Overview

Trekking the Inca Trail, and then arriving at the Sun Gate above the 15th Century Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, is one of the outstanding highlights of any visit to Peru. We begin this superb 8-day walking holiday with two vital acclimatisation days, where we explore Cusco and the Sacred Valley - the former capital of both the Inca Empire and Spanish colonial government.

In the company of like-minded travellers from around the world, we then set off on the Inca Trail, the famous ancient paved pathway of the Incas, trekking from the Urubamba River to a high point at the Warmi Wanusca Pass (4200m), before descending to the Sun Gate at Machu Picchu. Averaging 10 kilometres of walking on each of 4 days this brilliant fully supported short trek provides us with spectacular views of the peaks of the Cordillera Vilcabamba.

The holiday culminates in a visit to Machu Picchu with a knowledgeable guide who will bring alive the history of the city of the Incas before we take the classic train ride back to Cusco. With 2 departures each week, we're sure we will have a trip to fit your busy schedule, but be quick to secure your permit.

BOOK EARLY for the Inca Trail!
The strict rules governing the issue of Inca Trail permits mean that these are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. In previous years, Inca Trail permits went on sale in October, and with only 500 permits per day on offer (including those for crew) they are disappearing fast.

Note that KE offer twice-weekly departures throughout most of the year giving you the best chance of getting those elusive remaining permits on the dates that work best for you.

Why not combine this Inca Trail and Machu Picchu holiday with a Galapagos Holiday?

Is this holiday for you?

This classic adventure offers a variety of trekking conditions. Most of the walking is on well-defined tracks, including sections of ancient Inca highways, which are paved with stone. You should be comfortable with walking for 5 or 6 hours each day with the occasional longer day. You will encounter some long ascents and/or descents on some days. There are also long sections of Inca built steps to negotiate on a couple of the days!

This is a fully supported trek, and you will only be required to carry your day pack each day. Our friendly camp crew will take care of all the camp chores, so when in camp you can relax, rest and enjoy the views. To help you acclimatise and enjoy your trekking holiday, we have allowed 2 nights at around 3000 metres, before we start trekking. Not only does this help you acclimatise, it also allows the chance to enjoy exploring all the sites in Cusco and around the Sacred Valley.

Why KE?

Unlike other competitors, we walk the Inca Trail and find the quietest spots. Our highly knowledgeable team of guides are the experts of this trail and we do our best to always keep you a step or two behind the crowds.

Our professional team of porters and chefs go the extra mile to ensure your comfort and all camping equipment (including an inflatable mattress), Inca Trail permit and entry to Machu Picchu is included.

We are committed to sustainable tourism and work in partnership with a number of enterprises and initiatives to benefit social and economic development in the local community.

Day 1

Meet at the group hotel in Cusco. Transfers from the airport are provided.

Show Details

Arriving in the former Inca capital of Southern Peru, we are met by our guide or a KE representative who will arrange the transfer to the group’s hotel. After checking in we are free to explore this utterly charming city. The group hotel is a short walk away from the main square - the Plaza de Armas, where there are numerous cafes, restaurants and craft shops as well as the stunning architecture left behind by both the Inca and Spanish colonial empires that made Cusco their capital city. As we are now at an altitude of 3400 metres, we will want to take it easy in order to acclimatise to the rarefied air. In the evening, we can relax in one of the excellent restaurants that overlook the square.

Day 2

Drive to the Sacred Valley of the Incas stopping off at Pisac market and then on to Ollantaytambo.

Show Details

After breakfast, we set off for an impressive drive to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The road climbs out of the valley to reveal stunning views of the Vilcabamba peaks, Salkantay Este and Huayanay – our first glimpse of the high mountains. We make a stop to visit the handicraft market at Pisac then continue our drive to Ollantaytambo. The town is built on top of original Inca foundations, and is one of the best surviving examples of Inca town layouts. We visit the spectacular ruins of an Inca fortress and temple complex set on top of steep terracing above the town before settling in to our hotel in Ollantaytambo.

Day 3

Begin the Inca Trail Trek at Km82, crossing the Urubamba River and ascending to Llactapata (2600m).

