The trip "Inca Trail & The Amazon Rainforest" starts and ends in Lima. This is a trekking and hiking trip that takes 15 days taking you through Lima, Tambopata, Puno, Machu Picchu and 4 other destinations in Peru and Argentina. This is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Peru has been home to many civilisations, most notably the Incas, whose ancient cities and fortresses are still being discovered across this fascinating region. This three-part itinerary includes the Inca Trail, which takes in beautiful mountains and cloud forest as it follows a historic route to Machu Picchu, the best-preserved and most dramatic Inca ruin. It also explores the expansive landscapes of the high altiplano and the islands of Lake Titicaca and, in complete contrast, the dense jungles of the Amazon Rainforest.  Our classic Inca Trail trip is designed to give you more time to enjoy the trail by arriving to Machu Picchu in the afternoon for iconic photos and overnight in Aguas Calientes. We return the next morning, fresh and well rested, for our in-depth tour of Machu Picchu and train back to Cuzco.
