Inca Trail
Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu (4 days)
The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is one of Peru's star attractions and it's not hard to see why. Although the altitude can be testing, the trek itself is suitable for just about everybody and offers not only beautiful scenery and unique wildlife but also an unparalleled way to approach the magical lost city of Machu Picchu. Not only do you get a tremendous feeling of satisfaction but you also get to see this stunning site before the trainloads of tourists arrive from Cusco. Click here for our full Inca Trail itinerary
Short Inca Trail (2 days)
If you don't have the time or inclination for the full 4-day Inca Trail, this shorter Inca Trail trek basically gives you the last day of the full trek, with a guided tour of Machu Picchu the next day once you've got your breath back! Click here for our shorter Inca Trail itinerary
Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu (5 days)
More spectacular than the "Classic" Inca Trail, this alternative route via the Salkantay pass is a little tougher and higher as well. You get much more of a taste of the high Andes on this route before you descend to the utterly different semi-tropical cloud forest environment of Machu Picchu...

Lares trek (3 days)
If you think the Inca Trail might be a bit more than you can chew, then this more gentle 3-day trek, ending in the Sacred Valley, could be the one for you, offering stunning views over snow-capped peaks and glacial lagoons. Click here for the Lares trek itinerary
Choquequirao trek (4 days)
The little-known Inca site of Choquequirao is incredibly impressive and probably the only Inca site to compare to Machu Picchu. This excellent trek takes you through largely semi-tropical environments and can be extended to finish at Machu Picchu itself as well. Click here for our Choquequirao trek
Central Andes

Starting from the trekking centre of Huaraz in the Central Andes, this superb 4-day trek takes you through some of the best of Peru's alpine scenery, including the high peaks like Huascaran and beautiful glacial lakes like Llanaganuco. Click here for the full trek itinerary

This lovely day trek is a great way to acclimatise for any of the longer treks in the Huaraz area. it offers a fairly steep ascent without extreme altitude, and the banks of the crater lake of Churup offer an unbeatable picnic-spot for your lunch! Lake Churup trek itinerary
Cordillera Huayhuash (8 days)
For probably the best high-altitude trekking in the world, head to the Cordillera Huayhuash, south-east from Huaraz. The enormous snow-capped peaks, the stunning series of glacial lakes and the sheer remoteness of this amazing environment have to be seen to be believed. Click here for a full Huayhuash trek
