Trek to Machu Picchu 2012 - Peru

19 May 2012 to 29 May 2012

The Lost City of Machu Picchu is one of the great wonders of the world and our unique trek takes a less used route, away from the hustle and bustle of the main Inca Trail, to this iconic site.

We visit the Inca town of Ollantaytambo before starting our trek through the dramatic scenery of the Peruvian Andes and into the Sacred Valley. We will approach Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate, and have the chance to explore this remarkable place at sunrise the following morning.

This is a stunning trek which takes you off the beaten path and through some of the most spectacular and varied scenery in South America. We finish our trip with an evening in Cusco.
