About this trip
Twenty-one days across Peru's geography, culture and history, moving between jungle, mountains and desert coast. Expect a proper mix of guided excursions and stretches of free time to explore on your own terms.
The centrepiece is the Inca Trail, a multi-day trek that earns its views of ruins, mountain scenery and cloud forest the hard way. Elsewhere the pace eases, with time to scan the Amazon canopy for wildlife from a lodge base and take in mountain vistas at a slower pace.
There's also the option to fly over the Nazca Lines if you want to see the desert geoglyphs from above.
What you'll do
- Trek the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, passing ruins, mountainscapes and cloud forest
- Stay at G Lodge Amazon and watch for wildlife in the canopy
- Optional scenic flight over the Nazca Lines
- Free time built in alongside guided excursions to explore at your own pace
- Take in mountain vistas across the Andes
- The operator runs its own treks, which it says means better conditions for porters and more consistent food, service and equipment on the Inca Trail
- At three weeks this is a long, wide-ranging trip covering jungle, mountains and coast rather than a single focused region
- The Inca Trail section is physically demanding and requires a reasonable level of fitness
Worth it if you're fit, flexible with logistics, and want to see Peru comprehensively. Think twice if you need stability or dislike nightly moves.
- Guide quality is genuinely exceptional—Elmer, Guido, Oscar, Andres, Sergio consistently praised for knowledge and personal care.
- You'll see an astonishing amount: Inca Trail, Rainbow Mountain, Amazon, Sacred Valley, Lares Trek, sand bugging, caves, wildlife like tapirs.
- Fast-paced itinerary means moving locations every single night; exhausting logistically but reviewers accept it for coverage.
- Group dynamics matter—you'll bond intensely with your cohort and become 'a family,' so group fit affects experience quality.
