A Peru itinerary should reflect how you want to spend your vacation, from exploring each stop to moving between regions. Compare the routes below by overnight stays, transfer days and what you would need to leave out, so you can decide whether seven, ten or fourteen days fits your priorities.<\/p>\n

Choose your Peru itinerary by time, route and pace<\/h2>\n

Count your days in Peru separately from your total vacation days away from home. If you are still choosing dates and setting a budget, start with our guide to planning a trip to Peru from the US<\/a>. A seven-day package can include arrival and departure days, while international travel and any extra nights sit outside that program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7 days<\/td>\nLima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, or a deeper stay in the Cusco region.<\/td>\nA separate Amazon or Lake Titicaca extension in the focused route below.<\/td>\nLimited spare time once transfers and arrival days are counted.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
10 days<\/td>\nA slower core route, or one extension such as Lake Titicaca or the Amazon.<\/td>\nCombining both extensions in the same plan.<\/td>\nMore variety, but published multi-region packages can still have consecutive early starts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
14 days<\/td>\nA slower core route with one extension and more room around connections.<\/td>\nThe assumption that every extra day needs another destination.<\/td>\nMore flexibility if you protect the extra nights instead of filling them with excursions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

These are route recommendations, not minimum stays or promises that every departure will fit. Compare the overnight locations and included services before choosing a package.<\/p>\n
