Itinerary
Immerse yourself in the wonders of the Andes on the Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu Walk, a 10-day hotel-based trekking tour that begins and ends in Lima. Designed for active travelers who prefer comfort over camping, this itinerary offers seven unique day hikes through Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and along the famed ‘mini’ Inca Trail to Machu Picchu’s Sun Gate. With each walk, you’ll uncover hidden Inca ruins, vibrant local markets, and colonial architecture—all at a moderate pace ideal for experienced explorers and senior adventurers. The highlight is the final walk along the last stretch of the Inca Trail, culminating in a breathtaking first view of Machu Picchu. The true standout of this trip is its combination of daily adventure and the indulgence of returning to quality hotels each night, making this tour package a rare blend of cultural immersion, comfort, and spectacular trekking in the Peruvian Andes.
