This tour is our specialty and is the trek that most people enjoy very much due its fantastic scenery of the snow capped Andes mountains, the Urubamba river crossing in the valley, lush vegetation with a variety of typical flora y fauna from the area, combined with mystical archaeological Inca sites undiscovered by the Spanish along the flat stone Inca trail original to Machupicchu.
You will trek with a small group of English speaking people from parts of the world.
This is a great opportunity to have fun & meet new friends, perfect for couples or a group of friends.
