Push yourself to take on one of the worlds most beautiful treks, and create memories that will last a lifetime
Voted one of the top 25 treks in the world, this challenging expedition will take us beneath spectacular Andean peaks, through epic Peruvian landscapes and misty cloud forest. We begin our adventure in the colonial town of Cusco then spend two days at a community project nearby, helping with a range of activities to directly assist the community while acclimatising to the high altitude. After returning to Cusco and preparing our kit, we will begin our hike along the Salkantay trail. The route follows an ancient and remote Inca footpath, where snow-capped mountains collide with lush tropical rain forests. The paths are filled with wild strawberries, colourful butterflies and other exotic flora and fauna. Off the beaten path, this trek is one of the most interesting and challenging ways to experience the land of the ancient Incas.
