Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
See the famed Machu Picchu – perched high in the Andes on a mountaintop, surrounded by mountain rainforest – and discover the secrets and history of this iconic Inca ruin.
Spend a full day exploring the floating islands of Uros (made entirely of reeds) on Lake Titicaca and make the most of the chance to meet the local Uru people who live here.
Witness the giant desert inscriptions of the Nazca Lines – one of Peru's greatest unsolved mysteries – from the viewing tower. Then, head to a local’s home in the middle of the desert for a traditional pachamanca dinner.
Visit the scenic Sacred Valley, where you’ll stop for lunch in the Huilloq community and participate in their ceremony blessing Pachamama. Listen to their life stories of the Andean highlands and learn more about their fascinating culture through a textile demonstration.
Choose to trek the One Day Inca Trail – an excellent option for those wanting to experience trekking in Peru – and see the famed Wonder of the World twice.
Is this trip right for you?
This trip visits places that are at high altitude, where it’s common for travellers to experience altitude sickness. Regardless of your age, gender and fitness, please see the ‘Medical and Health Information’ section of the Essential Trip Information for more detail.
Visitors are not permitted to explore Machu Picchu without a Machu Picchu guide (this doesn’t include your trip leader) and must follow set routes within the site. This trip includes one guided visit of Machu Picchu (approximately 1.5 to 2 hours). Your leader will provide more information to ensure you get the most out of your visit to this incredible site.
According to Machu Picchu visiting regulations all visitors to Machu Picchu must follow a pre-determined circuit within the site as a way to relieve crowding. The circuit-based entrance tickets are available on a first come first serve basis. We will do all that is possible to get everyone traveling in a group on the same route, but be aware that it is possible that members of the same group might be visiting Machu Picchu on a different circuit and not be together during this visit. Once the guided visit concludes, visitors must exit the site and personal exploration of Machu Picchu is not permitted.
Itinerary
See ancient sites and dazzling heights on a journey through Peru
Explore Peru in style on this 15-day adventure, journeying from coastal plains to ancient cities that sit on mountaintops. As you travel through Lima, Puno, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Ollantaytambo, and Aguas Calientes, uncover historic architecture, stunning Andean landscapes, Inca ruins, colourful markets and fascinating local culture. Visit the famed Machu Picchu – one of the Seven Wonders of the World – and opt to take the One Day Inca Trail trek to experience the ancient citadel from two angles. Rub shoulders with the locals with two pachamanca meals – one in the middle of the desert near the Nazca Lines in a local’s home and one in the Andean highlands community of Huilloq. With the guidance of a local leader, you’ll get beneath the surface of this captivating country and leave with a deeper understanding of Peru’s history, wildlife, cuisine and people.

Any tour can take you to see buildings and give you facts, but Luis helped us to meet the people of Peru and create memories. The best parts of our trip were getting to have a traditional dinner with a local family, having tea at Ama (which helps local single mothers), learning how the families on the Uros Islands keep their traditions alive and being welcomed and fed by the Hilloq community as if we were long lost relatives. Hiking part of the Incan Trail and visiting Machu Picchu may have been why I came, but it's the interaction with the people that make me want to return.

Best tour guide (Ubaldo) i've ever had. Well experienced and good organisation. I would recommend that trip for everybody who wants to see the best of peru. Would do the same trip again. Of course there are long driving hours involved. The accommodations were middle class. When you want premium you should book that type of trip.

Awesome tour basics with an excellent tour guide. Guide was constantly monitoring the physical level of participants because of the high altitudes involved. It was everything as advertised and more with the help of the tour guide.

Well-organized and well-paced tour with Intrepid's ethical focus shining through. Highlights included Machu Picchu, insightful cultural experiences, and excellent transport. Accommodation quality varied, but our guide, William, was exceptional—resourceful, friendly, and values-driven, ensuring a memorable trip. Improvements in hotel security and comfort would make this "comfort" tour even better.
