We present a special itinerary to trek the alternative Inca Trail in style, staying in luxury mountain lodges.
This is a once in a lifetime journey taking you through magnificent scenery on a spectacular physical, cultural and spiritual
journey.
This trip offers a unique opportunity to hike the Inca Trail in comfort, staying in enchanting
mountain lodges where you can indulge in comfort – soaking in hot springs and eating fine food. We trek a rarely used
ancient trail called the Salkantay Route in the Cordillera Vilcabamba, taking us through some of the most stunning scenery
in the world, ending at the fabled lost city of Machu Picchu, Peru’s most famous Inca ruin, where we now have two nights
to take in the surroundings. We also spend time in Cuzco, former capital of the Inca Empire; the Sacred Valley; and have a
chance to explore Lima, City of Kings.
