Trail on this exciting Inca Trail trekking trip
Trekking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, enjoy
Colonial Cusco, and raft one of the World’s Top Ten rafting rivers,
the Rio Apurimac.
This popular travel adventure combines a
spectacular trek on an ancient Inca path to Machu Picchu with a
four-day wilderness whitewater rafting adventure. On the Apurimac
River, we raft through a 3000m deep Canyon on the true source of
the Amazon.
And there is plenty of time for sightseeing
and souvenir hunting in the former Inca Capital and bustling
colonial city of Cusco.
Adventure travel
The former Inca Capital and Spanish colonial
city of Cusco is our base for this adventure expedition. This is a
bustling place, full of culture, history, good restaurants and fun
nightlife.
Our first adventure takes us from Cusco
through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, passing the Inca Fortress
town of Ollantaytambo, before embarking on the famous Inca Trail to
the lost city of the Incas, Machu Picchu. This five day / four
night trek involves spectacular Andean scenery along an ancient
paved Inca Trail visiting many ruins en route.
The final night is spent in the colourful town
of Aguas Calientes before spending a whole day exploring the
awe-inspiring citadel of Machu Picchu. Then we return to Cusco by
luxury train and bus in plenty of time for a celebration meal. We
have a rest day in Cusco to prepare for the next phase.
Rafting adventure travel
Our next journey takes us to the start of the
Rio Apurimac deep in the heart of an impressive 3,000m deep canyon.
From here all supplies are taken for four days of rafting.
As well as being the true source of the mighty
Amazon River, the Rio Apurimac is undeniably one of the world's
hidden gems of whitewater. The Granite Canyon of the Rio Apurimac
is justifiably gaining a reputation as one of the world's top ten
rafting rivers, combining a perfect mix of exhilarating rapids and
awesome scenery.
Beginners are trained up to meet the
challenges and thrills of this non-stop adrenaline pumping ride of
a lifetime. Apart from world-class rapids the Apurimac boasts
pristine sandy beaches for camping, spectacular sun-bleached rock
formations and rare wildlife including otters, puma and the ultra
elusive Andean bear.
A final day in Cusco allows for any last
minute shopping followed by a short flight back to Lima in time to
make your international connection.
Please note:
This trip may also run in reverse with
Apurimac rafting first then the Inca Trail.
