In the past flights around Peru required a connection in Lima, but now direct flights run between Cuzco and Iquitos from July to November on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. This allows guests to travel direct between Peru’s Sacred Valley and the Upper Amazon cutting several hours, and a connection, from the journey. Iquitos is the closest domestic airport to Nauta, the port from where Delfin Amazon Cruises depart, whilst from Cusco it is a 90 minute transfer to Sol y Luna. We highly recommend stopping in Lima at the beginning or end of your trip; Hotel B in Barranco is the city’s Relais & Chateaux hotel and has just launched a new Art Tour (plus has a couple of yachts so you can see Lima from the coast).
