MACHU PICCHU
DAY 8 - Depart Chivay for the drive to Puno, set on the shores of Lake Titicaca, for a two night stay. En route you will visit the burial site at Sillustani for a guided tour. These pre-Inca stone towers were used as graves for the high-born. DAY 9 - Today we include a half day tour to the Uros Islands. These floating islands on Titicaca are actually made from totora reeds and are home to local Indians who have inhabited the area for centuries and still practise a traditional way of life. DAY 10 - Transfer by road to Cuzco for a four night stay. The journey is a fascinating experience, giving a close-up view of rural life. Lunch is included today. DAY 11 - Full day included tour to the market at Pisac and the Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo. Here you can experience all the colour and traditions of an Indian market. You will have the opportunity to barter for goods such as rugs and alpaca sweaters. Lunch is included today. This afternoon you will visit Ollantaytambo, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The present town largely follows the original Inca plan and a number of Inca ruins remain. DAY 12 - Morning free to explore. This afternoon join our included city tour of Cuzco and nearby Inca sites. DAY 13 - Today you will visit Machu Picchu, a highlight of any visit to Peru. The ruined city was discovered by an American, Hiram Bingham, in 1911. Perched inaccessibly above a steep valley swathed in jungle, Machu Picchu is often referred to as the Lost City. The true reason why it was built remains a mystery. You will travel to Machu Picchu by narrow gauge railway. The last part of the journey is by bus and you will drive up to the mist-shrouded mountain tops where you will discover these fascinating ruins. Lunch is included today. DAY 14 - Transfer to the airport for your flight to Lima for an overnight stay. DAY 15 - Transfer to the airport for your return flight to the UK. DAY 16 - Arrival in the UK. ALTITUDE During this tour you will travel to altitudes of over 12,000ft. This should not be a problem, although everyone should take it easy at first. This tour visits high altitudes in excess of 12,000 feet, where altitude sickness can occur. Our tour has been designed to allow a more gradual increase in altitude, giving you more time to adjust to the lower oxygen levels. Other simple measures, such as eating light meals and drinking lots of fluids can also help to alleviate the symptoms. If you suffer from heart or respiratory conditions or have any other concerns please consult you doctor.
