This is a journey that will take you into the realm of the condor, exploring one of the world’s deepest canyons, before our route takes us to the highest navigable lake in the world. Lake Titicaca is still home to the descendants of the ancient people who first inhabited its fertile shores thousands of years ago. From the sacred lake, we will travel north to Cusco, the capital of the greatest empire ever seen in the Americas.  The remains of Inca palaces and temples form the foundations of Spanish churches and mansions. Leaving Cusco, beyond the Sacred Valley of the Incas we will hike the Short Inca Trail to the Lost City of Machu Picchu. Our Peruvian adventure will end with four days in the most biologically diverse place on Earth – the rainforests of the Amazon basin.
