Inca Trek

6 days - from $1050

This is one of our shortest adventures in Peru. It will take you high into the Andes mountains following along ancient Inca trails. Our ultimate destination is the sensational ruins of Machu Picchu, perched on a mountain top overlooking the magnificent Urubamba River. Recent permit restrictions on the 'Classic' route sometimes means that we will need to use the more remote but equally challenging 'Lares" route. Whichever itinerary we end up using will see you out trekking along old Inca pathways through breath taking scenery. Our destination is the spectacular ruins of Machu Picchu, once overgrown and lost to the world until discovered in 1911 by an american explorer.

Notes: On this trip you may link up with travellers on another of our treks. Very Important In order to obtain your permit to trek the Inca Trail it is vital that you provide us with accurate details of the passport you will be travelling on in Peru. If you are travelling on a different passport from what is shown on your permit, you will be refused entry at the entrance to the trail. Book Early The Peruvian Government has introduced strict quotas on the number of permits issued for hiking the 'Classic' Inca Trail route. These can often be sold out months in advance. To apply for your group's permits, we will need your deposit and your passport details, so we ask that you book your holiday early. In the event that we are unable to obtain permits for the 'Classic' route we will use the alternative 'Lares' route, an equally challenging trek culminating in a visit to Machu Picchu.
