Exploring Machu Picchu & The Heart of the Sacred Valley

One of our favorite places in the world, this trip combines it all: delicious food, incredible hikes, and luxury lodges.

This trip is a 9-day cultural and hiking tour of the Sacred Valley of Peru and Machu Picchu combines wilderness and travel medicine education that is  paired with a hands-on immersive experience working with a local healthcare program of Peru, Sacred Valley Health, who are doing incredible work with the indigenous cultures of the highlands of Peru. The idea is to help expand the scope of the public health services that this program provides, but also to equip MedTreks participants to feel more confident in their skills and strategies when they do global health work abroad in other regions.

Peru is a country rich in history and culture. From the delicious Peruvian cuisine, artisan crafts, snow-capped mountains, friendly people, and ancient ruins, Peru has something for every traveler. Many people have one destination on their mind when preparing an adventure to Peru: Machu Picchu. This mountain fortress should absolutely be on every traveler’s bucket list, however, after running several trips to Peru over the past 30 years, we have selected a few highlights that are worthwhile adding to your itinerary as you make the journey to Machu Picchu, whether by foot or by train.

We look forward to sharing this incredible country with you!
