3 Hike the Inca Trail – Getting to Machu Picchu
is best via the famed Inca Trail. This multi-day hike allows you to
see the mountains, jungles, and follow the route of the Incas. Book in advance,
as it fills up months ahead of time during peak season.
4 Visit the Islas Flotantes de los Uros – The
Floating Islands of the Uros may sound like an Indiana Jones title but it is
actually the name of the group of handmade islands in Lake Titicaca. The
Islands are home to the indigenous Uros people who have built their own houses,
islands and boats from the tortora reeds which grow along the banks of the
lake. This is an extremely touristy site, and is a bit exploited as such, so
it’s not for everyone.
