“Small is beautiful: Never more than 16 travellers.”

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.
