Ready to bookSee all the country’s must-do sites and treasures, on this adventure with a trek to Machu Picchu at its heart. Finish your trip with 3 days relaxation on Lake Titicaca's private island, Suasi.
Perfect for:
Walking part of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is a once in a lifetime experience: nothing can compare to your first sighting of this mysterious lost city high in the clouds. Beyond this ancient wonder, you’ll pass through rural villages of the Sacred Valley, marvel at the Maras salt terraces and finish your trip discovering the islands of the vast Lake Titicaca, where life has remained unchanged for centuries.
What makes this experience awesome:
You’ll start your trip in cosmopolitan Cusco. With plenty to explore - from Inca temples to impressive cathedrals - get set for a sight-packed first day. After acclimatising to the altitude you’ll journey into the photogenic landscapes of the Sacred Valley, spending time with local families and climbing Inca fortress ruins.
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 to explore this famed ancient city. Then you’ll journey onwards to Lake Titicaca, criss-crossing its water by private boat, visiting the reed-woven Uros Islands, whose people have maintained their traditional ways of life for centuries, and Taquile, where the residents still speak the ancient Inca language of Quechua.
Finish your adventure with three nights at Isla Suasi, the only hotel set on a remote private island on the lake. Blissfully peaceful, with dramatic views across the water, cosy rooms and blooming gardens, this eco-lodge is a unique location for some downtime after the hikes and explorations of your trip through Peru. Savour dramatic sunsets, meet the alpacas that roam freely on the island, or simply enjoy the unmatched tranquility of the hotel. Your time on Suasi is free from organised activities, meaning you can be as relaxed or as active as you want.
Lake Titicaca is a the highest navigable body of water in the world; a vast blue expanse on the border between Peru and Bolivia. Inca mythology states that the first Inca King was born on Lake Titicaca, and that the God Viacocha rose from the lake to create the sun, stars and the first humans. Hence, this incredible place is known as the “birthplace of the Incas” and “birthplace of the sun”.
Suasi Island is the only private lake on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca. It is a unique, peaceful and secluded location, perfect for some downtime after the hikes and explorations of your trip through Peru. Isla Suasi Hotel is the only hotel on the island, meaning you can relax in complete tranquility with incredible views of the lake.
