We travel from Lima to Cusco and on to the Sacred Valley of the Incas to begin our acclimatisation and explore the Inca heartland.
After two nights in the Sacred Valley we begin the Inca Trail, one of the most famous treks in the world, which follows an ancient Inca pathway to the lost city of Machu Picchu.
After exploring Machu Picchu you return to Cusco and will have a full day of both guided and individual exploration to enjoy the city. Cusco is the favourite city of most visitors to Peru, as the mixture of ancient history, traditional Andean culture and a relaxed atmosphere makes it a charming place to stay.
We travel by train through the Andes to Lake Titicaca where you will head out from Puno and visit the floating reed islands of Uros before spending the night on Amantani Island as guests of a local family. The next day you visit Taquile, a very traditional island known for its weaving and knitted products, before heading back to Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca.
