Summary
Experience the best of Peru on this 16-day comprehensive adventure that captures the country's jaw-dropping landscapes, cultures and delicious food. Starting and ending in Lima, you'll spend a couple of days exploring the Sacred Valley before tackling the four-day Inca Trail trek, complete with a few extra comforts to make the landings at night a bit softer. Sleep on cots with air mattresses and blankets to wake better rested, and enjoy slightly later starts and different campsites than the usual, giving you more time to spend soaking in the incredible mountain views before arriving to Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate. Next, explore the Amazon Jungle by boat and on foot in search of wildlife like monkeys and tropical birds before returning to Lima and savouring one last delicious meal next to an ancient adobe pyramid.
