Trek the inca trail

The Inca Trail is rated amongst the ten best trekking routes on Earth.  It boasts striking beauty, ancient Inca ruins and diverse ecological zones.  The trail includes very different terrain from high desert plateau to tropical Andean rainforest.  Our ultimate destination is Machu Picchu - the "Lost City" of the Incas - one of the world's most fascinating and important archaeological finds.  Other highlights include the historical town of Cusco, the Sacred Valley, the Inca site and market town of Pisac, the hot springs at Aguas Calientes and the capital city of Lima.
