Machu Picchu is an ancient 'lost world' in the most amazing setting, hundreds of feet above the Urubamba river deep in the Andes mountains in PERU and recently added to the Seven New Wonders of the World. Until one hundred years ago it was lost to the world, then it was discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham an American archaeologist. The well preserved Inca structures are perched seemingly by magic high in the mountains.  See news update on entry permits (July 2017)

Machu Picchu can be visited as a day trip from Cuzco or the Sacred Valley but we would recommend that you stay overnight at one of the lodges nearby in the mountains, or hike the famous Inca Trail and take your time to acclimatise. There are various train services from Cuzco including a luxury 'Orient Express' service but if you have the time and prefer to be active, take a guided trek along one of the many traditional trails through the Sacred Valley. You should spend a few days in Cuzco prior to trekking or any kind of climb into the mountains. Thankfully, permits are now limited to view Machu Picchu, it used to be that 2,000 people walked the trail every day but now, having caused massive erosion of the ruins and path, permits are only given to 500 people per day and as this also includes your guides and support staff, the number of visitors per day is usually only about 200 trekkers. There is also a 'Moonstone Trek' which takes a much less worn path to Machu Picchu, ask us for details of this alternative itinerary.

Trekking lodge to lodge to Machu Picchu - a seven day itinerary will take you along the Salkantay Trail staying at lodges all with en-suite rooms and great home cooked food. The trek is still strenuous and the highest point is over 4,600m.  Your luggage will be transported between each overnight stop by mules and you will have local guides with you throughout.

Camping trek along the Inca Trail - this is an example of an Inca Trail group trip which, with flights from London and back is 10 days long. Prices are from £2,099 per person

5 nights hotels in en suite rooms, 3 nights full-service camping with dining and toilet tents 4 days point-to-point walking with full porterage 7kg personal weight limit on Inca Trail Altitude maximum 4200m, average 3050m

This is just one variety of Inca Trail trek - there are plenty of hiking options available, some combining other parts of Peru or elsewhere in South America. There are also alternative treks around the area, so ask us for the best holiday to suit you to see Machu Picchu and the land of the Incas.