Show Details

We have a short drive to Piscaycucho also known as Km82 where we meet our porters and trek crew and start the Inca trail. This is an easy start to the hike as we trek above the Urubamba River, staying on the quieter side before crossing the river an Km88.. Upon our arrival to Chamana (2,600m), a small village that's part of the Llaqtapata Community, a warm lunch awaits us at our camp. As evening approaches you will have the option to visit the ruins of Wayna Q’ente and Llactapata. Back at camp you will be offered tea, a shower, and a warm dinner to keep you fuelled and refreshed for the trek ahead.

We make an early start to catch the sunrise on Salkantay (6271m) from a viewpoint above camp. Then, after breakfast, we say farewell to our porters and kitchen crew and begin the descent of the more than 3000 steps which lead down to the beautiful settlement of Winay Huayna, a name which means eternally young. A detour away from the main trail leads to this wonderful citadel overlooking the Urubamba River. A further hour of descent and a final 30 minute climb, takes us to the famous Inti Punku, or Sun Gate, where we will have our first, and most impressive view, of Machu Picchu, the famous lost city of the Incas. Passing through the Sun Gate, we descend past the citadel itself and then catch the bus down to the town of Machu Picchu Pueblo, formerly known as Aguas Calientes (2040m) where we spend the night at our designated hotel. This little town has a very special atmosphere, with hot springs (don’t forget to bring your swimsuit!) and a range of good restaurants and bars

Day 7

Guided tour of Machu Picchu, returning by train to Ollantaytambo and onward to Cusco.

Show Details

Today we visit Machu Picchu, the site that was lost to the jungle but rediscovered in 1911 by the Yale academic, Hiram Bingham. Declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 1983, Machu Picchu exceeds all expectations. Perched high on an inaccessible hilltop the citadel is protected by huge cliffs and the raging Urubamba River. The bus transfer up to the site takes around 20 minutes and saves us from the relentlessly steep climb. A local guide will give us an interpretive tour of Machu Picchu and we will have ample time to soak up the mystical atmosphere of this incredible site. After the tour of the main buildings and structures with our expert guide, we can walk to the Inca Bridge, discover hidden corners of the ruins, or just soak up the atmosphere of one of the most famous places on earth. We return back down to Aguas Calientes in time to catch an afternoon train back to Cusco. We check into our hotel and have time to enjoy a final evening in the city.

Important Notice

Please note that Inca Trail permits are highly restricted and sell out, months in advance. For that reason it is important to book early to guarantee that we can secure a permit for you.

IMPORTANT: Your permit will be tied to your passport details and you will need to have this with you when you join the trek. If, for any reason, you have to renew your passport, you must bring your expired passport with you as your permit will be tied to your old documentation.

Joining Arrangements & Transfers

All clients arriving in Cusco on day 1 and departing Cusco on day 8 of the trip itinerary will be met by a KE representative and provided with an airport transfer. Land Only clients must forward their flight details to the KE office. Hotel contact details together with an emergency contact number, will be provided with your booking confirmation.

Meal Plan

All breakfasts, 6 lunches and 3 dinners are included in the trip price. Where there is a wide range of dining options it makes sense to leave the choice of meals and budget to you and we have therefore not included lunches and dinners while staying in hotels in Cusco, Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu Pueblo (Aguas Calientes).

Food & Water

Drinking Water

It is not recommended to drink untreated water from the taps. If you are on a trekking or cycling holiday, water is supplied to fill up your individual bottles. This will be boiled, filtered or provided in large jerry cans or 5 litre bottles. Additionally you should take purification tablets or a filter bottle (such as a Water-To-Go bottle) to treat your water when in towns or where water is not supplied. We do not encourage the purchasing of single use plastic bottles.

On trek, the food is a mixture of local and European-style, all purchased in Peru and cooked for us by highly trained trek cooks. Breakfast includes fresh fruit, porridge, pancakes or omelette with plenty of toast and home-made jam. Lunch is usually a picnic - fresh fruit, salad and bread, cheeses, cold meats, avocado and plenty to drink. Dinner is served in the mess tent and is a delicious three-course meal.

