Details

This group has a Meetup Event going to Machu Picchu. What is unique about our event is attendees get to choose the Classic Short Inca Trail, The Salcantay Trail or via The Train.

This is so we can be more inclusive with different abilities and desires, as well as different mobilities.

AND every spot is filled. Most travel (even as part of a group) takes planning in advance.

AND . . . we are planning to go AGAIN in Aug 2023.

After all . . . A bucket list trip like this will take planning to make happen.

You will have the option of

  • Salkantay Trek
  • 2-Day Inca Trail
  • The Train

The Salkantay Trek is an ancient and remote footpath located in the same region as the Inca Trail where massive snowcapped mountains collide with lush tropical rain forests. It is less travelled than the Inca Trail, with breathtaking vistas! Considered by many the better alternate to get to Machu Picchu. It is also not that heavily regulated with government taxes and fees. Hence, the good price!

The 2-day Inca Trail is the "tourist" route. We are doing the 2-day Inca Trail hike, which is the second half of the classic Inca Trek. It will be shorter and less difficult than the Salkantay Trek. The view is stunning - mostly rainforest canopy and ancient historic sights.

The Train is just as it sounds. No long hike. Travel by rail and with less effort. This is intended for those with either less mobility or those that wish to glamp it a bit.

Peru is an amazing place with many unbelievable surprises. We are sampling a little bit of everything - from the tall peaks of the Andes, to the majestic Inca ruins, to the legendary Palomino Islands near Lima (a sanctuary of sea lions, pelicans penguins and seagulls), to the famous Peruvian food and the pisco sour!!! This is indeed a trip of a lifetime! Come enjoy this beautiful country the way you want - be it with a stunning 5-day hike (Salkantay), "The Classic" (Inca Trail) or the luxury way (The Train)

For the event we will begin together with a few days in Lima and in Cusco but will reach Machu Picchu - the culmination, in different ways!
