  • Amantani

    2015年8月24日, ペルー ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    This morning we board a boat on Lake Titicaca. We head to Taquile Island for lunch in a local restaurant and the chance for some
    shopping in the local weaving cooperatives. From there we head to Amantani where we overnight with a local family and enjoy
    typical music of the area. The following morning we will visit the floating islands of Uros en route to Puno.
    The Totora reeds that grow in the shallows of the lake are used for making everything from the islands themselves to the model
    boats that the islanders sell. The islands are made up of layers upon layers of reeds; as the layers closest to the water start to rot,
    they are replaced with fresh reeds on top. The reeds are also used to build their boats, which if constructed well will last up to 6
    months.

  • Road to Cusco

    2015年8月26日, ペルー ⋅ ⛅ 3 °C

    The trip from Puno to Cusco takes the better part of the day, with stark, beautiful scenery en route as you travel through the high
    Altiplano region. Upon arrival in Cusco we transfer to our hotel and relax for the evening.
    Cusco is the continent’s oldest continuously inhabited city, and the hub of the South American travel network. The city attracts
    travelers who come not just to visit a unique destination but also to experience an age-old culture very different from their 20th
    century way of life; one could easily spend a week just in and around the area. Inca-built stone walls line most of the central streets
    and you don't have to go far to see other major Inca ruins. It is a city steeped in history, tradition and legend.

  • Ollantaytambo DAY 1 INCA TRAIL

    2015年8月28日, ペルー ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Depart Ollantaytambo by van to km 82 where the hike begins. This takes about 40 mins. Our crew of local porters, cooks and guides
    will take care of all the details for the duration of the hike. Porters carry the majority of the gear so you’ll only need to carry a small
    daypack with water, rain gear, snacks, a camera, etc. You’ll trek through beautiful scenery with a variety of flora, changing with the
    seasons, passing several smaller ruin sites like Llactapata.
    Start point Km 82 to Wayllambama

  • Machu Picchu

    2015年8月31日, ペルー ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Day 4 of the Inca Trail:
    The final day of the hike starts pre-dawn to reach the Sun Gate before the sun rises. When the morning is clear, you soak in your
    first views of the breathtaking ruins of Machu Picchu as the mist rises off the mountains and the sun begins to illuminate the site.
    Hike down to Machu Picchu about 45 minutes more where you’ll have a guided tour of the site and free time to explore. Travellers
    can opt to visit the Inca Bridge (15 min walk) for no additional charge, if time allows. After your visit, catch the bus from outside the
    Machu Picchu gate and take it 15 mins downhill to Aguas Calientes where you’ll meet your CEO and any non-hiking members of
    your group. Eat and relax before your train back to Cusco this evening.
    Wiñaywayna to Intipunku (Sun Gate)

  • Cusco

    2015年9月1日, ペルー ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Cusco is considered the mecca of Peru and rightly so. This beautiful colonial town offers nearby ruins, cobble-stoned streets,
    museums, churches and a lively atmosphere. Among the more adventurous optional activities available in Cusco are: horseback
    riding around archaeological sites such as Sacsayhuaman, Tambo Machay and Puca Pucara; white water rafting on the Urubamba
    River; and mountain biking down to the Sacred Valley, perhaps visiting an Inca ruin along the way.

  • Puerto Maldonado

    2015年9月2日, ペルー ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    A short flight from Cusco, high in the Andes, to Puerto Maldonado, deep in the lowlands of the Amazon jungle. Travel by motorized
    canoe to our lodge in the Tambopata Rainforest Area, which holds the world record for the most bird sightings in one area. Explore
    the jungle with local guides before flying to Lima for a final night out.
    About half of Peru is located within the Amazon Basin, however, due to its isolation, not a lot of it is available to the casual traveler.
    Puerto Maldonado is the region’s principal city and is serviced by air from the capital and from Cusco. The town is situated at the
    confluence of the Madre de Dios and Tambopata Rivers, and is a bustling, booming tropical frontier town. Its principal activities are
    gold mining, Brazil nut collecting, timber extraction, agriculture and ecotourism. After a brief stop in the town we depart on an
    afternoon boat trip by motorized canoe to our jungle lodge.

  • Amazon

    2015年9月3日, ペルー ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    The area is
    renowned for its diverse plant and animal populations and include over 1,300 bird species (including 32 parrot species - 10% of the
    world’s total), 200 mammal species including 4 species of primates, 90 frog species, 1,200 butterfly species and 10,000 species of
    higher plants—all protected within the reserve. Some of the more famous residents are the Harpy Eagle, the prehistoric looking
    Hoatzin, tapir, peccary, jaguar, ocelot and playful river otters who live in the area’s oxbow lakes.
    The lodge itself combines native architectural style and materials with low-impact eco-friendly technology. Rooms are simple but
    comfortable, with mosquito netting for individual beds, flush toilets, showers (no hot water), and kerosene lamps for lighting (no
    electricity). Local community members make up the majority the lodge staff, including multilingual Naturalist Guides. Here you have
    the opportunity to learn from them not only about the area’s rich flora and fauna, but also about their extensive practical uses for
    medicinal plants and other forest plant resources, through traditional techniques for building, fishing, and hunting.
