Overview

The High Road to Machu Picchu

Sequenced so the altitude arrives in the order your body can take it, which is not the order most itineraries use.

Every journey here is a starting point, not a product. We move the dates, swap a camp, add a night where you will want one, take out the walk your knee will not enjoy, and price it for the people actually travelling.
