Peru: Machu Picchu Lodge to Lodge
For those looking for a luxurious way to follow a less trodden Inca trail, this trip is perfect for a 50th birthday gift idea. By day travelers trek through the Cordillera Vilcabamba, a spectacular mountain range in the heartland of the Andes that cradles the legendary Machu Picchu. By night they stay in four boutique luxury lodges, each a day's hike apart. The luxury mountain lodges feature gourmet Peruvian cuisine, outdoor jacuzzis, comfy beds with down duvets and cozy lounges with fireplaces.
The highest point reached is a dramatic 15,200-foot pass between Salkantay, the second most sacred peak in Inca mythology, and Huamantay peaks. As travelers descend to lower altitudes they trek through misty cloud forests filled with tangled strangler figs, bromeliads, and orchids. After the trek, travelers head to the "lost city" of Machu Picchu for a day of discovering the exquisite ruins. The trip ends with a train journey back to colonial Cuzco.
Trip Highlights
• Exploring the cobblestone streets of Cuzco
• Tour of Machu Picchu
• 4 Day Trek traversing the Vilcabamba Range with overnights in luxurious lodges
