Trekking in Peru
The Andes! The Incas!
Fabulous mountain scenery and trekking, exhilarating weather, the wonderful architecture of the Incas and always an option to drop off the Andes into the Amazon basin. Add to that the special vibrancy, colour and cacophony of its Andean and colonial culture and a visit to Peru is an experience seldom matched anywhere in the world.
Cordillera Blanca and Huayhuash
The Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash, with 40 peaks over 6000m are a remarkable part of the mighty Andes. The scenery and trekking easily rival that of Nepal and the Himalayas, with the added bonus of fewer trekkers and generally a fine and settled weather pattern from May to September. If you also want to see Cusco and Machu Picchu consider an extension after your trek.
EXTENSION:
5 days ex Lima. Cusco & Machu Picchu (train). £590 twin share
8 days ex Lima. Cusco, Inca Trail & Machu Picchu. £710 twin share plus Inca Trail permit US$75
Detailed Itinerary
Cusco and Machu Picchu
Cusco and Machu Picchu need little introduction. Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire, perched high in the Andes at 3350m, is today a fascinating blend of Inca sites and stylish Spanish colonial architecture. To combine a visit to Cusco, with a trek along the 'Inca Trail' (or train ride) to Machu Picchu remains an experience of a lifetime.
The Inca Trail
New booking regulations and increasing demand means that availability is at a premium. We advise booking at least 5 months ahead. Book early! The entrance fee for the Trail has recently been increased and is additional to any of our prices, currently US$75.
