Hello everyone. We have the dates for our 2025 Peru trip. June 29 – July 8, 2025. This is the trip that includes the *Salkantay Trail hike.
Here is our schedule:
June 29 – Fly to Cusco, Peru. We will arrive in Cusco in the late morning/early afternoon*. Upon arrival in Cusco we will get settled in our hotel and spend the rest of the day getting to know the city and getting used to the altitude. Cusco is at nearly 11,000 ft. altitude.
June 30 – July 1, – Sacred Valley tour. We will depart Cusco in the morning and visit the Inca sights of Sacsayhuaman, Pisac and Ollantaytambo. We will overnight in Ollantaytambo and visit Moray and Chinchero. Return to Cusco in the evening.
July 2 – Cusco – We will visit landmarks in Cusco including Qorikancha and San Blas. We will also spend some time preparing for our hike.
July 3 – July 7 – Salkantay Hike and Machu Picchu. We begin our four day hike of the Salkantay Trail with a short hike then three days of amazing scenery and challenging climbs in the Andes Mountains. You will see 19,000 ft. peaks, waterfalls, forests, coffee farms and much more. We will be served three great meals a day by our cook and his staff who also have camp set up for us at the end of each day. We end the four day hike in the town of Aguas Calientes where we will enjoy a nice hot shower, a celebration meal, and a night in a nice hotel. On July 7th we will get up early for a guided tour of the historic sanctuary, Machu Picchu. We will spend the day exploring this incredible Inca city. In the late afternoon we will board the train back to Cusco.
July 8 – Spend the morning relaxing or get in your last bit of shopping in Cusco. In the afternoon we will fly back to Lima to head home after an incredible Peruvian journey.
Cost of this trip is $2400. This price includes accommodations, breakfast, some other meals, all meals on the hike, all ground transportation, tickets to all the sites we visit and Machu Picchu. This price does not include your round trip flight to Lima or your round trip flight to Cusco. We will assist you in purchasing your tickets to assure you book your flights for the correct dates.
* Most flights back to the U.S. depart Lima late at night or early in the morning (after midnight).
* Many flights to Lima from the U.S. arrive late at night (between 10:00 pm and midnight).
* If you want to see/tour Lima you are welcome to arrive a couple of days early to Lima. We will be with you and arrange tours and lodging. Cost for this addition will be $150 - $300, depending on how early you arrive. Since most flights arrive to Lima late at night, we recommend you arrive at least one day early. This would mean arriving Friday night, June 27th. This will give you one full day to see Lima (Saturday, June 28th).
* We can also add additional days after the 10 day trip. Rainbow Mountains are a must see. We can add this one day trip on July 8th.
*Please note! We can also accommodate those who do not want to do the hike. For the last several years we have had travelers who did not wish to hike. We have alternate activities/tours for those guests. Please let us know if this is your preference. We will take care of your wants and needs.
Please contact one of us with any questions. We look forward to showing you the amazing country of Peru!
