ACTIVITY TRIPS
LAKE TITICACA & THE INCA TRAIL
16 days from £2,209 to £2,459 including flights
Ref: TPB
Classic Andean trek combining some of the world's most breathtaking
mountain scenery with fine archaeological sites
The high altiplano, which runs through the south of Peru and into
Bolivia, is a landscape of harsh, dramatic beauty and was the heartland
of the Inca civilisation. Though there are cities, roads and a railway,
everyday life on the altiplano still goes on much as it has done
for hundreds of years. We visit La Paz, the highest capital in the
world and the nearby glaciated Cordillera Real, before travelling
via azure Lake Titicaca to Cuzco, first the Incas' 'Navel of the
Universe' and later the colonial capital of the Spanish Conquistadores.
From here we explore the beautiful Sacred Valley and walk the Inca
Trail to the lost city of Machu Picchu.