In Cusco and in Aguas Calientes there is a wide range of restaurants cafes and bars serving excellent and varied cuisine! Meals, apart from breakfast, are not included here so you are free to make your own choice of restaurant and menu. If you are looking to sample some traditional Peruvian fare we can recommend trying Ceviche, a dish of raw fished marinated in citrus juice (the acid in the citrus juice effectively ‘cooks’ the fish), which is the unofficial national dish of Peru! The name Ceviche actually comes from the Quechua word ‘siwichi’, meaning fresh fish. Guinea Pig or ‘Cuy’ is also a common delicacy in the Andes and has been eaten at special occasions since the time of the Incas! Usually served roasted or barbequed, Guinea Pig meat has a gamey taste. It is very high in protein and low in cholesterol.

When it comes to other drinks, before and during your trek we can recommend drinking Mate de Coca. It takes a little time to acclimatise to Cusco’s 3400m elevation and one of the things that is said to help acclimatisation is supping this mildly stimulating, greenish and unusual tasting ‘tea’ made by steeping fresh coca leaves in boiling water. Those looking to celebrate the end of their holiday with an alcoholic beverage (best saved till post trek when you are fully acclimatised!) should seek out a ‘Pisco Sour’. This classic South American cocktail, made by mixing the Peruvian liquor Pisco with lime juice, egg white and bitters, is incredibly moreish!

Special Diets

Whilst we can cater for vegetarians, albeit sometimes with a more limited choice, we cannot always provide for special diets. Due to the nature of some of the trips that we operate and the countries in which we operate them, it can be very hard (and sometimes impossible) to cater for a wide range of dietary choices and you may have to supplement your meals with food/snacks from home. If you have specific dietary requirements please do speak to our sales team and they will be able to advise you whether or not we will be able to offer your specific choice. Please note that we are unable to provide separate menus and cannot accept liability for any problems arising from special dietary requirements or intolerances.

Accommodation

During the holiday there are a total of 4 nights in a comfortable and well located hotel in Cusco. We will also spend 1 night in a comfortable and well located hotel in Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley and 1 night in a comfortable and well located hotel in Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo).

Whilst trekking there will be a total of 3 nights camping where your will receive a full service from our friendly camp crew. You will sleep in roomy 2 man dome tents, with a porch, and inflatable camping mattresses are provided. All the camp equipment and luggage will be transported between camps by horses on the extended trek, and by porters on the Inca Trail, so you need only carry your day pack each day. Our camp crew will erect and dismantle the tents for you, cook, and take care of all the camp chores.

During walking days, having stayed behind to collapse camp, it is usual for the crew and the porters and/or pack animals to overtake the group during the day and you will usually arrive into camp to find it already established and the kettle on!

In camp, as well as the tents used for sleeping, there will also be a mess tent, with chairs and tables, where the group will dine (and socialise into the evening) and a toilet tent. Hot water for washing will also be provided to you in the mornings and when you arrive at the camp each day.

All accommodation is allocated on a twin-sharing basis. If you are travelling by yourself you will be paired up with another single client of the same sex. It is possible to hire a single tent while on trek for an additional cost. This must be arranged ahead of departure and is subject to availability (please note that single tent hire does not include single rooms in hotels). Depending on availability, it may also be possible to pre-book single hotel rooms. For additional hotel prices and single supplement costs please refer to the dates and prices page of the trip on our website.

Group Leader & Support Staff

The group will be led by a professional and qualified tour leader. During the trek on the Inca Trail the guide will be assisted by a crew of porters, cooks and assistant guides where appropriate. During the visit to Machu Picchu the group will be accompanied by a specialised guide.

Altitude

This holiday involves going to high altitude. During the course of your trip you will reach altitudes in excess of 3500 metres. This is not something that you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes, but it is important that we follow some simple rules in order to acclimatise successfully. Before coming on this holiday you should read the advice on trekking at high altitude. You can also talk to one of our trekking experts if you have any concerns about altitude. On this trip we carry a portable altitude chamber (PAC-bag) and/or bottled oxygen for use in emergencies.

