Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive La Paz
Day 2 La Paz / Tiahuanaco
Day 3 Puno
Enjoy spectacular views of the countryside on a full day of travel from La Paz, around Lake Titicaca and on to Puno.Located at 3830 m above sea level, Puno is the highest night stop on the tour. As a result the weather can be extreme with very cold nights and a strong sun during the day. Puno is also known for its wealth of traditional dances; there are up to 100 different varieties, usually performed in the street processions celebrating Catholic feast days. Hopefully you visit at the right time and catch one of these celebrations. A popular optional activity in Puno is a visit to the spectacular chullpas (funerary towers) of Sillustani, a pre-Inca archaeological site which can (time permitting) be visited upon return from the Islands of Lake Titicaca.Day 4-5 Lake Titicaca / Taquile Island (L, D, B)
Day 6-7 Cuzco
Day 8 Ollantaytambo
Travel with the local guide through the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Visit the impressive Pisac ruins and the colourful artisan market. Finish the day trip in the picturesque village of Ollantaytambo, site of another large Inca ruin. Catch your breath and prepare for the hike ahead.Ollantaytambo is a taste of what lies ahead on the Inca Trail. This major ruin site is known as the best surviving example of Inca urban planning and engineering. It is admired for its huge steep terraces guarding the Inca Fortress and for being one of the few places where the Spanish lost a major battle during the conquest. Spend the night in this small town before heading out for the start of the hike the next morning.Day 9-12 Inca Trail (3B, 3L, 3D)
Day 13 Cuzco
Cuzco is considered the mecca of Peru and rightly so. This beautiful colonial town offers much to the visitor with its nearby ruins, cobble-stoned streets, museums, churches and lively atmosphere. Try on of the following optional activities: horseback riding around archaeological sites such as Sacsayhuaman, Tambo Machay and Puca Pucara; white water rafting on the Urubamba River; and mountain biking down to the Sacred Valley, perhaps visiting an Inca ruin along the way.Day 14 Lima
