Background

• The Classic Inca Trail
• Full morning tour of Machu Picchu
• Extra time on ‘the trail’, quieter campsites

Without a doubt the Inca Trail is, and always will be, one of the world’s awe-inspiring walks. It is not long (as far as treks go), but does go to quite a significant altitude (4200m) before dropping down to the ‘most famous pile of rocks in the world’, Machu Picchu. Steeped in mystical history, the classic trail passes many other interesting ruins before arriving at the extensive ruined ‘Lost City of the Incas’. Our itinerary allows more time than most on the trail, making the walking easier, giving you more time to acclimatise and more time to explore and learn about the history and culture surrounding this region. We visit Machu Picchu early in the morning before the crowds arrive, returning to Cusco using the Vistadome train in the afternoon. A full day is scheduled in Cusco after the trek when you can choose simply to relax in this delightful city, or try some rafting, horse riding or mountain biking.

There are alternative walks that lead to Machu Picchu, but they are not the Inca Trail. You must have a permit to walk the trail, and these are limited. Working closely with our colleagues in Cusco, we will obtain these permits for you but the earlier you book the more certain we can be to secure a permit.

Similar dates will be available in 2013.
