Tripcode: APA
An in-depth exploration of Peru's civilisation of the Incas and the Amazon Rainforest, with the option of a daywalk on the famous Inca Trail
This trip's feature-packed itinerary provides an excellent introduction to Peru's huge variety of geography and history; from the immense ruins of the Incas on the barren altiplano to the dense rainforest of the Amazon Basin. From Cuzco, the timeless capital of both the Incas and the Conquistadores, we visit the Inca's most famous site, the incomparable lost city of Machu Picchu. We overnight on the world's highest navigable lake, Titicaca, and also fly down to the Amazon Rainforest for wildlife viewing.
