Itinerary

Day	Destination	Description
Days 1-2	Quito	Soak up the rich colonial atmosphere and explore narrow cobblestone streets filled with colourful markets.
Days 3-4	Amazon Jungle	From an eco-lodge base deep in the heart of the jungle, keep an eye out for colourful birds.
Days 5-7	Banos	High in the Ecuadorian Andes, this small town is an ideal place for a spot of outdoor adventuring.
Days 8-9	Cuenca	Visit the ruins of the Inca's second capital, Ingapirca.
Days 10-14	Mancora/Trujillo	Chill-out on Peru's best beaches and see the 'surfing' fishermen of Huanchaco.
Days 15-16	Lima	Check out the museums, explore the colonial streets and head out in the evening to experience the exciting nightlife of Peru's largest city.
Day 17	Pisco	Leave behind the sights of Lima and head to the Ballestas Islands off Pisco, famed as a wildlife haven.
Days 18-19	Nazca	Discover the mystery of the Nazca Desert, perhaps taking an optional flight over the famous Lines.
Days 20-22	Arequipa/Colca Canyon	Take an excursion to one of the world's deepest canyons.
Days 23-25	Cuzco/Ollantaytambo	Discover the beautiful colonial city of Cuzco and travel through the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
Days 26-29	Inca Trail	It's tough to decide which is better: amazing Machu Picchu itself, or the trekking trip to get there.
Day 30	Cuzco	Relax or enjoy adventure sports.
Days 31-33	Puno/Lake Titicaca	The world's highest navigable lake.
Days 34-36	La Paz	If multi-coloured scarves, hats with flaps, alpaca gloves and woven bags are on the shopping list, then La Paz is paradise.
