This compact tour combines two of the main regions of Peru for an unforgettable taste of what this stunning country has to offer.  Hike through the Andes along the less travelled ancient Lares Trek and visit the legendary Machu Picchu.  The journey ends with a couple of days in one of the most biodiverse areas on Earth, as we explore the rain forest in search of macaws, giant otters and other exotic fauna.

The Lares Trek is an excellent alternative to the extremely popular Inca Trail. This trek follows a path through spectacular mountain, lake and valley landscapes that have changed little over the last 500 years.  You’ll have the opportunity to observe the traditional life of the Andean farmer as the trek progresses through numerous colourful, villages.  You’ll see stone hatched houses surrounded by herds of alpacas and llamas and perhaps you’ll be able to pick up a couple of guinea pigs for dinner - try if you’re a real adventure traveller!
