This tour combines the Inca Trail, one of the world’s great treks, with a taste of Peru’s diverse landscapes and cultures. Along the way, we visit Lake Titicaca, where indigenous groups inhabit floating reed islands, and the barren coastal deserts with their mysterious Nazca Lines. Cuzco is the ideal base for archaeological discovery and for embarking on the spectacular Inca Trail trek to the inspiring citadel of Machu Picchu, one of the New Wonders of the World. Our classic Inca Trail trip is designed to give you more time to enjoy the trail by arriving to Machu Picchu in the afternoon for iconic photos and overnight in Aguas Calientes. We return the next morning, fresh and well rested, for our in-depth tour of Machu Picchu and train back to Cuzco.
