Peru Classic Southern Loop
A gradual altitude-acclimatizing loop from Lima via the White City, Colca Canyon, and Lake Titicaca to Cusco and Machu Picchu.
Start in Arequipa at a lower altitude, then gradually ascend through Colca and Puno, ensuring you are well-acclimatized by the time you reach Cusco. This route involves several overland transfers, offering views of Andean condors, floating islands, and the Altiplano landscape. With a moderate pace, it is perfect for first-time visitors with ample time. Rainbow Mountain and Nazca are not included; if desired, they can be added as an extra day in Cusco or by swapping for a coastal route.
December to March is the rainy season in the Andes; mountain roads and train services may be affected.
