Experience the highest navigable lake in the world - Lake Titicaca and discover the awe-inspiring journey to Machu Picchu! This 11-day adventure takes us from the vibrant capital of Lima, through the spectacular Andes and Lake Titicaca, to the historic heart of the Inca Empire in Cusco and, finally, to the legendary Machu Picchu.
As a Meetup, we travel as a group, sharing incredible experiences along the way while still having plenty of free time and optional excursions to tailor your trip according to your preferences and interests.
We are taking The Short Inca Trail. It's a one full day of hiking in the second half of the classic Inca Trail, followed by a full day spent at Machu Picchu. This is the shorter and less difficult alternative to the multi-day Salkantay trek. It is a memorable adventure with stunning views of the Andean landscape, lush rainforest and spectacular ancient Inca sites!
We also offer the The Train version - intended for people with less mobility or those wishing to glamp it a bit. The itinerary matches the Inca Trail group, except the hiking day is substituted by a comfortable train ride.
The third alternative is The Salkantay Trek. This is a 5-Day hike on the ancient and remote footpath located in the same region as the Inca Trail where massive snow-capped mountains collide with lush tropical rainforests. Those who are interested in this option, CLICK HERE.
Our journey begins in Lima, where we'll enjoy a guided sightseeing tour of Peru's capital city, followed by a free day with optional excursions. We then travel to Puno and experience the magical Lake Titicaca, including the unique Uros Floating Islands and beautiful Taquile Island.
From Puno, we'll travel to Cusco along the spectacular Route of the Sun, stopping at fascinating archaeological and cultural sites along the way. In Cusco, we'll explore the city's incredible Inca and colonial heritage and have free days to choose from several optional excursions, including Rainbow Mountain, the Sacred Valley and Maras & Moray.
The highlight of our journey is the Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. We'll hike through spectacular Andean scenery, visit ancient Inca sites including Chachabamba and Wiñay Wayna, and reach the Sun Gate for our first breathtaking view of Machu Picchu. The following morning, we'll explore the legendary citadel with our guide before returning to Cusco.
As a special bonus, you can extend your adventure with one of two optional 4-day extensions! Choose the Amazon Rainforest Adventure, where we’ll explore the Tambopata National Reserve alongside expert naturalist guides, search for giant river otters at Sandoval Lake, explore the rainforest canopy, experience a nighttime caiman safari and try traditional artisanal fishing. Or continue with the Desert Express: Lima – Paracas – Ica – Nazca, a fascinating journey through Peru’s spectacular desert coast, including the Ballestas Islands, Paracas National Reserve, the Ica desert and the mysterious Nazca Lines.
Two completely different experiences—the lush Amazon or the dramatic Peruvian desert coast!
