Peru Tours – Unforgettable Adventures Including Machu Picchu!
Cultural Exploration and Adventure
Tours to Machu Picchu often combine cultural exploration with adventure activities. Travelers typically begin their journey in Lima, enjoying the rich cuisine and historical sites of the capital. They then head to Cusco to acclimate to the altitude and discover its ancient temples and colonial plazas. In the Sacred Valley, visitors explore archaeological sites such as Pisac and Ollantaytambo, and visit local communities to learn about their traditions and customs.
Trekking and Nature
A key component of these tours is trekking, especially the famous Inca Trail. This multi-day hike takes trekkers through stunning mountainous landscapes, cloud forests, and ancient Inca ruins, culminating in the arrival at Machu Picchu. Trekking packages include transportation, expert guides, camping equipment, and meals, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience. Alternatives like the Salkantay Trek are also available for those seeking less crowded but equally impressive routes.
Complete Machu Picchu Experience
After completing the trek, travelers arrive in Aguas Calientes, the gateway town to Machu Picchu. From there, guided tours to the iconic Inca citadel are arranged, allowing visitors to thoroughly explore its structures and learn about its history and significance. Many tours also offer the option to hike Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain for breathtaking panoramic views. Additionally, these packages often include extra time to explore the surrounding areas and fully appreciate the cultural and natural richness of the region.
