Explore the Inca Trail

Explore is offering £100 off Inca Trail treks in 2013 if booked before December 11 this year. Explore’s tours run slightly differently to those of competitors with overnight stops at exclusive and small campsites avoiding the crowds.

Groups also arrive at Machu Picchu (above) late in the afternoon, allowing them to experience the ruins in peace. They then have the option to return the following day for a more in-depth exploration of the amazing Peruvian site.

The nine-day Inca Trail Trek including Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, ively Pisac market and the historic town of Cusco costs from £1,745 per person and includes return flights, four nights’ hotel, three nights’ camping and one night guest house accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis, seven other meals, transport and the services of a tour leader, driver and some local guides.

A 12-day High Trails of the Incas tour costs from £2,037 per person. Visit www.explore.co.uk or call 0844 499 0901. Also see www.machupicchu-inca.com/
