Peru 360°: Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and Lake Titicaca
The trip in a nutshell
When we think of Peru, what are the first things that come to mind? Machu Picchu, cute alpacas, the Rainbow Mountain, delicious ceviche and pisco...right? Well, in our itinerary we will experience all this. But not only that... you'll discover the real Peru, with its Inca cities, its canyons, as well as artificial and floating islands on the Lake Titicaca.
From Lima, our road trip will lead us at high altitude to the Colca Canyon (we promise, the landscape is breathtaking there!) We will then head off to Chivay to admire the majestic condors flying between the peaks - 100 points to Gryffindor if you spot some! Then, we continue towards Lake Titicaca where we'll meet the locals and immerse ourselves in their traditions. Next, it's time to for an unforgettable trek at 17060 ft on the Rainbow Mountain. Then we'll follow the Inca trail in the Sacred Valley and discover the enchanting archaeological site of Machu Picchu. We will return and end our trip in Lima, reminiscing of all the fantastic memories we have made along the way!

The travel coordinators
Our travel coordinators are chosen because they are people like you. Not only are they the best travel buddy you could hope for, but they're trained professionals guaranteed to show you a travel experience like never before
Due to issues within the local communities, the main access to Vinicunca (Rainbow Mountain) has been closed since November 28th. It's not advisable to seek alternative routes for the safety of the group. Instead, we'll visit Palcoyo, another Rainbow Mountain with a similar breathtaking view and fewer tourists.
