Hold on to your hats, this exciting adventure takes you into the heart of the Inca Empire. From Lake Titicaca, the ancient birthplace of Inca legend, you'll venture through the Andes to Cusco, an amazing mix of spanish and Inca influences.

Machu Picchu
There’s time in the Sacred Valley for optional rafting, biking and horse riding before heading to Machu Picchu. The magnificent ‘lost city’ stands on a high saddle, dominated by the jungle-clad peak of Wayna Picchu. Seeing this iconic site will surely be a highlight.
Andes to Cusco
A bus journey takes you through the Andes to Cusco, the old Inca capital. Nearby you’ll explore the vast, ruined fortress of Sacsayhuaman and Pisac’s bustling and colourful market. Cusco is a pleasant place for families to wander around and explore.
Lake Titicaca
A short flight brings you to the shores of Lake Titicaca, where a boat will take you to the floating Uros Islands to visit the Indian villagers. The tortora reed, which grows here, is used to make their islands, houses and boats.

This shorter trip allows you to choose how to end the holiday. If you want to go the rainforest then you can. If you want to go the Galapagos Islands, you can do that too.
