Peru in Style
Have you always dreamed of walking to Machu Picchu but found the thought of camping at altitude unattractive? The 6 day trek on this luxury tour in Peru uses new top class eco-lodges built deep in the heart of the Andes as you trek the magnificent Salkantay route to Machu Picchu.
Enjoy several days in Cuzco visiting the numerous ruins and soaking up the atmosphere of this amazing Inca city before travelling to the Sacred Valley where you will be based in a rustic lodge with access to a variety of activities including walking, horse-riding, tennis, spa treatments and even paragliding! This also provides vital acclimatisation time before you embark on the Salkantay Trail.
The six-day trek allows time to explore and enjoy the archaeological sites, landscapes and nature along the trail. You will enjoy tasty meals and luxurious accommodation in the company of expert guides. This specific itinerary is designed to offer a relaxed trek and a deep understanding of Inca culture and the ethnic communities en route. You will walk for six to seven hours each day including time to explore sites you pass through and to take in the unparalleled scenery. You will then arrive at Machu Picchu and have a full day to explore the site. You return to Cuzco by train. The journey continues with the first class train (day dependent) over the altiplano to Lake Titicaca where a fast boat brings you to Taquile Island, where the culture and lifestyle have remained unchanged over the centuries.
Using stylish accommodation throughout, often in historic hotels, this is the ideal way to experience this fascinating country with its many cultural sites and breathtaking mountain scenery.
