Jornada Inca 2027 • Peru

Inca Journey

Machu Picchu conquered on foot, crossing the Andes, with days of culture and rest before and after the trail.

The Expedition lasts 10 days and 9 nights
Duration

10 days and 9 nights

Meeting point

Cusco (Peru)

Recommended airport

Aeroporto Alejandro Velasco Astete (CUZ)

Level

Intense

Reaching Machu Picchu on foot changes everything. On the Inca Journey, you hike the Salkantay Trek and enjoy full days in Cusco and the Sacred Valley, experiencing life alongside Andean families and taking the time to truly feel the culture.

Along the way, you will discover the turquoise waters of Humantay Lake, the Salkantay Pass at 4,600 meters, the transition from high mountain peaks to the Andean jungle, nights in domes and lodges, and your arrival at Machu Picchu via the trail, not a tourist bus.

The journey concludes in Ollantaytambo, a living Inca village, leaving you with that wonderful feeling of a shared accomplishment.

It is not about checking Machu Picchu off a list. It is about taking the Andes home in your heart.

What our days will look like

The local team welcomes you at the airport and transfers you to the hotel. Cusco sits at 3,400 meters, so the first day is all about taking it easy.

You will be welcomed with coca tea, helpful guidance on altitude and logistics, and a relaxed conversation about the days ahead.

No rush and no tight schedule: your body gradually adjusts while we get to know each other.

Transformation and wisdom

The experience with Ana Carms was magnificent. The team welcomes you and makes the trip far more special. The care they take with each one of us warms our hearts. The commitment, the respect, the wish to make everyone feel comfortable and part of the family are marks we carry from every experience with them. On this trip I was with the lovely Ana, the caring Flávio and the sweetness and lightness of Roque. I can only thank the whole team for another sensational journey. This team has something of its own and wins us over trip after trip. Congratulations again on delivering impeccable work.

Transformative

My experience on this trip to the Amazon was extremely positive. The agency put together a rich programme, with authentic experiences that let me get to know the local culture, the forest, the rivers and the biodiversity of the region in a very special way. The organisation was efficient from planning through to the activities themselves. The outings happened as agreed, the professionals showed real knowledge of the region and there was genuine concern to give travellers a complete experience. What I liked most was the chance to live transformative experiences, such as direct contact with the Amazon, the connection with people from different places and actions that encourage environmental preservation. It was a trip that exceeded my expectations and contributed a great deal to my personal growth. As a suggestion, I would reinforce the importance of always prioritising responsible and sustainable tourism practices, valuing the conservation of the fauna, the flora and the local communities. I also believe one of the days in Presidente Figueiredo could have been better used: we had a long drive to visit a single waterfall, while the region offers several outstanding natural attractions. Perhaps a more optimised route, including other waterfalls or nearby points of interest, would make the experience even richer. I recommend the agency to anyone looking for a genuine Amazon experience, with adventure, learning and connection with nature, and I take the chance to encourage women to travel solo: a trustworthy agency makes all the difference in that turning point.
