Active in the Andes
London via Lima. Price including extension from £2,008.
Having warmed up with your previous hikes and mountain biking you'll embark on the four-day porter assisted trek to Machu Picchu. This ancient trail takes you past smaller ruins along the way to Inti Punku, the Sun Gate, and your first spectacular views of the awe-inspiring citadel itself. Once amongst the ruined temples why not climb Huayna Picchu for a remarkably different view of the site?
Take in the beautiful Lake Titicaca with its floating reed islands before crossing the altiplano to Cusco. This vibrant city - 'the navel of the world' - offers a great fusion of Inca and colonial sites. Next
you'll head out into the Sacred Valley. Visit the ruins and market of Pisac, hike deserted Inca paths to ancient ruins and stay overnight in a local village house. On your final day you'll ride mountain bikes
along the valley to the Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo.
