The river canyons and Inca trails of Peru are calling! This multi-sport adventure meets in Cusco where you will enjoy two days in a beautiful, restored colonial hotel and have ample time to sightsee, shop, and acclimate to the altitude. Then, grab a paddle and get ready for a 3 day thrilling whitewater descent through the deep, rugged canyon of the Apurimac River. Camping out on sandy beaches by night, plunging down Class 4 rapids by day!
We employ the most experienced guides with solid backgrounds in safety and swiftwater rescue and include safety kayakers on every trip.
From this majestic canyon we travel to the dreamy Sacred Valley of the Incas for a rollicking exciting cross country and downhill mountain bike ride on dirt roads and single track trails, passing small villages and ancient Inca ruins. After overnighting in a cozy lodge we lace up the hiking boots and hit the famous Inca Trail. Our gourmet service makes the Inca Trail journey one of the most luxurious treks imaginable. In the golden afternoon light, after 4 days of hiking, we arrive at our goal: the magnificent Lost City of the Incas – Machu Picchu.
We will have a full day to explore this wonder of the ancient world with a knowledgeable guide before returning back to Cusco by luxury train.
By the end of this “trip-of-a-lifetime” you will have experienced the full range of adventure activities in Peru while seeing many different landscapes, meeting the warm Peruvian culture, marveling at the wonders of the Inca civilization, and making new lifetime friends and memories.
Our trip to Peru was extraordinarily wonderful on every level. We arrived home--healthy and happy--Saturday. After I get a little caught up, I'll give you a call. Just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how very high we are about the entire experience. Needless to say, Piero and Julio are fantastic. Thank you for all of your help. — Janet – Peru / Inca trail 2010
Peru was amazing as promised. Seeing Machu Picchu for the first time from the sungate is soooo rewarding after the long hike. I'm so glad we did the hike instead of just riding to it on a bus it made it much more special. Your river guys/gal ROCK!! No surprises there, we felt safe and had a blast on the Apurimac. The bugs do bite:) Little extras like a the Cuervo shots and light sticks were fun additions, the food was great and Pierro pics were enjoyed by all. The market in Aguas Claientes was great and we enjoyed shopping before dinner. We liked our stay in Casa Andina and thought the location between the square and the Artisan market was perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful there. — Shannan - Inca Trail 2007
