Why you'll love this trip
- See the incredible Machu Picchu – sitting at 2430 m in the Andes and surrounded by misty rainforest – and learn about the ancient Inca people who lived there.
- Spend time with the Uros people on Lake Titicaca and discover how they live on floating islands made entirely of totora reeds.
- Witness the giant desert inscriptions of the Nazca Lines – one of Peru's greatest mysteries – from a viewing tower, then share a traditional pachamanca dinner in a traditional mud home.
- Travel through the Sacred Valley to eat lunch in the Huilloq community, join a Pachamama blessing ceremony, hear stories about life in the Andean highlands and watch a traditional textile demonstration.
- Choose to trek the One Day Inca Trail – an excellent option to get a taste of hiking in Peru – and arrive at the Sun Gate, just as the Incas once did.

- According to Machu Picchu visiting regulations, all visitors must follow a pre-determined circuit within the site to relieve crowding. The circuit-based entrance tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We’ll do our best to get everyone travelling in a group on the same route, but be aware that it’s possible that members of the same group might be visiting Machu Picchu on a different circuit and not be together during this visit. After the guided tour, visitors must exit the site and personal exploration of Machu Picchu is not permitted.
