Walk in the footsteps of the Incas on this 11 day adventure. Experience the Colca Canyon, see the King of the Andes at Condor Cross & get up close to the locals & their unique way of life on Lake Titicaca floating islands. Pump up the volume in Cusco where action & adventure await, then wrap up the experience at Machu Picchu - washed down, of course, with some Pisco Sours & good times in Peru’s culturally rich hotspots. You can choose to either trek the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, or take it easy & go by train.
