The group trip departs from Lima on 12 June and includes transport within Peru, nine nights' accommodation, some meals and an Inca Trail trek. International flights are not included. "If you want to trek in the footsteps of the ancient Incas along the renowned Inca Trail and explore the heart of the Inca Empire, you'll love Trails of Peru," says Bec Whiffin, at Tucan Travel (020-8896 1600; tucantravel.com).
