With its wide variety of landscapes, cultures, and demographics, one could easily spend months traveling through this South American country. However, many visitors only have a week or two to have Short Tours in the Amazon of Peru. If this is your situation, here is how to make the most of your Peru vacation by allowing you to experience Peru's two most coveted landscapes: Amazon and Andes. This travel plan can be followed by booking with travel companies that specialize in Peru but can also be completed independently with some pre-planning. If you're arriving to Peru from an international destination, you might want to take your arrival day in Peru to explore Lima. This capital city has both a charming colonial center and a beautiful coastal walkway well worth the visit. This is also a good opportunity to try the seafood dish ceviche, a coastal Peruvian specialty. On day two, fly to the southern jungle town of Puerto Maldonado. Your plane will make a short stop in Cuzco before carrying on for 40 more minutes into the jungle. If you want, you can visit Cuzco before the jungle, but that would require purchasing additional plane tickets.

On the fifth day, you've probably seen enough of the Amazon and are ready to move on to the second main part of your Machu Picchu and Amazon tour by catching a plane to Cuzco, the capital city of the once mighty Inca Empire. Because you'll have to make the journey all the way from the jungle, today will be a transportation and acclimatization day, since many visitors to Cuzco get altitude sickness if they do not take a half day to take it easy and adjust to the new high heights.
