Stunning Andean landscapes and mysterious archaeological ruins make South America one of the world's most rewarding places to trek. All of our trips take in amazing scenery, Inca roads and fascinating Inca sites, thus appealing to fans of trekking, history, and archaeology alike. And don't worry if you don't scale mountains every weekend - our trips are designed to be accessible to the average, healthy person, not just the serious trekker and camper. We take plenty of time to get where we're going, and our team of cooks, porters and packhorses will do the camp work and carry the load, freeing you up to fully enjoy the sites and vistas unfolding before you.

JOURNEY TO CHOQUEQUIRAO

Highlights: 5-day trek to Choquequirao, Lima, Cuzco,
Sacred Valley, two days at Machu Picchu

Trip itinerary and details

Is it possible that in its setting and unbelievable vistas, Choquequirao is equal to or even more beautiful than Machu Picchu? As you sit on the small hill perched above this ancient city, watching wisps of cloud fly by at arm's length and condors soar high above, with snow-capped peaks all around and the Apurimac River raging over a mile below you, we think you'll agree. Choquequirao, often called Machu Picchu's sister city, is the most remote of the major Inca sites, and no doubt the fact that one must walk for two days to arrive there has kept it from achieving the fame it so deserves. But it is this remoteness which keeps it so pristine, with orchids and other flora in abundance and the definite possibility of seeing condors along the trail. It is truly one of the world's special places, and we are immensely proud of the opportunity to share it with you. Besides the trek to Choquequirao, our trip includes one day in Cuzco, one day in the Sacred Valley, one day in Lima, and two days within the Machu Picchu sanctuary.

Highlights: 9-day trek to Machu Picchu, Lima, Cuzco

Trip itinerary and details
 

Departures any day for two or more

 

Just like the name says, this is truly the ultimate Andean trekking experience.  We'll spend nine stunning days of this trip traversing old Inca roads in the remote Vilcabamba region of Peru, exploring seldom-visited and forest-clad ruins; spotting condors, Andean eagles and countless varieties of orchids and other flora; taking in the most magnificent vistas and landscapes of arguably any trek in South America; and finally arriving at the Sacred City itself, Machu Picchu, for a full day of exploration and discovery.  This is one of the most rewarding and exciting outdoor experiences to be had in South America, yet is completely accessible to the average healthy person.  Many of our former passengers had done very little or no trekking before this trip but enjoyed it immensely.  Our days are not long, averaging five hours of walking, so there is plenty of time to relax and enjoy this magnificent adventure.

HIGH ANDES TREKKING

14 days: US$2985 / GB£1510
Bolivia and Peru

Trip itinerary and details
 

Custom dates for four or more

 

Our high Andes adventure begins in Bolivia, known to many as the "Tibet of the Americas."  Like its Asian cousin, Bolivia is high, landlocked, ancient and esoteric.  La Paz, where we begin our trip, is a city of stunning contrasts where ancient Indian women hawk strange herbs in the shadow of modern skyscrapers.  From La Paz, we'll cross the barren and windswept altiplano to arrive at Lake Titicaca, where we'll take a launch to the site of the Inca creation myth on the Island of the Sun.  After a night by the lake shore, we'll travel to the village of Millipaya and the start of our high altitude trek.  Accompanied by llamas and packhorses to carry our things, we'll climb to the rooftop of the world, a pristine glacier lake at over 5,000 meters.  Finally, we round out our adventure by flying to neighboring Peru and visiting the archaeological jewel of the continent, Machu Picchu.
