About This Tour
A 17-day route through Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, followed by nine days deep in Manu National Park — one of the most biodiverse and least-visited parts of the Peruvian Amazon. Adapted from a small-group experience — Voyzo runs this exclusively as a private tour for your group only. Manu National Park is reached overland by bus and then boat, far deeper into the Amazon than the lodge-based Tambopata trips on Voyzo's other Peru itineraries — this is a genuinely more remote jungle experience, with over a week spent in the park itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
This itinerary is adapted from a small-group experience, but Voyzo runs it exclusively as a private tour for your group only, with professional guides throughout.
Manu National Park is reached by road and river rather than a short flight, and this itinerary spends over a week inside it — it's a far more remote, immersive jungle experience than a 2-3 night lodge stay near Puerto Maldonado.
Yes — Voyzo secures your entry ticket and train tickets as part of planning your trip, since Machu Picchu caps daily visitor numbers.
A mix of jungle lodges and camping huts along the route — this is a genuine expedition-style itinerary, not a resort-style jungle stay.
