Sightseeing  :  Peru  :  Lima  :  Lima  :  Multi-day Tours

Embark on the trip of a lifetime with a 15-day journey from Peru to Bolivia, including Machu Picchu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Travel from the coastal shores of Lima to the cobblestone streets of La Paz, with an eco-lodge stay in the Amazon Jungle and a homestay on the islands of Lake Titicaca. Opt to hike the 4-day Inca Trail or the 3-day Quarry Trail to world-famous Machu Picchu – not to be missed!Your 15-day adventure from Lima to La Paz includes a flight to and from Peru’s Amazon rainforest plus transport by minibus, motorboat, canoe, public bus and ferry! Take a guided walking tour of Lima’s historical downtown as well as the indigenous and colonial architecture of UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cusco. Enjoy personal attention from your expert guide on this small-group tour, limited to 12 people.
Select from two options to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Machu Picchu:

• Hike the Classic Inca Trail for four days, with overnight camping for three nights (arriving at Machu Picchu on foot)
• Hike the Inca Quarry Trail for three days, with overnight camping for two nights (train to Aguas Calientes and bus to Machu Picchu)

Both the 28-mile (45 km) Inca Trail and the 16-mile (26 km) Quarry Trail require a reasonable level of fitness. Accommodation on each trek is camping (with basic facilities) in double tents (twin-share), using foam camping mats provided. Tents are set up by porters and simple meals are prepared by your trek cook. (On the Quarry Trail, your personal and camping gear is carried by horses instead of porters).

In addition to hotel accommodations and optional camping, enjoy two nights at an Amazon Jungle lodge near Puerto Maldonado and one night at a homestay on Lake Titicaca near Puno. Expect simple meals: a basic daily breakfast – such as bread, butter, jam, coffee/tea and juice – plus five lunches and five dinners.
