OUR ROOTS
We have come a
long way since
we started in
the Inca trail
in 1996.
Mystical Peru
has grown
considerably and
we have expanded
our operations
through out Perú.
Although we have
grown, our aim
has remaind the
same as always:
to provide the
best value- for
– money tours,
combining
incredible
sights and
experiences
whilst in the
company of like-
minded
travellers like
yourself.
Our
philosophy
At Mystical Perú
expeditions, we
don´t believe in
selling you a
cheap tour with
hidden extras so
there is no need
to worry about
your trekking
running out
before you have
seen all the
great sights.
Just take a look
t our website to
see the amount
and wide variety
of inclusions
which we offer,
such as the Inca
trail, new Inca
trail for
amazing hiking
with scenic over
views, lakes
with salt mines
for biking even
for a couple
week, jungle
trips. All of
these are
clearly listed
along with any
potional
activities and
excursions,
which our crew
can help you
arrange locally.
We set the
highest
standards four
our tours, from
the exciting
itinerary with
experienced crew
, to three full
meals a day
whilst camping.
We welcome
feedback from
our clients, as
this is what
enables us to
ensure that we
maintain our
high standards,
and a service
that is second
to none.
Why take a
tour?
Well, have you
ever found
yourself stuck
in a foreign
City with no
accommdation
booked and
wasted time
wandering the
streets checking
for rooms? Or
struggled to
understand the
local bus system
but none of the
locals speak
English and at
some places
speak Quechua,
native dialect,
and you don´t
speak Spanish?
If the answer is
yes, then you
will know how
frustrating,
time consuming
and expensive it
can be. Mystical
Perú expeditions
takes away the
hassle, ensuring
that you
maximise your
time, money and
enjoyment.
Why Perú ?
What other area
can offer you
such an immense
variety of
history, culture
, full
adrenaline and
nature? From
brown Andeas
through green
Andeas watch the
sunrise over
Machupichu and
sunset at Lake
Titicaca.
Travelling
through Perú,
you will notice
a different
rhythm and
altitude:
Friendly and
laidback locals
who live life to
a different
pace.

Important
Information
ACCOMMODATIONS:
The Jaguar is an
active
adventure-oriented
trip around Perú.
We have chosen
interesting,
clean and
comfortable
accommodation
throughout. Most
of the places we
stay are
off-the-beaten-
track and truly
spectacular.
We've chosen
accommodations
for their
comfort,
cleanliness and
charm - not the
number of
channels
available on the
televisión! For
our Inca Trail
treks, we're
under canvas,
but it's pretty
fancy camping
all the way. Our
.porters carry
tents and
supplies, cook
meáis, boil
drinking water
for us and take
care of
everything
around camp. On
^Amantani
Island, we will
be staying in
the homes of
local families.
RECOMMENDED
FLIGHTS: You
need to arrive
in Cuzco by
lO:am on day one
at the latest.
If you have
extra time
before the trip,
we recommend
heading to Cuzco
early for more
acclimatization
time, and to
spend as long as
possible in this
incredible town!
Depending what
time your
international
flight arrives
to Lima, you are
likely to spend
a night there
too. Most
international
flights get to
Lima in the
evening, so
you'll probably
fly in to Lima
at night and
then on to Cuzco
the following
morning. On the
last day of the
trip, we
recommend
booking your
flight to depart
out of Lima any
time after 5pm.
PICK-UP
INFORMATION:
On the first day
of the trip we
can either pick
you up from
Cuzco Airport at
lOam, or if
you've already
flown into
Cuzco, we'll
meet you in the
lobby of PRIMA
HOTELat I lam,
where you'll
meet your trip
leader and the
rest of your
group!
DROP OFF
INFORMATION:
On the last day
of your trip
we'll fly you to
Lima airport.
The trip ends
here in Lima -
airport. We
recommend
booking your
flight to depart
out of Lima
after 5pm.
FITNESS:
You must have a
reasonable level
of fitness to
enjoy yourself.
You don't have
to be young or
extremely fit
(although if you
are, you won't
be bored), but
you should be in
the habit of
doing at least
some regular
exercise. Age
and experience
is not
important. We
would rather
have an older
person with a
good attitude
than a
22-year-old
couch potato!
EXPERIENCE:
You don't have
to have any
outdoor
experience to do
one of our
trips. We offer
trips that
enable you to
make the most of
South America's
awesome outdoor
environment,
culture and
history. Our
staff are highly
trained and very
experienced
outdoor leaders,
and we'll look
after you! You
don't have to
carry a pack on
the multi-day
trek (if you
like you can
hire a porter to
carry your
overnight gear
for a small
extra cost),
have ever
paddled a kayak
before or be
used to hiking
at altitude. You
don't need to be
a serious
cyclist to enjoy
our rides
either. You
don't have to
ride at all, if
you'd rather
hike, shop or
laze around! All
you need is to
be energetic and
in reasonable
shape - and we
guarantee you'll
have a wonderful
time. But if you
like a challenge
we will
certainly give
you one! For
example, at
Machu Picchu, if
you're keen
we'll climb up
to Huayna Picchu
Mountain. We
manage the level
of commitment to
suit your
experience, and
we have an
impeccable
safety record.
FLEXIBILITY:
Perú is a
developing
nation and we
won't tell you
that everything
in South America
runs like
clockwork. What
we con tell you
is that we are
experienced
adventure travel
leaders, and we
know how to keep
things operating
as smoothly as
possible, even
when conditions
are challenging.
That's why we're
here! But you'll
find your trip
even more
enjoyable if you
remember to
bring
flexibility and
a sense of humor
with you.
INCLUDED:
The trip fare is
US$2699. The
trip fare
includes just
about
everything,
specifically:
• All guiding
services. We
always have an
experienced trip
leader with
every trip and
will usually
have a local
guide on
most of our
excursions for
extra local
knowledge.
• Comfortable
accommodation
for the entire
two weeks. We
can also book
pre and post
trip
accommodation
for you
if you let us

