Why this one
The Amazon and Titicaca are two of the most extraordinary natural environments on the planet — and Peru connects them in a week.
Peru beyond Machu Picchu: dawn canoe into the Manu Biosphere, nights in a jungle lodge with caimans and macaws, then the altitude-high shores of Lake Titicaca and floating Uros islands.
The rhythm
Early-morning jungle wildlife; lodge afternoons; high-altitude lake days.
The energy
Humid and primal in the jungle; ethereal and windswept at the lake.
