What's this trip about?

    Travel to Peru and explore the most spectacular archaeological monument in South America, the ancient Inca site of Machu Picchu. Our Machu Picchu Explorer is a short 5-day/4-night adventure designed to complement our Galapagos small ship cruises or Peru Amazon cruise. This privately guided independent Peru tour can also be combined with other regions of Peru such as Lake Titicaca, the Amazon River or the Inca Trail Trek, to craft a custom tour of Peru. Enjoy a full day guided tour of Machu Picchu and an overnight at the famous Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Inn. Charismatic guides versed in archeology, history and Andean culture show you monumental Inca temples, traditional villages and markets of the Quechua Indians in Cusco and in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. This guided Machu Picchu tour operates on a custom basis for our clients and can begin on any day, subject to availability. As such, the Machu Picchu Explorer is the perfect Peru tour to combine with your Galapagos cruise. This trip can also be customized to forge the ultimate Machu Picchu adventure that fits your interests, ability, schedule and budget.
