Lake Titicaca 15-Day Tours and Trips

From start to finish this holiday lived up to and beyond our expectations. The organisation of the trip by the ground staff in Peru ran smoothly throughout. The only thing that took the edge off things was learning the night before we started the trek that it had been extended by 5km due to the road being dug up. So our first day was now a 16km trek.

A true lifetime experience holiday. As others have said be prepared for long hours travelling and some early starts, but it is worth it to see the diverse spectacles Peru offers. From the wildlife of the Ballestas islands, via sand dunes and the Nazca lines to the high Andean plains, Cusco and the Inca Trail to Lake Titicaca and just for good measure we added the Amazon extension. The sense of achievement at the end of every climb on the trail and the clapping from the porters as we reached camp each night was exhilarating. The group developed a close supportive bond that helped everyone through some difficult times particularly when illness struck on the final day of the trek. All the group successfully reaching the Sun Gate was a real pinnacle. Visiting Machu Picchu the day after rather than the usual visit after a long trek at dawn was a bonus.

Wonderful trip, really. I had planned to walk the trail for a few years but was worried about my level of fitness. It was fine however. Others in the group struggled more but even those with no experience of walking at all managed to complete the trail and were well supported by our tour guide.

The holiday that everyone wishes they had been on. It really was the holiday of a lifetime. I was too scared to do the flight over the Nazca Lines but those that did, enjoyed it. The highlight was of course the Inca Trail and walking through the Sun Gate to see Machu Picchu. Lake Titicaca was a bit of a surprise to me as to the size of it and I will always be amazed at how the Island of Uros remains afloat on reeds, despite our being shown how. This holiday will stay with me forever.

where do I start!!! Peru is a country with many different places to visit, every region that we visited was totally different to the last, from seeing the Galapagos of Peru with is cute sea lions and adorable penguins to the mystery of the Nazca lines to the quiet beauty of the Inca trail, its a country that I will return to in a heartbeat.

This was my 1st Exodus trip and I would definatly go on another. The trip was really well organised and I loved every minute of it. There is a lot of travelling, but it's worth it and the treck was an amazing experience. An expensive holiday, with some expensive extras, but the prices on the tickets justify the price Exodus charges. The only negative was probems with the connections onthe way home. For anyone wanting to do the Inca Trail the extras on this trip are really worth the extra time.
