AmaWaterways has announced the addition of a Machu Picchu land extension to its Colombia river cruise itineraries, providing guests with the opportunity to explore the renowned Incan site as part of their travel experience.
Expanded Travel Options for Guests
The new Machu Picchu extension will be available to travelers booking the Magdalena River cruises, which are scheduled to begin in November 2024. This optional add-on allows guests to extend their journey by four nights, visiting Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu in Peru.
Kristin Karst, co-founder and executive vice president of AmaWaterways, stated, “We are thrilled to offer our guests the opportunity to combine the wonders of Colombia with the iconic Machu Picchu. This new extension provides a seamless way to experience two of South America’s most fascinating destinations in one journey.”