Park Fees & Permits

The cost of your permit for the Inca Trail is included in the trip price. Please note that the Peruvian Authorities strictly limit the amount of Inca Trail Permits issued for each day and that permits are issued on a first come, first served basis. The permits are only issued against a name and a passport number. Once issued they cannot be amended, cancelled or transferred. In order to ensure your place on the Inca Trail, KE will purchase your permit as soon as the trip is guaranteed to run or when you make your booking if the trip is already guaranteed. To cover this you will be asked to pay an additional deposit at the time of booking. Once the trip is guaranteed to run, the cost of your Inca Trail permit cannot be refunded (unless we cancel the trip).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR PASSPORT AND INCA TRAIL PERMITS:

Please note that Inca Trail permits are highly restricted and sell out, months in advance. Your permit will be tied to your passport details and you will need to have this with you when you join the trek.

If you change passport between booking and travelling, you must bring your old passport with you, as your ticket will be linked to the passport details you booked with.

Machu Picchu and Inca Trail Trekking Permits

If you are booking on one of our trips or an extension that includes Machu Picchu and /or the Inca Trail please note the following.

It is important that you book as early as possible to secure a permit. Daily visitor numbers are limited and visitors must be accompanied by a guide on one of five designated 'circuits' that are walked in a one-way direction, with a maximum of 4 hours allowed with in the site. A ticket, issued by the Peru Ministry of Culture, and included in your trip cost, needs to be purchased in advance of your visit. The ticket will stipulate an entry time and one of the 5 circuits. KE will aim to book the most comprehensive Machu Picchu tour available. Tickets are linked to your name and passport number and usually sell out 2-3 months in advance. It is therefore important for you to supply us with your passport details at the time of booking to allow us to secure the required tickets.

If you are completing the Inca Trail, a set Machu Picchu circuit is included with your Inca Trail Permit.

IMPORTANT: If you change passport between booking and travelling, you must bring your old passport with you, as your ticket will be linked to the passport details you booked with.

Spending Money

We estimate that $300 will be sufficient to cover your requirements including the above mentioned non-included meals, and incidental expenses such as tips for drivers, trek crew and local guides. There are a total of 1 lunches and 4 dinners which you will need to pay for directly and we recommend you budget $10 - $25 dollars per meal. There is no need to purchase local currency (Peruvian Soles) prior to travelling. It is possible to withdraw your money in local currency from ATMs in Cusco. If you are bringing your travel money with you we recommend you bring it in the form of US dollars in cash as this provides for the easiest exchange and in emergency can even be used to purchase goods. Credit cards can be used to purchase goods and to pay for meals in Cusco and in Machu Picchu Pueblo.

Guidance on Tipping

Tipping is common in Peru, however you must remember that it is voluntary, and how much you give depends on how you feel about the service you have received. Airport baggage carriers are the only exception and tipping is compulsory. These people are unwaged and make a living by carrying your luggage. The general rule is 1 or 2 soles per bag. For hotel staff, tipping is not expected, but is welcome. For hotel porters 1 or 2 soles per bag is reasonable. Drivers of standard taxis do not usually expect a tip. As with most countries, it is usual to tip in restaurants and 10% is expected for good service.

KE always pay local crews a fair rate of pay, no matter what country they are in. Any tips they receive are separate to the wages they are paid by the company. No matter what their wages, tips are seen as a personal thank you from clients/travellers.

From our perspective, we advise local teams that tips are not a duty/prerequisite but are a bonus and that they depend on the service that was given: good service = good tip.

For the support crew on trek (guides, cooks, porters etc.), it is recommended that each client, depending on the group size, contributes around $150 to $195 to a group tipping pool (in US Dollars). More detailed information on tipping is provided prior to the trip departure.

Baggage Allowance

For this holiday you should take one piece of luggage and a daypack. Pack animals are not allowed on the Inca Trail and all baggage will be carried by porters. Each group on the Inca Trail is restricted to a maximum number of porters designated by the park authority. The limit is imposed by the Peruvian National Park Authorities and is designed to minimise the impact on the Inca Trail from the many visitors it receives. Before starting on the Inca Trail you will be provided with an ‘approved’ Inca Trail kit bag. Whilst trekking, the packed weight of this bag including your sleeping bag, should be 8kgs. It is possible to leave clothes and other items not required on trek at the group hotel in Cusco. For international flights please check your baggage allowance with your airline.

