MACHU PICCHU
Machu Picchu is still a mystery as to its original use… Was it the holiest of religious ceremonial sites, the ultimate military fortress, or a luxurious getaway? Without the benefit of modern mathematics, or even wheels, the Incas managed to seamlessly fit stone together to create a vast network of terraces and buildings. Whether you choose to trek there or take the train, come and create your own explanation for this mysterious and awe-inspiring site!

Lodge-to-Lodge Trekking
The most immersive Machu Picchu experience!
Untamed Path offers the best way to experience the magic of Machu Picchu. Choose a 5 day or 7 day trek through the Andes, building excitement and anticipation for the final day’s vista of the Lost City.
Luxurious Mountain Lodges
Along the way you will stay at luxurious mountain lodges. This provides a great combination of a hard days’ hiking and a long evening relaxing. Your hikes will take you through tucked away indigenous villages, almost forgotten Incan ruins, and roaming herds of Alpacas. Your evenings will be spent sipping wine in the jacuzzi, sampling traditional Peruvian cuisine, and forging unforgettable memories.
The Crown Jewel
After all the altitude gained and sweat lost, arriving at Machu Picchu is all the more wonderful. During your trek you will gain an appreciation for the tenacity and vision of the Inca in choosing this site for their crowning jewel. The perfectly fitted stones and flat terraces go from just a nice sight to a mind-boggling achievement.
Inca Trail
Just Like the Incas
For the ultimate adventurer/outdoorsman, tackle the trek up the Sacred Valley of the Incas as closely as possible to the ancient Incans. Enjoy the fresh mountain air and the stunning star shows sleeping outside.
Vistadome Train
360° Views
If high altitude trekking isn’t your thing, or you don’t want to spend a whole week visiting Machu Picchu, the train is a great option to cut out time and lots of sweat! Roughly a four-hour ride from Cusco to Machu Picchu, the vista-dome train has windows not just on the sides, but on the roof as well so you don’t miss any of the stunning views. It can be done as a day trip but we recommend a three-day, two-night immersion to get the most out of your trip to this historic monument.
