Trek to Machu Picchu - The lost city of the Incas - Program

We chosen to trek on alternative trails to Machu Picchu instead of the classic Inca trail, but they are at least as spectacular as the Inca trail. We will do this because of the heavy traffic of trekkers you will find on the Inca trail, with up to 500 persons trekking there daily. Many travel agents puts different groups together, which suits the agent best to gain some extra money on you. We do it differently, we are always working with our own group and by doing that you will yourself in tight, friendly group of people and your personal experience and adventure in Peru will be much more pleasant.