Group Size & Holiday Status

For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in the ‘Dates and Prices’ table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.

Group Members

This trip is operated by one of our international partners. Working in conjunction with them allows us to gather together sufficient numbers of like- minded adventurers to get the holiday up and running quickly. This is particularly important with the Inca Trail as permits sell out very quickly. Although KE groups on this trip are exclusively adult, on rare occasions our partner may accept bookings from families with older children.

Passport & Visas

The information that we provide is for UK passport holders.

A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required, and you should have at least 2 blank pages for each country that you visit.

For other nationalities, please refer to your own Government website for the latest information.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents including vaccinations and health certificates (see Health & Vaccinations below), and visas for your holiday. Please ensure that you check the FCDO for the latest advice for each country visited before travel.

Visa Peru

UK and USA passport holders do not require a visa for short stays. When passing through immigration you will need to request a copy of your TAM Migration form. You will need to retain this document and keep it safe, as you will be asked to produce it before you depart Peru. Please note that a paper copy of travel insurance is required for people travelling to Huaraz and the Huayhuash region.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THOSE TRANSITING THROUGH THE USA

You will require an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation), and you must get this before boarding any US-bound aircraft or ship, or entering on a land border. The fee is USD$21 and you should apply for it at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/. With the ESTA complete, the majority of British Citizen passport holders can enter the US under the Visa Waiver Programme, VWP. You will be required to have a passport with an integrated chip. Note that if you have travelled to Cuba, Iran, Syria or North Korea since March 2011* you will have to apply for a visa rather than the Visa Waiver Programme (* a full and up to date list of countries can be found on the US government website here.)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THOSE TRANSITING THROUGH CANADA

All citizens (except for USA citizens) will require an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorisation), and you must get this before boarding any Canada-bound aircraft or ship, or entering on a land border. The fee is CAD$7 and you should apply for it at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta-start.asp

Health & Vaccinations

Vaccinations

You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations or other preventive measures. On holidays to more remote areas you should also have a dentist check up. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella, along with hepatitis A and typhoid. In addition you should check whether any specific vaccinations are needed to the regions that you are travelling to. A good online resource is Travel Health Pro.

Malaria

Malarial prophylaxis is not usually required for trips in the mountains, however if you are visiting rural and remote low lying areas then they might be necessary.

Yellow Fever

There is a risk of Yellow Fever transmission in some parts of the country including the Amazon Rainforest. For more information and details of specific areas please check the Vaccine Recommendations on the Travel Health Pro website. If you have been in Peru for more than 10 days and are travelling onto Ecuador and or the Galapagos Islands you will require a Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate to enter the country.

Dengue Fever

Dengue fever is a known risk in places visited. It is a tropical viral disease spread by daytime biting mosquitoes. There is currently no vaccine or prophylaxis available and therefore the best form of prevention is to avoid being bitten. We recommend you take precautions to avoid mosquito bites.

Zika Virus

Zika virus has been confirmed as active in this country. It is a tropical viral disease spread by daytime biting mosquitoes. There is currently no vaccine or prophylaxis available and therefore the best form of prevention is to avoid being bitten. We recommend you take the usual precautions to avoid mosquito bites. The mosquitoes that transmit ZIKV are unlikely to be found above 2,000m altitude. For more information, visit the website of the National Travel Network and Centre (NaTHNaC) at https://travelhealthpro.org.uk.

Severe Allergies

If you have a severe allergy please inform the KE office before you travel. We will do all we can to help, but we cannot guarantee an allergy free environment on KE trips. You will need to carry your own treatment for the allergy with you, as 'adrenaline auto-injectors' are not carried as standard by KE leaders and staff. You should inform your leader on arrival of your allergy, and let them know where you keep your adrenaline pen.

Preparing for your Holiday

It makes a lot of sense to spend some time before coming on a trekking or climbing trip getting some additional exercise. The fitter you are, after all, the more enjoyable you will find the experience. Our treks can be physically demanding, but more as a result of altitude and terrain than distances walked. We would suggest that you adopt a weekly exercise regime. Running, cycling and swimming are good for developing aerobic fitness and better stamina. You should gradually increase your exercise leading up to departure, and in the month before setting off, we suggest that you try to fit in a number of long walks in hilly country.

