Top Highlights

  • MirafloresTwelve days and almost all of it above 3,000 m.
  • Plaza de ArmasCusco is higher than Leh and people arrive from sea level and try to sightsee.
  • PisacThe valley floor is six hundred metres below Cusco, which is why the acclimatisation plan puts you here on night three.
  • Machu PicchuEntry is by timed circuit now and the ticket names the route.
  • SacsayhuamanSacsayhuaman has stones over a hundred tonnes cut to fit each other without mortar, and nobody is entirely sure how.
  • RaqchiThe road crosses La Raya at 4,335 m, which is the highest point of the whole trip so far.
  • UrosThe Uros islands are built and rebuilt from totora reed, and the families on them have lived that way for centuries.
  • Mi TelefericoLa Paz commutes by cable car because the city is built on the sides of a canyon between 3,200 and 4,100 m.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Good value for what's included.

Well paced over 12 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Worth every rupee.

Andes done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Would book with them again.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.
