Extended Inca Trail trek

This special route includes the classic parts of the Trail, but is also longer, higher and harder, taking you along wilder and more remote sections for a truly rewarding experience. It is therefore the choice of the serious trekker. This route is graded strenuous due to the harder nature of the trek, its greater length and increased altitude. You must be in good physical condition.

Lake Titicaca

Cradled in the Andes, Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake, has a magical ambience and is the birth place of the Inca Empire. You’ll visit the famous floating islands of the Uros Indians fashioned from the tortora reed before crossing the Altiplano to explore bustling Cusco, the crossroads of South America where Inca stonework and colonial architecture fuse.
