From the Jungle to the Peruvian Andes – Honeymoon Trip 10D/9N

Early transfer to Lima airport for your flight to Iquitos.

One option is a visit to the Rainbow Lagoon, where you can spot giant water lilies (up to 6 meters wide) and a variety of bird species. Another exciting option is a night cruise on the Amazon River, where you’ll use flashlights to spot frogs, bats, owls, caimans, and other nocturnal creatures.

After this unforgettable experience, we’ll continue our journey through the Sacred Valley, enjoying breathtaking mountain views and scenic lookouts.
