An In-Depth Private Journey with Peru’s Most Outstanding Guides
- Travel with a Top NHA Expedition Leader
Most other tour companies offer either an unguided visit to Machu Picchu or they rely on local “step-on” guides who provide only scant interpretive services at the ruins. When you travel on our immersive journey, you’ll benefit from the full services of our own Expedition Leader, who's at your side from your arrival in Cusco until you depart. Our award-winning guides in Peru average 15 years’ experience. And their expertise in both natural and cultural history makes all the difference when it comes to a rich understanding of the sites we explore. See Expedition Leader bios and traveler comments regarding the quality of our leaders. - A Small Group Is a Must
Machu Picchu offers one of the world's most captivating travel experiences. But it's also a world-renowned destination, and trying to tour the site in a big group with multitudes of tourists jostling for photos and competing to hear the guide, your one-time visit to this World Heritage Site can lose its magic. Our scheduled Machu Picchu extensions average just six guests, allowing for in-depth exploration of the ruins, both with our Expedition Leader and on your own. - Our Trips Are Customized to Suit Each Group's Interests & Abilities
While most companies offer standardized presentations, our Expedition Leaders have the flexibility—and the know-how—to adjust each departure to suit our individual travelers' needs, providing access to elements and places in the region that regular tourists often miss. This is especially important in the Sacred Valley en route to Machu Picchu—we can adjust our activities for the group's capacity, especially in light of the altitude, with the opportunity for our travelers to walk and explore at their own pace. - Luxury Accommodations in Natural Settings Away from Crowds
Our accommodations are selected to enhance your experience of Peru's mountain culture in peaceful settings. Near Machu Picchu we stay at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, a luxury lodge secluded among lush cloud forest, not far from the ruins. The hotel enjoys a private setting surrounded by 12 acres of flower gardens containing more than 300 orchid species. In the Sacred Valley, we hand-pick our accommodations for atmosphere and privacy, away from crowds. - Our Quality-Value Guarantee Ensures Your Outstanding Machu Picchu Adventure
