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

Make the most of your South American journey with a trip to Lake Titicaca, Bolivia or the Colca Canyon in Arequipa.

The programme takes us into the heart of the Inca empire as the ancients themselves travelled: on foot. Leaving Cusco, we trek to Machu Picchu along the Inca Trail, part of a network of five hundred year-old roads linking several satellite settlements lost until quite recently in the dense forests around the sacred city, once the capital of a densely-populated Inca province.

Our trip ends in the Sacred Valley, where the Incas a legacy of magnificent religious comlexes and summer palaces, and their ancestors in the village of Willoq retain many of their forefathers’ ancient customs.