and other drinks
are not
included.
• All hiking,
canoeing,
kayaking,
biking, and
jungle

trip be less
awesome if you
stick to the
free options.
Ground
transportaron
including boat
transfers and
domestic flights
Cuzco-Puerto
Maldonado
return, and your
final flight to
Lima at the end
of the trip. The
only flight not

taken care of by
MYSTICAL PERU
EXPEDITIONS !
NOT INCLUDED:
• Tips for your
Inca Trail
guides and
porters - you'll
be amazed how
hard they work
so we like to
have a little
presentation on
the last night
of the trail.
• If you choose
to, you can hire
an extra porter
to carry your
overnight gear
and personal
effects
(clothes,
toiletries,
sleeping mat and
sleeping bag) on
your Inca Trail.
This is your
holiday, and we
are serious
about not
nickel-and-diming
you! You will
have to pay for
the items
mentioned here,
extra activities
if you choose
them, and you'll
probably feel
like tipping
your guide at
the end of a
fabulous time,
but you won't be
pulling out your
wallet every few
minutes on your
MYSTICAL PERU

DAY MACHU
PICCHU- ( DAILY
DEPARTURES )
"This trek is
ideal for those
passengers who
really want to
be far in the
m'iddle of
nowhere with
only nature
surrounding them
as they camp in
an área that is
scarcely seen by
tourists. Huchuy
Qosqo (small
Cusco) is
situated above
the Valley of
Urubamba and
pffers very
spectacular
views over the
mountain range
Cordillera de
Vilcanota. This
trek is also a
great way for
you to enjoy a
shorter trek
that still
includes Machu
Picchu and Inca
trails (with
Inca stairs that
are better than
the Inca Trail).
You will have
one night
camping in the
wildemess and
then the very
next night will
be spent in our
Hostal Viajeros
in the beautiful
pueblo, Aguas
Calientes"
ITENERARY
Day 01:
TAMBOMACHAY TO
PUMAMARCA.
We begin our
journey by
departing Cusco,
by car, ¡n the
direction of the
Inca Site known
as Tambomachay
(3700 meters).
From here, we
will begin
trekking down
the road as it
curves sharply
up-hill to reach
a pass of near
4200 meters. We
will continué to
follow the trail
down ¡nto the
valley and
towards the
small community
at Jhe bottom.
As we descend
along the trail,
you will see a
beautifuliy
green valley
stretching out
as far as the
eye can see. The
path we will see
on its right
slope leads to
Pisac. Passing
through the
village and
across a new
bridge, the
trail takes us
up over the
second pass
(4300 meters)
and into high
open country. On
the way, we will
pass by the
beautiful Lake
Qoricocha
(Golden Lake ¡n
Quechua). We'll
continué aiong
this rustic
trail,
eventually
arriving atthe
highest point of
the trek, 4350
meter, with its
stellar views of
the surrounding
mountain ranges.
Finally, we'll
descend towards
the Pucamarca
córrimunity
(4010 meters),
where we'll
arrive in the
late afternoon.
Here, we'll set
up camp and
enjoy our supper
undemeath the
great starry
sky.
Day 02:
HUCHUY QOSQO -
LAMAY - AGUAS
CALIENTES .
Just below the
village of
Pucamarca, the
valley narrows
to form a ravine
where amazingly
well maintained
Inca staircase
will lead us
down to the
magnificent
citadel of
Huchuy Qosqo.
Huchuy Qosqo is
perched above
the Urubamba
Valley,
overlooking the
little town of
Lamay, which is
