Sacred Treks: Machu Picchu

Cattara | Adventures with Insight

2023: May 29th - June 8th

Join expert Himalayan trekking guide Cathy Ann Taylor on an off-the-beaten-path high altitude trek to the celebrated Inca ruins of Machu Picchu! 
 
You’ll trek through misty cloud forests and alongside brilliant blue lakes, with constant views of the glacier-draped peaks of the Cordillera Vilcabamba, a spectacular mountain range in the heart of the Andes cradling the sanctuary of Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas.”

Much less traveled, higher and more rugged than the regular Inca Trail, this trek takes you across a variety of ecosystems, from alpine habitats with views of icy glaciers and the avalanche-swept slopes of Salcantay (20,574’) to lush bamboo forests, fruit orchards, and coffee plantations. You’ll end each day at a delightful mountain lodge, where you’ll dine on delicious international and local cuisine, soothe your weary muscles in a Jacuzzi, and sleep in a comfortable bed.

In addition to the hikes, you’ll fly prayer flags as a tribute to the lives and memories of those who have faced breast cancer and help to raise funds for Breast Cancer Prevention Partners.
 
The trip is limited to 12 people, so sign up now! Email cathyann@cattara.com to get started.
