It is with this knowledge and expertise that we provide a transparent model that puts Amaquella in a prime position within the student adventure travel market.

Experience the trip of a lifetime to the Peruvian Andes, following the infamous paths of the Inca people in search of the hidden city, Machu Picchu. Setting out from the ancient Inca capital, Cusco, you face a true trekking adventure taking in the spectacular setting of this stunningly beautiful country. On route you will be faced with varying terrain from steep ascents and breath-taking mountain passes to humid jungle environments. Your reward shall be a spectacular final day at the most impressive wonder of the world, Machu Picchu.

Over the course of the trek, you will be able to experience first-hand the challenge faced by the threatened Inca people as they aimed to evade the conquering Spanish Conquistadors of the 16th Century. With twisting paths rising high and low across the Andean valleys, this trek is no easy feat, but it is an opportunity to experience a world like no other, with a team you’ll never forget, visiting a place you’ll forever desire to revisit.

As part of the experience, you will be able to stroll around the local market, soak up the Peruvian culture, get a taste of the local drinks, and generally experience the real Peru.

Day10/Day11

Giant Rope Swing.Like nothing else you have ever experienced. This is a once in a lifetime activity, to add to a once in a lifetime trip. This giant rope swing not far from Cusco is a real adrenaline experience not to be missed. After some time to relax since your epic adven-ture, we will pick you up from Cusco, drive you to the rope swing, where you will be given a briefing, before being roped up to one of the largest swings anywhere in the world. Included in this, will be lunch and transport back to Cusco in perfect time for another night on the town if you so wish.

Via Ferrata and Zip Line.The area around Cusco has some of the greatest activities on offer anywhere in the world. And we have picked the very best out for you. Your first activity will be a 400 metre Via Ferrata. Following pick up from your hostel in Cusco you’ll be driven through the stunning scared valley where you will be briefed and then roped up. It’s a simple climb, but the scenery is second to none.

Following your rock climb, you will be provided with a lunch while sat on a ledge of the rock face, an experience not to be missed. From there, there is only one way down and that is the largest set of zip lines in the world. Spanning hundreds of metres across the valley, you will reach speeds in excess of 40 miles an hour on your journey. After a combination of six lines, you will find yourself back on the ground. From there we will deliver you back to Cusco for the evening. This activity will occupy most of your day, it is worth every minute!

Day11-Day12

Transfer to Huacachina. Peru is a very large country and the Ica region is some distance from Cusco. As part of the experience, we have laid on the pinnacle of luxury coach travel to get you there through the night. The level of quality is equivalent to that of first class air travel!

Day12-Day17

Huacachina. Huacachina is quite probably the most amazingly place you will ever go, after Machu Picchu of course. This is a stunning oasis set in the heart of the Ica District. Your experience here will be nothing short of spectacular. We will put you up in a hostel, with access to a great pool and sun beds so that you can relax to your hearts content. On top of that there are many lively bars and restaurants to keep you entertained throughout the day and night.

If you’d prefer to be more active than rejoicing in the endless sun, then there are pedal and rowing boats that you can take out on the oasis. Of course this can be complimented by a jug of home craft lemonade or a bottle of Cusquena beer.

If that isn’t enough, Huacachina is famous for something a little more extreme, sand boarding and dune buggying throughout the desert! Experience the stunning sunset whilst roaring across some of the largest sand dunes in the world at extreme speed; then get out on your sand boards and race your friends down the dunes time after time. You can go and experience this as many times as you wish, it isn’t covered as we thought you’d rather book at your convenience. The rate is around £10 for two hours of adrenaline filled enjoyment.

For the last few years Rob and I have worked closely with the Epilepsy Society, first as team leaders and as tour operators.

Epilepsy Society is the UK’s leading provider of epilepsy services. They are globally known for their pioneering, world-leading research in finding the underlying causes of epilepsy.
