Peru: Journey to Machu Picchu
April – October • Price TBA
The astonishing breadth and beauty of Peru is unsurpassed: glistening 20,000 ft. Andean peaks towering above crystalline glacial lakes, the majestic heritage of the Inca civilization, and the famed citadel of Machu Picchu. Our trip offers the ultimate Peruvian adventure: visiting ruins of Cusco – “the Archeological capital of the Americas”- exploring the Sacred Valley sites of Pisac and Ollantaytambo, and trekking for four days on the historic Inca Trail. Traverse a magnificent walkway of stones, stairways and tunnels on ridges high above the river but below snow-capped peaks of the Andes, finally reaching Machu Picchu. Spend nearly two full days immersing yourself in the awesome wonders of the “Lost City of the Incas”, before descending via railway back to Cusco for some free time to relax.
No trip to Peru would be complete without a visit to the Amazon! Add on a 4 or 5 Days in the Tambopata Rainforest Reserve, rich with wildlife including the magnificent “Macaw Lick” where hundreds of macaws and other parrots congregate.
This adventure can be customized for as little as two people! Ask for a quote today!
