The Inca Trail
Peru | Tour ref: PI
The Inca Trail
The Inca Trail from the Sacred Valley of Urubamba to the magical ruins of Machu Picchu is one of the world’s finest trekking routes – and one of the most famous. It offers an incredible mix of fantastic mountain views, different ecosystems from cloudforest to high altitude moorland and a series of fascinating ruins perched on incredible vantage points. Having spent a couple of days in Cusco to acclimatise and explore this must-visit city, you’ll head out into the Inca heartland and onto the trail. Breathe the fresh mountain air, cross 4000m passes and catch your first breathtaking view of the lost city of Machu Picchu. How’s that for the perfect answer to the question ‘what did you do last week?’
Leave it all to us
In the past it was possible to turn up in Cusco and hike the trail on your own. Today, in order to protect the trail, regulations are much stricter and you must travel with an officially approved company and book well in advance to secure your permit. We take care of all the logistics providing expert guides, porters and cooks as well as your camping equipment and transport.
Saver Fare Option
We have negotiated a number of special tickets with our airline partners, which can save you up to £200 per person on selected dates. To qualify the airfare needs to be paid in full at time of booking and the trip needs to be guaranteed. Please call our Travel Consultants quoting 'saver fare option' for more details.
Go for £799
Click on the ‘land only’ button above price panel to see how much this trip costs excluding flights. This is the headline price many operators use, but clearly you’ll still have to add flights on. You can book ‘land only’ trips with us and we can help you source flights separately if you desire, which may save you money, especially if you take the ‘Saver Fare’ option.
Responsible Travel
We adhere to a strict porter protection policy and ensure that our impact on the trail is minimal. £5 per booking is donated to SOS Children to help with community-based projects.