Climate

The climate of Peru is very varied across different regions. For each region the determining factors are its latitude, its distance from the coast and most importantly, its altitude. The climate of the Andean valleys which corresponds to the region between 3000 and 4000 metres is characterised by hot wet summers and cool dry winters. The Southern Hemisphere winter season in the Andes runs roughly from April through to October and this is the optimum period for trekking in this part of Peru. At this time we can expect the days to be warm and generally sunny, with temperatures between 12 and 20°C (54 – 68°F). Above c. 3500m. / 11,000ft. during this season, the night-time temperatures will fall below freezing. At our highest camps we might experience night-time temperatures as low as -5°C / 23°F at any time and in mid-winter (July and August) temperatures may dip to -10ºC / 14ºF overnight. As with all mountain areas, short-lived storms can occur at any time of the year.

Travel Aware

As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's ‘Travel Aware’ campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas. The 'Travel Aware' website provides a single, authoritative source of advice for all kinds of travellers and we recommend that before travel, all KE clients visit the official UK Government website at travelaware.campaign.gov.uk and read the FCDO Travel Advice for their chosen destination. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.

KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe. Should the FCDO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation. We receive regular updates directly from the FCDO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground. If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.

Single Use Plastic

KE do not encourage the use of single use plastic items. We are ensuring that our agents all over the world are working together to reduce the problem and educate those around them. We are leading by example in our KE office by reducing our plastic use.

Lake Titicaca by Luxury Bus

4 Days

Travel by luxury tour bus from Cusco to Puno, across the Peruvian Andes to the shores of Lake Titicaca.

Forming part of the border between Peru and Bolivia, this sacred lake of the Incas at an elevation of 3830 metres was where the god Viracocha rose and created the sun, moon, stars and the first people. It is the largest navigable lake in the world. After an overnight in Puno we travel to the floating 'Totoras' reed islands of the Uros people. Here we watch them harvesting and weaving the reeds. We continue onto Amantani Islands and stay overnight in a traditional village house hosted by local families, giving us a great insight into the livelihood of these pre-Incan people. We return the following day by boat to Puno and then transfer to the nearby airport of Juliaca. This extension starts in Cusco and ends in Juliaca.

Peru Rainforest Extension

4 Days

Embark on an unforgettable journey to Tambopata National Reserve, a vast, untouched expanse of Amazonian wilderness covering 2.5 million acres.

Our Rainforest Extension is four days / three nights and allows for two full days of immersive jungle walks and scenic river excursions. A short flight to Puerto Maldonado followed by a motorized canoe ride will transport you deep into the heart of the Amazon.

In Tambopata, we’ve carefully selected two exceptional lodges, each offering prime access to breath-taking wildlife viewing opportunities. From the vibrant macaw clay lick to playful otters, curious monkeys, and a dazzling array of colourful birds, every moment in this ecosystem is a chance to witness nature at its finest. This pristine habitat is also home to the Amazon’s five top predators: the elusive jaguar, the playful giant otter, the stealthy black caiman, the majestic harpy eagle, and the formidable anaconda.

We offer a choice of a standard or luxury lodge package. Please contact us to check availability and to get a quote. The itinerary shown is an example and will differ depending on which lodge you stay at. All lodge bookings are subject to availability.

The extension starts and ends in Puerto Maldonado, with most flights connecting from Cusco. Flights are also available from Lima. We’re happy to assist with internal flights and additional accommodations in Cusco or Lima to enhance your journey.

Immerse yourself in the wonders of the Amazon—adventure awaits!

Extension Itinerary

Day 1

Arrive in Puerto Maldonado and transfer to lodge.

