Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is a true classic that should be on every adventurer’s “to-do” list. Exploring ancient paths and ruins in this spectacular setting will send shivers down your spine. This haunting fortress city nestled below stunning peaks is the greatest mystery of the Inca Empire. Beautiful Andean scenery, as well as cultural history, unfold as we hike up and down steep stone staircases past ancient Inca outposts. Your Peruvian porters will carry all of your gear and even set up your tent for you so you can enjoy this stunning trek. Your guide will explain the fascinating natural history along the trail, and the expert cooking staff will prepare and serve delicious meals.
The Amazon Jungle is a wildlife treasure, and is not to be missed by nature lovers. You’ll fly from Cuzco to Puerto Maldonado, where you will take a boat ride to the fantastic, Refugio Amazonas, where you’ll stay 2 nights. Naturalists will take you on walks and boat trips to explore some of the natural wonders the Tambopata National Reserve, including Oxbow Lake, a canopy tour and farm visit with ethnobotanical tour.

Hi Wendy – hope this finds you and the Bio Bio team well! I just wanted to thank you for all you and the team did to make our trip so amazing. Our group collectively agreed that this was one of the most incredible travel experiences ever! Everything was perfect from start to finish; and I also appreciate all your assistance with our unexpected travel snafus.
A special thanks to Darwin and Elias for sharing their knowledge, expertise, humor, and culture. They are truly awesome guys and did such an unbelievable job with all the logistics and management of our motley crew : ) Plus, they were so much fun to be with!
The rest of the Inca Trail team: cooks, waiters, and porters were wonderful; and it was really nice to interact with them as encouraged by Darwin and Elias. Getting to the Sun Gate and “money shot” of Machu Picchu with no one else around was also an unexpected and huge treat.
We had high expectations given Catherine and Tom Silva’s rave reviews of their previous trip. However, those expectations were totally exceeded times 10 – we can’t say enough about what an amazing experience this was. We certainly hope to embark on another Bio Bio adventure in the future and have already told several friends about this one. I’ve also posted a trip advisor rating – thanks for suggesting it. Again, many thanks and all the best!

Dear Marc,
Once again, not to my surprise (but always a pleasure), BioBio hit a home run for me with this fantastic trip to Macchu Piccu. It was the epitome of worldwide CE/travel with a ‘personal touch.’ You’ve always sourced really great hike support crew…porters, cooks, et cetera, but I’m most amazed by your local guides. The know all the important little secret places and tricks as if they’ve lived there for years…and often they have!! All the safe, lovely, interesting restaurants, how to time arrival to and departure from busy but interesting places for the highest quality if experience, and a quiet awareness and anticipation of our likely needs and interests are all clearly important to our fantastic guides.
I need to tell you that Darwin, in particular, is an employee/contractor who merits retention, promotion, or whatever else you do to let employees know that they’re unusually impressive. His depth of knowledge and interest in his subject, his passion for sharing this with us, and his sensitive awareness and support of our needs was truly impressive. He and I spoke about my BioBio experience in Kilimanjaro (I started the conversation). I think you would be VERY well served by having him there, though I’ll concede that I have too much BioBio ahead of me to consider repeating that soon.
My fiancée and I are very excited about our upcoming honeymoon, but Galapagos is on her bucket list as well as mine…and you have enough choices available for a lifetime of travel. Still, as I sit in this airport in Peru, I wish I could go back to Macchu Piccu tomorrow!
With gratitude,
John Ober, DVM
