rhythm of each day.
