Andes Trekking Adventure to Machu Picchu
Details
We completed this in 2017 and I would love to take YOU back and see the unexplored areas of the Andes as we hike into Machu Picchu
This is an exclusive trip designed for Sterling Fitness that will appeal to anyone seeking a challenge in a remote and remarkable part of the world.
Starting in Cusco we discover the historical and cultural highlights of the area before continuing to the famed Sacred Valley. This not only allows for us to acclimatise to the altitude, but also provides a fascinating introduction to Incan culture and history before we commence our trek.
Our trekking route takes us along a little visited trail through breathtaking mountain scenery as we make our way to the foothills of the majestic snow capped peaks of Salcantay, Humantay and Huayanay. For a week we explore the stunning wilderness of the Peruvian Andes. On the final day we join the classic Inca Trail for the unforgettable sight of Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate’. Rather than rushing back to Cusco, we spend a night in nearby Aguas Calientes for a well deserved soak in the local hot springs. We allow a morning in Aguas Calientes to return to Machu Picchu to climb the challenging Huayna Picchu or enjoy the town and its cultural setting.
We then return to Cusco where will have a full day to soak up the atmosphere and witness Cusco’s biggest festival, Inti Raymi, or the Festival of the Sun.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable encounter with Peruvian culture, history and wilderness — one that gets you off the beaten track but takes in the must see sights of Cusco, the Sacred Valley of the Incas and Machu Picchu — then this is the adventure for you!
