A Guide To All Inclusive Peru Vacation Packages

Thinking about all inclusive Peru vacation packages for 5, 7, or 10 days?

Below you'll find typical costs, what's usually included, sample itineraries, how to find deals, and the best all-inclusive resorts and lodges in Peru.

Typical costs for 5, 7, and 10-day packages

In Peru, “all inclusive” commonly means bundled hotels, transfers, guided tours, entrance tickets, train/bus transport, and many meals. True resort-style all-inclusive exists mainly at select lodges and boutique properties (Sacred Valley, Lake Titicaca, Amazon), while city stays (Lima, Cusco) are often half-board or breakfast-only. Prices vary by season (June–August is peak), hotel class, private vs. small-group touring, and whether domestic flights are included.

Ballpark per-person prices (double occupancy, excluding international airfare) as of this year: 5 days: $900–$2,100 for value-to-midrange; $2,300–$4,000 for upscale/luxury. 7 days: $1,300–$2,800 value-to-midrange; $3,000–$5,500 luxury. 10 days (often adds Amazon or Lake Titicaca): $1,900–$3,800 value-to-midrange; $4,200–$7,500 luxury. Expect to add $150–$300 per domestic flight leg and seasonal surcharges around major holidays.

What drives price: hotel category (3-star vs. 5-star), private guides vs. shared tours, availability of Machu Picchu entry and train time slots, and whether specialty experiences (e.g., chef-led food tours, premium dome trains) are included. As an example, a 7-day midrange plan with 4-star hotels, two domestic flights, Machu Picchu by train, most breakfasts and several lunches typically prices around $2,000–$2,600 per person in shoulder season.

What these packages usually include (and exclude)

While inclusions vary, most reputable all inclusive Peru vacation packages bundle the essentials so you can just show up and enjoy.

Typically included: airport transfers; handpicked hotels; domestic flights or overland transport; guided tours in Lima, Cusco/Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu; entrance fees; PeruRail or Inca Rail tickets; daily breakfast plus some lunches/dinners; 24/7 on-the-ground support.
At true all-inclusive lodges: full board (three meals), open bar (varies), and a menu of guided excursions are standard.
Usually not included: international airfare, some dinners in cities, optional activities (e.g., Rainbow Mountain), tips, personal shopping, and travel insurance.

How to save money and find deals

Travel in shoulder season: April, May, late September–November generally bring lower prices and good weather.
Book scarce permits early: Machu Picchu tickets and preferred trains sell out; early booking locks in better inventory and avoids costly last-minute upgrades. Check the official portal: MachuPicchu.gob.pe.
Bundle with trusted operators: Compare small-group vs. private through companies like G Adventures, Intrepid Travel, or custom specialists such as Peru For Less and Kuoda.
Watch domestic flight sales: Set alerts on Google Flights and Skyscanner; flying into Cusco early morning can reduce hotel nights in Lima.
Choose shared day tours where it makes sense: Private guides cost more; mixing small-group tours in Lima/Cusco with a private guide at Machu Picchu preserves quality while trimming cost.
Consider lodge-based “true” all-inclusive blocks: In the Amazon or Sacred Valley, full-board lodges can reduce daily spending and logistics.
Be flexible on hotel tier: A well-located 4-star often delivers 90% of the experience for much less than a flagship 5-star.
Ask for pay-in-full or early-booking discounts: Many operators offer 5–10% off for early payment or shoulder-season departures.
Compare treks vs. trains: If you’re active, lodge-to-lodge trekking packages (nearly all-inclusive) may replace train costs—see Salkantay Trekking or Mountain Lodges of Peru.

Verify Machu Picchu entry and train times before you pay the deposit.
Ask about altitude adjustments (sleep in the Sacred Valley first, then move up to Cusco).
Check cancellation terms and supplier financial protections; consider travel insurance.
Cross-check availability with operators and official sources like MachuPicchu.gob.pe.

With the right plan, all inclusive Peru vacation packages let you maximize precious time—from Lima’s world-class cuisine to the Andes and the Amazon—without sweating the logistics. Browse options, compare inclusions, and reserve key permits early so your dream trip runs exactly the way you imagined.
