Itinerary

Day 1: LIMA Fly to Lima. On arrival transfer to a hotel for overnight stay.

Day 2: CUSCO A short flight to Cusco. Take it easy for the rest of the day as you acclimatise to the altitude, or alternatively take in some of the local sights at a gentle pace.

Day 3 to 5: CUSCO Meet and work alongside the locals, as you spend 3 days helping to repair and redecorate a school in the Sacred Valley. Amongst the poorest in the country, many of these schools are in dire need of assistance and you’ll be surprised by many improvements can be made in a short period of time. Your base will be in Cusco each night, so there is also plenty of time to further explore the surrounding area.

Day 6 to 9: INCA TRAIL Follow in the footsteps of the Incas, as you follow the traditional ancient trail to their sacred city. The trek will take you through spectacular forest and past ancient ruins, but nothing will prepare you for the sight that awaits at dawn on the final day – the glorious city of Machu Picchu spread before you and a full day to explore it before heading down to the village of Aguas Calientes and the train back to Cusco.

Day 10: LIMA Fly back to Lima and enjoy a final afternoon exploring, or a chance for some last-minute shopping, before an overnight flight to the UK, arriving the following morning.

Day 11: LONDON Arrival in London.
