Time to spare? Why not choose to extend your stay with a few
more days in Cusco, taking an extra day in the rain forest or trekking in the
remote Lares Valley?
The first is a non-trekking week in the Andes and the Amazon. From the
imperial city itself we travel to the Sacred Valley, with its colourful
markets and scattered ruins of temples and palaces.
We journey by train to Machu Picchu, following the course of the sacred
Urubamba-Vilcanota river as it plunges into a narrow gorge to lose itself
in dense tropical montane forests.
From Cusco, we fly to Puerto Maldonado for the three hour trip upriver by
motorized canoe to our lodge deep inside the famously biodiverse Tambopata
National Reserve.
