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.

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.
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.
Peru has an array of "must see" sights that are positioned to see in a logical order.
