Of all the treks leading up to the world famous Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, the Salkantay Trek is the most challenging and the most beautiful. Located in the same region as the more popular Inca Trail, take an ancient footpath through both subtropical jungle and high-altitude mountains (including the trek’s namesake of Salkantay, the highest peak of the region). On the way, pass throught the Humantay Lake and see amazingly diverse wildlife and some lesser-known Inca ruins, ultimately arriving at the incomparable Machu Picchu after several days.

Located in the Cordillera Blanca range near the city of Huaraz in northern Peru, the Santa Cruz trek is one of the most beautiful mountain treks in Peru. See native Andean wildlife in its natural habitat and incredibly beautiful alpine scenery, including the famous Laguna 69. Located just 10 hours from Lima by bus, it’s both accessible and remote at the same time. Well worth the detour north from the capital.
More than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, the famous Colca Canyon is the second deepest in the world and a must see for many visitors to Peru. This strenuous hike will reward you with gorgeous waterfalls, colorful flowers, majestic birds, and interesting pre Inca ruins as you descend deep into the canyon.

This 4, 5, or 7 day trek circles the sacred snow-covered mountain of Ausangate in the heart of the Andes. Ascend from lower valleys up to a maximum altitude of 5,200 meters or 17,060 feet, passing by gorgeous glaciers, lakes and mountain vistas along the way. This is a difficult trek due to the altitude and the remoteness of the area, but the entire trek is breathtaking and well worth the effort required. Along the trek you explore the Rainbw mountain, Red Valley and 7 Lakes trek.
Most people who come to Peru will pay a visit to the world famous Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. Not many people will take the time to visit Machu Picchu’s “little sister,” called Choquequirao. In many ways, Choquequirao is very similar to its more famous relative, with beautiful stone buildings tucked deep in the Andes with the jungle at its feet. The main difference is that The Trek To Choquequirao requires three to four days to reach. You’re much less likely to run into other tourists, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience of discovering a forgotten Inca citadel.

Once considered a dangerous route due to hazardous trails in the region, the Cordillera Huayhuash Circuit is now becoming increasingly popular among trekkers with the installment of improved infrastructure and security measures by the Peruvian government in recent years. This trek hits a sweet spot for travelers: it’s just well-known enough to be safe but not well-known enough to be overrun with tourists. It’s likely you may only see one or two other groups of hikers during your entire trip. It’s a difficult one, passing high altitudes and rocky terrain, but those who choose to undertake it will be rewarded with pristine glacial lakes, snow-capped mountains and close encounters with native communities.
Best scenic and cultural trekking route, that treks completely off the beaten path. You pass through the most isolated indigenous communities keeping the Inca culture alive, and get the privilege to interact with them. The unique route is incredibly picturesque, with majestic ice glaciers, shockingly blue glacial lakes, waterfalls, llamas, and alpacas. Check the #1 Operator for this unique trek here!
