INCA TRAIL & THE AMAZON RAINFOREST
16 days from GBP2,318 to GBP2,668 including flights
Tripcode: TPJ
Exploration of Peru's Amazon Rainforest and the high altitude world of the Incas
The jungles and mountains of South America provided refuge to many civilisations, whose ancient cities and sites are still being discovered. The most famous of the indigenous people were the Incas, whose greatest city, Machu Picchu, stunningly situated between the Peruvian Andes and the Amazon, was rediscovered only in 1911. Our three-part itinerary includes the Inca Trail through wonderful Andean scenery, and - in complete contrast - an expedition deep in the jungles of the Amazon Rainforest. Finally, there is the high altiplano and Lake Titicaca, a landscape of harsh, dramatic beauty.
The Moonstone Trek is now available as a higher, more isolated route on this trip. Click here for more information.
