We’re different because...

Bamba Experience is unique. We are different because our focus is on YOU, the individual traveler. Our #1 priority is to make sure you have unforgettable experiences, meet new friends and return home with a smile on your face as you reflect back on the great memories you are bringing home.

Award-Winning Customer Service: Our passion for independent travel is exceeded only by our commitment to you. Our focus on quality customer service has earned us a 2013 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Award.

Structured Flexibility of Independent Travel: We know you want the freedom to choose.

Bamba’s Hop-On Hop-Off bus passes offer flexible schedule changes anytime along a chosen route while Adventure Trips offer slightly more structured routes with unique trip-styles.

You Choose Your Accommodation: Enjoy the freedom to decide where to sleep. Choose an affordable and social hostel dorm or a cozy upscale lodge; the choice is yours!

Value: Bamba Experience believes that offering you tons of different included experiences is the best value-added aspect of your trip, so your trip includes tons of nature, culture, historic and adventure-based activities.

Authenticity: Bamba takes pride in our passion for showing travelers the true heart of every destination.

Included Experiences: You deserve to have cool experiences included in your trip so Bamba makes sure you don’t miss out by offering tons of different activities that bring value to your trip.

Why Independent Travel?

Travel your Way We believe that freedom is empowering. When you travel independently, you learn a lot about yourself, while seeing a whole new perspective of your surroundings. You’ll discover that you can connect on a deeper level with the local people, the environment, and with other travelers. Traveling independently doesn’t mean you travel alone. Bamba is your local friend in a foreign country.

Traveling with us, you’ll benefit from all of our great local insights into every place you set foot.

Traveling independently means doing what YOU want, when you want, choosing where to stay, where to eat and what sights to see. You can change direction or change your mind anytime by reinventing yourself when you’re in a place that moves you. You will learn a great deal about yourself, meet tons of people, and make loads of new friends along the way. In fact, meeting people is often easier for solo travelers (and there are tons of people out there traveling on their own!) As always, if you need anything at all, Bamba Experience is available to assist you via online chat, over the phone, skype, or on email!

Why Choose Bamba Experience for your Inca Trail?

HIGHLIGHTS Alternative Trekking Routes to Machu Picchu Small groups (4-12 trekkers) for Bamba travellers only Experienced English-speaking Peruvian guides & local porters Quality camping equipment & delicious Peruvian-style meals

Book in Advance: In efforts to preserve the original structures of Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail, the Peruvian government has limited the number of people allowed in the sites to 500 trekkers, porters and guides allowed on the Inca Trail, 400 trekkers on Wayna Picchu and 2,500 visitors in Machu Picchu archaeological site per day. For this reason it is very important to book early (anywhere from 3-6 months in advance). Your correct passport information is required to obtain your trekking permit, and absolutely no changes or transfers are allowed.

Alternative Trekking Routes to Machu Picchu Salkantay Trek - Discover a pristine and less frequented side of the majestic Andes mountain range by taking this alternative route to Machu Picchu with up-close and-personal views of massive Salkantay and Humantay mountain peaks standing over 6,000 meters high in the Cordillera Vilcanota range, the highest in Peru.

(View Page 23)

Andean mountains followed by trekking in the jungle through local mountain communities and an ultimate ending at Machu Picchu archaeological site.

(View Page 24) Lares Trek - An authentic look into life in the Andean countryside with fascinating views of the local villages where people still live as the Incas used to in thatched stone houses. Watch locals shepherding their llamas and alpacas around glacier lakes at the base of snow capped mountains and peek into a local school. Award yourself with a visit to the majestic site of Machu Picchu with its breathtaking landscape. (View Page 25) Choquequirao Trek - An invigorating trek into the heights of the Vilcabamba mountain range with 4,500 meter-high passes where condors fly gracefully overhead and the most stellar archaeological sites in Peru, Choquequirao and Machu Picchu, sit nestled in the mountainside among the lush tropical jungle.

Not in brochure, but it’s available, just ask your agent.

Short on Time? Try a 1 or 2-day excursion to Machu Picchu by train on the Peru Railway for a relaxing and scenic journey to Aguas Calientes and the famous Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu. While a one day visit is possible, we recommend staying overnight to enjoy the town and its pristine natural surroundings.
