From the colonial and pre-Columbian grandeur of Cusco, with all the comforts it offers to travellers from all over the world, we explore the land of the Incas. The Sacred Valley of the Incas was the fertile heart of the Inca Empire and its people still farm amid the ruins of their ancestors' culture and trade in their colourful markets. From the valley we journey by train to Machupicchu, still surrounded by the dense tropical forests rich in biodiversity that hid it from view for so many centuries.

From the Inca and colonial magnificence of the city of Cusco, we journey into the Sacred Valley of the Incas and on to Machupicchu, that timeless city lost for centuries in the dense, fauna-rich forest that surrounds it still. Leaving the realm of the Incas, we then travel into the Amazon basin, to the Tambopata National Reserve, one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet.

The Sacred Valley of the Incas was the fertile heart of the Inca Empire and its people still farm amid the ruins of their ancestors' culture and trade in their colourful markets. We then travel to Machupicchu as Inca pilgrims once did: on foot along the world famous Inca Trail, a spectacular trek through the biodiverse Machupicchu Historical Sanctuary, with its fascinating archaeological remnants of the Inca culture.

From the ancient capital of the Inca civilization, with its narrow streets bordered by Inca and Spanish architecture, we venture into the remote Andes. This trek takes us around the sacred peak of Mount Salkantay along little-used trails, before joining other travellers from all over the world at Machupicchu.

Our first port of call is Cusco. The city we see today is the magnificent result of both Spanish and Inca cultures. Cusco is not just the cradle of the ancient Inca culture, but also the gateway to the most bio diverse tropical forests in the world in the Amazon basin, and of course the starting point of any journey to the emblematic ruins of Machupicchu.

Arequipa's beautiful plaza is dominated by its fine cathedral and the sun shines all year on this southern city. From Arequipa we journey to Colca, the world's deepest canyon and the realm of the condor. We travel to Lake Titicaca, the world's largest tropical lake and then to Cusco, the cradle of the Inca Empire and the archaeological capital of the Americas. From Cusco we will hike the Inca Trail, following in the footsteps of Inca pilgrims to the sacred city of Machupicchu.
