THE JOURNEY, AT YOUR PACE

A little plan.
A lot of possibility.

Use this outline to tell us what excites you. Stay longer in a favourite place, change the pace, or build in something you have always wanted to do.

01
Days 1–3
Ease into the Andes
Arrive and take the first days at a measured pace. Let your provider help sequence the stays and keep demanding activity off the arrival day.
02
Days 4–7
Explore the Sacred Valley
Give local places and communities time rather than treating the valley as a transfer. Ask about a guided walking day suited to your experience.
03
Days 8–10
The Machupicchu chapter
Visit with the correct confirmed entry and transport arrangements. Keep a buffer for the return journey and a final night before your onward flight.

A NOTE FOR THE ROAD

Leave a little room.

Allow time to adjust to altitude and confirm the current ticket, circuit and transport arrangements directly with your provider. Trek permits and site tickets are different things.
