Hiking the Inka Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru is South America's greatest trekking adventure and is ranked as one of the three best treks of the world! The trail starts at an altitude of about 2,800 meters from Km 82 / Piscacucho and traverses the Andes, crossing exciting sites like Dead Woman's Pass which, at 4,200 meters high, is the peak point of the trek.

A few other impressive Inca sites are waiting for you such as Wiñayhuayna or "Forever Young" before descending towards the always fascinating Machu Picchu (2,450 m).

It takes four days to reach the legendary Inca city and, with the exception of the Dead Woman's Pass, this trek is not too demanding. The Inca Trail is rightly famous for its spectacular Andean scenery, full of snow-capped mountains between June and October, as well as the captivating Inca ruins you could meet along the way.

The history of Peru is brought to life by our professional tour guides as we walk in the footsteps of the Incas in the company of their modern day descendants, our porters from the Sacred Valley.

TREK COLCA CANYON in 2 Days / 1 Night

TREK COLCA CANYON

2 Days / 1 Night

Thermal Baths of Calera

We believe this to be a preferred trek for those who enjoy hiking and contact with nature. The hours of trekking per day are not too long. Colca Canyon is a canyon of the Colca River in southern Peru. It is located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Arequipa. It is more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the United States 4,160 m. However, the canyon's walls are not as vertical as those of the Grand Canyon. Since they are such major features of the andscape.

The Colca Valley is a colorful Andean valley with towns founded in Spanish Colonial times and formerly inhabited by the Collaguas and the Cabanas. The local people still maintain ancestral traditions and continue to cultivate the pre-Inca stepped terraces.

Throughout the region, you can see colorful pre-Incan agricultural terraces still used today for growing quinoa, corn, barley, and wheat. During the pre-Hispanic era, the department was inhabited by the Collaguas and the Cabanas; today, the inhabitants have learned to conserve their Colonial churches in Yanque, Lari, and Madrigal, and they continue to wear their traditional clothing.

The Colca Canyon is home of animals such as the Andean condor among other 100 species of birds, four types of camelids: vicuna, guanaco, llama and alpaca. In addition there are over 300 species of plants, of which 30 are cactus, not to mention the original green yareta.

One of the most valuable events of the visit to the canyon is the dawn near the cliff where you can see, at dawn, flying about 20 condors.

The Colca Valley is ideal for recreational and artistic activities like painting, photography, poetry, among others, just as it is ripe for adventure sports like trekking, rafting, climbing, cycling, etc.

4 days / 3 Nights

It is situated in the spur of the Salkantay Mountain range, at over 3030 meters, surrounded by the Apus (mountain gods) of Yamana, Ampay, Chokecarpu, Pumasiyo and Panta, on the left bank of the Apurimac River.

During the time of the Incas, everything was connected and in communication with Machu Picchu through a complex network of trails.

Choquequirao is considered "The Last Refuge of the Inca Empire". Visitors will have the chance to discover a complex hydraulic system, most likely for domestic, ceremonial and agricultural use.
Its geographic location in reference to other religious centers of the same period tends to indicate that its function was that of an Inca enclave toward the valleys of the Apurímac River. There are many similarities between Choquequirao and Machu Picchu.
