Active in the Andes - 15 days
Take in the beautiful Lake Titicaca with its floating reed islands before crossing the altiplano to Cusco. This vibrant city - ‘the navel of the world’ - offers a great fusion of Inca and colonial sites. Next you’ll head out into the Sacred Valley. Visit the ruins and market of Pisac, hike deserted Inca paths to ancient ruins and stay overnight in a local village house. On your final day you’ll ride mountain bikes along the valley to the Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo.
Having warmed up with your previous hikes and mountain biking you’ll embark on the four-day porter assisted trek to Machu Picchu. This ancient trail takes you past smaller ruins along the way to Inti Punku, the Sun Gate, and your first spectacular views of the aweinspiring citadel itself. Once amongst the ruined temples why not climb Huayna Picchu for a remarkably different view of the site?

The High Inca Trail - 15 days
Cradled in the Andes, Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake, has a magical ambience and is the birth place of the Inca Empire. You’ll visit the famous floating islands of the Uros Indians fashioned from the tortora reed before crossing the Altiplano to explore bustling Cusco, the crossroads of South America where Inca stonework and colonial architecture fuse.
Whilst most trekkers opt for a four-day trek, you will experience the best of the Andes on a less-trekked and higher seven-day trail, encompassing spectacular views of Salkantay. Camp at the foot of the 5800m glaciated peak of Huamantay, cross a 5000m pass and marvel at the majesty of the Andes before trekking between Inca outposts on the way to mystical Machu Picchu.