Show Details

Upon arrival to Puerto Maldonado, you will be transferred to the boat dock on the Tambopata River. Here we board a motorized canoe and head towards the nearby confluence of the mighty Madre de Dios River, the source of the Amazon tributary. Just 30 minutes downriver is landing at the port that will lead to Sandoval Lake. We walk a trail of 3 Km (2 mi), stopping to watch birds and butterflies, up to a narrow canal boat. From there, we navigate the flooded forest of palm trees that leads to the open waters of this peaceful lake. After a brief rest, we start again by boat to explore the entire eastern end of the lake, following the sound of hundreds of Blue-and-Yellow and Red-Breasted Macaws as they return to the palm forest for the night. Our view from the boat often allows close and extensive encounters with birds and mammals. In Sandoval Lake, the Capuchin Monkey, in particular, has nearly lost its fear of humans. We return to the lodge at dusk for dinner. Afterwards, we take the boat again, in search of caimans, which are now extremely rare in the Amazon but are still common in this protected lake. On clear nights we go by boat farther into the lake for a view of the vast southern sky, unobstructed, with its magnificent views of constellations and the Milky Way.

Day 2

Wildlife Reserve. Jungle walks and river trips. Overnight at the lodge.

Show Details

Wake up early for some coffee or tea and watch the sunrise in the early morning from the shore of the lake. Lake Sandoval is a meander abandoned by the river and, due to its particular ecosystem of calm waters, it is home to exuberant fauna, which includes, among others, giant otters, caimans and "shanshos", an exotic bird with a prehistoric appearance. After enjoying a late breakfast, we will walk the trail through the cool understory of the impressive primary rainforest that surrounds the lake. We will see the great Chestnut trees that abound here. After lunch, we rest for an hour and then explore the west side of the lake where we will have chances to observe different species of monkeys. After dinner, we will have the opportunity to spot caimans in the lake.

Day 3

Wildlife Reserve. Jungle walks and river trips. Overnight at the jungle lodge.

Show Details

Another early wake up call to watch the sunrise from the shore of the lake. Next, you will board the catamaran to explore the Western end of the lake, to look for a family of giant river otters, an endangered mammal that has found peace in these calm waters due to the absence of predators. We return to the lodge for breakfast and afterwards take a break and enjoy the panoramic view from a high point in the lake before leaving to walk through a special circuit which will investigate and learn the use of dozens of medicinal Amazonian plants. This path includes the wild jungle and a small botanical garden dedicated to the cultivation of some native species. After lunch, we take a break and prepare for a walk through the quietest and most secluded part of the forest on the north shore of the lake. In the evening we have one last opportunity to seek the Black Caiman along the lake shore or go for a short walk for your last night in the woods.

Galapagos Islands Cruise

7 Days

Create the perfect holiday-of-a-lifetime by adding an exploratory cruise of the stunning and unique Galapagos Islands

Needing little in the way of introduction, the Galapagos Islands are one of the most pristine natural environments left on Earth. Over 600 miles separate them from mainland Ecuador, meaning they have enjoyed splendid isolation and provide a habitat for a bewildering array of birds, reptiles, mammals and sea life you simply won't find anywhere else.

We have a variety of ships and itineraries and you can choose from two levels of service - Standard and Upgraded, many of which are more affordable than you may have thought. Itineraries are typically between 7 and 10 days which is the optimum length for visiting this natural paradise. During your cruise you will visit a number of the islands, each distinct and renowned in their own right. Sometimes these will be `dry` landings where you step onto a pier and at others you will make `wet` landings where you reach the island by small inflatable boats and step directly onto the beach. Every boat has a slightly different itinerary but all are focused on seeing as much of the amazing Galapagos wildlife as possible. There is also plenty of time for relaxation and for swimming and snorkelling from the boats. All of our itineraries begin and end in Quito and include the flight out to the islands.

Please contact us for details on availability, itinerary options and pricing. (Sample itinerary detailed below)

You might also want to consider our 10 day Galapagos Islands Adventure, for a more active and immersive experience of these diverse islands. This shore based trip stays in cosy small hotels and guesthouses, allowing us to experience the beaches and wildlife in the early mornings and evenings when the main tourists have disappeared on their boats. Alternatively, if you are looking for something a more luxurious why not spoil yourself on one of our Galapagos Cruises aboard the luxury Monserrat Motor Yacht.

Book this trip as a stand alone tour or in addition to any of our Latin America holidays.
