Additional Information

Here we introduce our best and top hikes to get to Machu Picchu which are not Classic Inca Trail, These trails go through the remote places of the Andes, trails connecting the highlands with the cloud forest, and trails which link the ancient Lost Incan Citadels, like Choquequirao (last residence of the Inca Emperor) with Machu Picchu, or trails going around the skirts of the highest peak in Cusco which is Ausangate where life is still intact as used to be years ago. At the heart of the Andes, Peru has some of the best hiking on the continent – the variety of trails is downright staggering. Each exhilarating day of hiking will end at our exclusive camps, where we can enjoy peaceful nights beneath a starry sky. Our fitting finale is a visit to the extraordinary Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. Any of the alternative treks are a true trek into the heart of the Inca Empire. Join us!
