Lodge trekking over the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu
Peru is home to a wealth of extraordinary natural resources, interesting culture and surprising originality. We will visit sounding names such as Inca Trail, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca or even colonial cities like Cusco and Arequipa on this varied journey. The trekking leads on old Inca paths from lodge to lodge. In double rooms with hotel comfort and with wonderful food we enjoy warm hospitality. We end some trekking days with a warm bath in the bubbling Jacuzzi under the open sky. Passing deep-blue glacier lakes and colorful mountain meadows, the panorama over the glittering six-thousander is breathtaking. In the light of the mystical cloud forest, Machu Picchu suddenly appears in the distance, the city in the clouds. After visiting this legendary place, we take the train through the picturesque Urubamba Valley and continue by bus to the former Inca capital Cusco. Unforgettable, this legendary drive from the cloud forest to the colonial town of Cusco.
The versatility of this journey is incomparable.
The historic sanctuary Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu,”the old mountain”, is an impressive fortress city of the Incas in the middle of the mountains. The city is also referred to as the “lost city of the Incas,” as the whereabouts of the place until its discovery by Hiram Bingham in 1911 remained a mystery. The complex was probably built in the 15th century by the Inca Pachacútec. Today, the archaeological site comprises two sectors with about 20 hectares. In the agricultural area are various terraces built on the mountain slopes with a height of up to 4 meters. In the city proper, there are numerous monuments and squares, the so-called Sun Temple, the sundial “Intihuatana” and the solar observatory, the three-window temple, the main temple and the so-called condor sector are the main attractions. There is also an impressive boulder, 3 meters high and 7 meters wide, known as the sacred rock. For the construction of Machu Picchu rocks from the surrounding areas were used, which were processed depending on the intended use with different techniques and more or less well cut. One of the finest worked walls is the central wall in the main temple with perfectly matched stone blocks. The historical sanctuary of Machu Picchu is more than just the archaeological sites: this includes the biodiversity of the flora and fauna, declared by UNESCO in 1983 as a cultural asset and natural reserve of humanity.
A journey could not be more varied. A journey into the natural wonder of Peru.

What happens in the event of bad weather?
About the meteorological conditions of the climate, we try to organize the trips of each tour in the best season to have the best views and enjoy the selected trip but sometimes even is good season we can have bad weather, in this case on hiking or treks trips The complications are minimal, but when this happens during high-altitude climbing expeditions, the complications can become very difficult, that is why the bosses or leaders of the local guides must always make the most correct decision for the safety of our passengers, so we always recommend listening to the best advice from the local guide assigned for each tour. If you have any other questions please contact us. For calls or inquiries to this number: +51 943 081 066
Can I join a group?
We as a local company and connoisseurs of tours have departures on different dates. The best thing to do is to join a travel group to take care of your budget, and of course you can join our groups, but on trips like mountaineering we recommend going in small groups. To join a group, ask us for the dates and we will send you the necessary information to be able to join any of our trips.
Why go in a private trip: For trips whether trekking or high mountains, going privately is the most recommended option, but the costs are more expensive. So, if one joins a group, the prices will be more reasonable. In the mountains, the only disadvantage is if you are in a wall with another partner and if one of the participants gets tired or gets sick. In this case, you have to abort or cancel the summit and return together. For more information, contact us. We can schedule a call via WhatsApp to clarify all your questions.
In a mountain, for example, if 3 people go and one of the participants falls ill on the route, for security reasons they have to cancel or abort the summit or return all together. The same in a technical mountain if the climbing partner gets sick they all have to return, for these reasons sometimes it is better to go private only because for a single person the costs are more expensive for the same reason that the trip would already be private .
