Travel through Peru’s Cusco region on a route that combines the Classic Inca Trail with Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley. The trip begins with time in Cusco and the Sacred Valley, which helps with altitude before the trek starts. Walk the full Inca Trail over four days, passing archaeological sites, mountain passes and cloud forest before reaching Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate. Three nights are spent camping on the trail, with meals prepared by the trekking team and basic camp comforts included. After the visit to Machu Picchu, return by panoramic train to the Sacred Valley and Cusco. The final day takes you to Rainbow Mountain, with Red Valley included when conditions allow. This itinerary suits active travellers looking for a guided small-group trip with a mix of walking, culture and mountain scenery.
