On our 4 or 5 day trip you will find yourself trekking with like-minded people from all over the world. The Trail is a paradise for botanists and birdwatchers due to the rapid succession of ecological and climatic zones which are crossed.
The trail involves a spectacular ascent from high altitude mountain passes down into cloud forest. On day 4 we wake early to watch the sun rise over the ancient citadel from the "Sun Gate", the elevated entrance to the city of Machu Picchu.
Discover the walled enclosure of Santa Catalina Convent, see soaring condors at the impressive Colca Canyon, visit the curious stone burial towers at Lake Titicaca, explore Cusco and finally board the fabled train ride to the lost city of Machu Picchu.
Peru has an array of "must see" sights that are positioned to see in a logical order. Whilst the bustling city of Lima is a worth a night or two for museum lovers, many people see it as a springboard for the rest of the country. Flying southeast of Lima, the beautiful whitewashed city of Arequipa is reached, idyllically set at the foot of El Misti and Chachani volcanoes.
Peru has been home to many civilisations, most notably the Incas, whose ancient cities and fortresses are still being discovered across this fascinating region. Our three-part itinerary includes the Inca Trail, which takes in beautiful mountain and jungle scenery as we follow a historic route to Machu Picchu, the best-preserved and most stunningly situated Inca ruins.
Hike along the ancient trail of the Incas to Machu Picchu, explore the colonial jewel of Cuzco, see the condors of Colca Canyon, visit the unique island cultures of Lake Titicaca and witness the mysterious lines of the Nazca Desert.
In the 15th century Peru was the heartland of the Inca Empire with Cusco as its capital. But with the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors, the conquest of the region was completed in just a few short years. Today, Peru is rich in both Inca and Spanish colonial culture and we 'conquer' it in just a few days (minus the destruction and savagery).
The soaring peaks of the Andes and the cultural legacies of the Incas are two of Peru’s most compelling attractions. We discover both. On our trek the pace changes as we venture beyond the Inca Trail establishing a series of spectacular campsites beneath a dramatic backdrop.
Combine two great experiences... Walk the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, avoiding the crowds with your local guide. Then spend 8 days cruising around the Galapagos Islands, maximising your wildlife experience with walks, snorkelling and kayaks.
This is a trip full of stunning Andean scenery and steeped in Inca history. Watching the condors rise from the dramatic Colca Canyon is breathtaking, but nothing can quite prepare you for your first view of Machu Picchu - however many photos you have seen…
