Inca Trail Adventure with Rainbow Mountain

Peru

Walking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is the stuff that bucket lists are made of; a once in a lifetime experience. Nothing can compare to your first glimpse of this mysterious lost city high in the clouds, a sight you will never forget. Beyond this ancient wonder, you’ll visit the technicolour hills of Rainbow Mountain and spend time on the islands of the vast Lake Titicaca, where life has remained unchanged for centuries.

What makes this experience awesome:

• Private holiday with personal guides and private transport included
• Follow the Inca trail to the unforgettable ruins of Machu Picchu
• Visit the most important temple of the Incan world, Cusco’s Temple of the Sun
• Camp under star-speckled Andean skies as you hike towards Rainbow Mountain
• Step back in time in Ollantaytambo, the ‘Last Inca Village in Peru’, visiting a home that's been in the same family for generations
• Take in incredible views of the Peruvian Andes, from the panoramic windows of the Vistadome train
• Cruise across vast Lake Titicaca by boat, visiting the time-travel islands of Uros and Taquile

You’ll start your trip in cosmopolitan Cusco, taking in the spirit of this sacred city. With plenty to explore from - Inca temples to impressive cathedrals - you’ll have a sight-packed first day. After acclimatising to the altitude you’ll journey into the photogenic, ruin-strewn landscapes of the Sacred Valley, experiencing ancient and modern life existing side by side.

Then it’s time for the moment you’ve been waiting for: after the three-hour Inca Trail trek through waterfall-scattered forest towards the Inca Gate of the Sun, you’ll lay eyes on the mist-shrouded ruins of the enigmatic Machu Picchu for the first time. After spending the night in Aguas Calientes you’ll have a full day basking in the magic of this ancient wonderland. Then you’ll journey onwards to Rainbow Mountain, camping in the Andes along the way, before travelling onwards to Lake Titicaca, which the Incas believed was the birthplace of the sun. This vast piece of water is the largest lake in South America and the highest navigable lake in the world. You’ll spend the day visiting the reed-woven Uros Islands, where people have maintained their traditional ways of life for centuries, and Taquile, where the residents still speak the ancient Inca language of Quechua.