a town dedicated
to agriculture
and raising
cattle. Huchuy
Qosqo was
originally an
administrative
center like
Pisac, and like
Pisac, it also
has Inca
buildings made
of stone and
there is even
one which has a
great example of
Inca style
perfectly
fitting stones.
In the
hillsides, we
will also see
some granaries
because it was
also an
important
agricultural
center.
Continuing along
this now
magnificent
path, with
Pitusiray
looming above
us, we will
eventualiy pass
an Inca stone
and adobe
gateway. This
was / is the
entrance to the
ruins of Huchuy
Qosqo for people
who climbed up
from the
Urubamba Valley.
Later ín the
afternoon, our
prívate
transport will
drive us
Ollantaytambo,
where will catch
the afternoon
train to Aguas

nearby.
Specially
constructed
piers that jut
out into the

to look for a
family of Giant
Otters that live
here. These, the
world's largest
freshwater
carnivores,
remain common
only in Manu,
having been
hunted to
extinction
throughout most
of their former
range. Each
animal consumes
between 4 and 5
kilos of fish
daily and often
they can be seen
eating large
fish on logs at
the lakeside.

the trails in
the área in
search of some
of the 13
species of
Monkey found in
the forest here.

explain some of
the basics of
rainforest
ecosystems and
point out some
of the medicinal
plants of the
área used by
local,
indigenous
groups. We may

very slowly from
camp for 4-5
hours through
the forest to
Cocha Gtorongo.
We may encounter
troops of
Monkeys. This is
a particularly
good trail for
Woolly and Black
Spider Monkeys.
We'll pay
special
attention to the
plant Ufe on
this walk and
take it slowly
listening for
the rustle of
vegetation or
the soft sound
of fruits
falling to the
rainforest floor
that may betray
the presence of
animáis or large
birds. A visit
to the lake of
Cocha Otorongo
is planned,
where
observation
piers and a 20
meter
observation
tower in the

LAKE TITICACA
PUNO
An immense
region both in
terms of its
history and the
breadth of its
magical
landscape , the
titicaca basin
makes most
people feel like
they are on the
top of the
world. The skies
are vast and the
horizons appear
to bend away
below you. The
high altitude
ensures that
recent arrivals
from the coast
take it easy for
aday or two,
though those
coming from
Cusco will
already have
acclimatized.
The scattered
population of
the region are
descended from
two very ancient
Andean ethnic
groups or tribes
– the Aymara and
the Quechua. The
Aymaras
Tiahuanaco
culture predates
the Quechua´s
Inca
civilizations by
over three
hundred years.
Lake Titicaca is
enclosed by
white peaks and
dotted with
unusual floating
islands,
basically huge
rafts built out
of reeds and
home to a
dwindling and
much- abused
Indian
population. More
spactacular by
far are two of
the populaed
fixed islands,
Amantani and
Taquile, whose
ongoing
traditional life
gives vissitors
a genuine taste
of pre- Conquest
Andean Perú .
Densely
populated since
well before the
arrival of the
Incas, the
lakeside
Titicaca region
is also home to
the curious and
ancient tower
tombs known
locally as
Chullpas, which
are rings of
tall,
cylindrical
stone burial
chambers, often
standing in
battlement- like
formations.
