Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival, Cuzco

Arrival at Cuzco airport, meet your guide, and transfer to the hotel. A short walking tour of the city will be organized to help you get acquainted with the area and enjoy your first impressions. Meals: not included

Day 2 Cuzco

Cuzco, your base for the next seven days and the starting point of the famous Inca Trail, boasts a unique charm: many churches and museums are built on ancient Inca stone walls that are still visible today. You will have the opportunity to take a full-day excursion to the stunning Sacred Valley of the Incas, returning to Cuzco to rest in preparation for the Inca Trail. Meals: breakfast included (lunch and dinner not included)

Days 3 to 6 Inca Trail

Depart for the Urubamba Valley, where the 4-day trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu begins. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience: spectacular landscapes, Inca ruins, majestic mountains, and unforgettable adventure. When permits are available, you will follow the Classic Trail; alternatively, options include the Lares or Salkantay routes. In addition to the incredible Machu Picchu, you will admire Cuzco’s unique architecture and explore its lively markets. Tickets to ascend Huayna Picchu can also be purchased (to be requested at the time of booking). All trails return to Cuzco by train. Meals: 4 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 3 dinners

Days 9 to 11 Lake Titicaca and Puno

Lake Titicaca is one of the most memorable stops of the trip. During the day, you will visit the floating islands by boat and, for a truly unique experience, spend the night with the communities on the lesser-known islands of Amantani or Taquile.
