Alpaca Expeditions, the leading indigenous-owned and operated Peruvian Travel Specialist, introduces its new Peru Packages featuring immersive journeys from the majestic Andes Mountains to the lush tropical Amazon Rainforest.
“Since the pandemic, we’ve noticed a greater demand to explore beyond Machu Picchu, on less traveled treks and sites, from the mountains to the coast and the Amazon,” said Alpaca Expeditions’ President, Raul Ccolque. ” The itineraries we’ve crafted showcase the best of what Peru, our home, has to offer, and all at a very reasonable price. Many of our guests have returned to explore different regions with us,” Raul added.
ComprehensivePeru Packages. Alpaca Expeditions’ curated Peru Package itineraries are for travelers interested in immersing themselves in the Peruvian culture and who are prepared to trade their hiking boots for waterproof walking shoes when they transit from the mountains to jungle expeditions.
Explore Peru: from the Andes to the Amazon in one big adventure. The exquisite 10-day/ 9-night Cusco & Amazon tour combines immersive mountain and jungle adventures, allowing travelers to discover Cusco’s rich cultural and archeological heritage, explore the Sacred Valley of the Inca, hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and conquer the geological marvel of Rainbow Mountain – all before exploring Peru’s Amazon rainforest.
The transition from the Andes to the Cusco rainforest begins in Puerto Maldonado, with a journey by a motorized dugout canoe to the remote, award-winning Tampbopsts Ecolodge for a 2-night stay. The tour includes naturalist-led, guided interpretive paddle canoeing on the lake system of Condenado which is rich in birds and aquatic life, including Giant Otters and the infamous Amazon caimans, and many others.
The 3-day visit to the Cusco rainforest offers interpretive hikes in the “terra firme” forest dominated by giant Brazil nuts and native Dipteryx trees. It also includes nature walks through the lush forest in the Tampbopsts National Reserve, home to hundreds of tropical plants, trees, insects, and butterfly species. Guests can join wildlife and exotic bird-watching excursions too. They can rest at the cozy ecolodge, enjoy delicious Peruvian food, bathe in the nearby crystal-clear water stream, and have a restful sleep while listening to nature’s best playlist.
The Best of Cusco Packages and Hikes Packages are from 2 to 13 days. These packaged tours are for those who wish to dive deep into the heart of the Inca Empire. They not only include guided tours to Machu Picchu but also offer a variety of hikes showcasing the stunning diversity of the Andes highlands. From the classic Inca Trail to the lesser-known Salkantay Trek, these hikes explore ancient ruins, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant local communities.
