Want to hear something exciting? You can now combine an AmaWaterways river cruise with a journey to Machu Picchu!
Beginning in April 2027, AmaWaterways is introducing a new way to explore two incredible parts of South America, pairing its Magic of Colombia river cruise with a 5- or 6-day land journey to Peru.
Imagine sailing Colombia’s Magdalena River aboard the beautiful new AmaMelodia, discovering the culture and history along the way, and then continuing your adventure to Peru!
After your cruise, you’ll travel to Lima, explore Cusco and the Sacred Valley, and experience the extraordinary ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. The journey includes a scenic train ride, with options ranging from first-class rail travel to the luxurious Hiram Bingham, A Belmond Train.
And the accommodations? You can choose between two hotel collections, including beautiful boutique luxury properties or iconic Belmond hotels for an even more indulgent experience.
This is the kind of itinerary that makes me excited about travel. It brings together river cruising, cultural discovery, incredible scenery, and one of the world's most unforgettable historical sites in a single journey.
If you've been dreaming of South America, this may be the perfect opportunity to experience more than one destination in a truly memorable way.
Let's talk about making it happen! I'll help you explore the itinerary, hotel options, travel dates, and pricing to see which experience is the right fit for you.
