General Information
These are just some of our most popular Peru treks and hikes. Our descriptions of treks are a summary only; CONTACT US for a detailed description, details and prices. We can also “tailor” make a special trek to suit your requests or plans, just let us know what you would like to do.

COMBINE your Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash Trek experience with a visit to CUSCO TO MACHU PICCHU for some exciting TREKS TOURS and also trek THE FAMOUS INCA TRAIL or the Alternative inca trail treks to LARES, SALCANTAY or CHOQUEQUIRAO

Good acclimatisation to the altitude is important before starting any trek. We recommend that you arrive in Huaraz at least two days before your trek starts so that you have time to start acclimatising. We can recommend and organise suitable day hikes to help with the acclimatisation process.

See our Day Hikes page for options

During treks we use donkeys to carry camping & cooking equipment, tents, food and your personal bag. You only carry a light day pack with camera, snacks, water bottle, warm jacket etc. Our guides and crew are very experienced and know how to manage trekking at altitude. We always walk slowly, take plenty of rest breaks and make sure that you have plenty of boiled water to drink.

See our SERVICES page for a full description of services that we offer.

Cordillera Blanca Trekking and Hiking

cordillera-blanca-treks

The Cordillera Blanca means “White Mountain Range” which is true testament to the range of almost countless snow capped peaks, many of which are visible from Huaraz. Most of the Cordillera Blanca falls within the boundaries of the Huascarán National Park which was formed in 1975 with the objective of conserving the enormous variety of unique wild flora and fauna, geological formations and archaeological remains found within a series of diverse habitats in the Cordillera Blanca. We have a series of treks from 2 to 13 days which transverse through the valleys and ranges of the Cordillera Blanca, offering some of the most varied and spectacular trekking scenery of anywhere in the world.

Trekking Cordillera Huayhuash and Cordillera Raura

cordillera-huayhuash-trek

The Cordillera Huayhuash has been nominated in many publications as one of the “classic” trekking circuits of the world. The Huayhuash is a compact, rugged range, and includes the second highest peak in Peru - Yerupajá Grande - 6634m and also Siula Grande made famous by Joe Simpson in his book “Touching The Void” and in the subsequent film. Every day on the trek hikers are treated to awesome close views of snow capped peaks, glaciers and blue trout-filled lakes. We offer a range of treks from a full circuit of 15 days including a visit to Siula Grande Base Camp to a “mini” Huayhuash trek of 8 days. The Cordillera Raura is a remote range adjacent to the Cordillera Huayhuash not well known by tourists and infrequently visited by trekking groups. It is a hidden paradise of lush green valleys, waterfalls and hundreds of trout filled lakes, sparsely inhabited by local farmers.
