- The 42 km (26 miles) long classic Inca Trail via a circular route through various Andean environments, including cloud forest and alpine tundra.
- Exploring Andean biodiversity including orchids, foxes, cocks-of-the-rock (Peru’s national bird), spectacled bears, deer, and many more species of flora and fauna.
- Impressive Inca ruins such as Wiñay Wayña and Phuyupatamarca.
- Mountaintop Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.
- Rainbow Mountain hike that was discovered for tourism only about 6 years ago!
Due to the altitude of this trip, it is highly recommended that you spend at least 2 days acclimatizing at higher altitudes.

We need minimum 4 people to run the trip at this price, else there would be an upcharge of $500.
