AmaWaterways now sells Peru as an add-on to its Colombia river cruise. According to AmaWaterways’ itinerary page, the five-night Boutique Machu Picchu land package is available on departures from April 2027. It is listed as a post-cruise programme for Magic of Colombia, a seven-night Magdalena River sailing from Barranquilla to Cartagena.

The five nights

  • Lima: arrive and stay at The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center. Next morning, a cacao session at El Cacaotal, then Barranco and lunch at La Perlita before flying to Cusco.
  • Sacred Valley: a resort stay, which the page does not name, and a tour of Ollantaytambo.
  • Machu Picchu: Inca Rail First Class, a private guided tour of the sanctuary and dinner on the return train.
  • Cusco: textiles at Chinchero, then a walking tour taking in Koricancha, the Plaza de Armas and the cathedral.
  • Lima again: Museo Larco and lunch at its café, then departure the next morning.

The page lists 4- and 5-star hotels, daily breakfast, lunch and dinner experiences, daily guided tours and transfers within Peru. The single supplement is 50% of the per-person price.
