- Lima Huaraz Santa Cruz trek & Pisco Machu Picc…
Peru in the heart of South America hosts huge natural spaces that could not be more contradictory. The barren coastal desert on the cold Pacific with its fertile river valleys, the wild and rugged mountains of the Andes, traditional habitat of the indigenous population. The mighty, snow-capped peaks of the Andes, many of them over 6,000 meters high, not only make the heart of every climber beat faster. Several dozen six-thousander are located in the impressive Huascaran National Park in the Cordillera Blanca.
The ten-day trekking takes us into the bizarre mountains, to enchanted forests, to mountain streams and lagoons, which are covered with lupins. You will be accompanied by our local escort team, the luggage will be carried by mules and donkeys.
After trekking, we fly from Lima to the enchanting colonial town of Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire. The highlight is the drive to the world-famous Inca ruins Machu Picchu. The journey to the “City in the Clouds”, through the fertile Urubamba Valley, is unusual. A journey could not be more varied. A journey into the natural wonder of Peru.

The best thing to do is to join a travel group to take care of your budget, and of course you can join our groups, but on trips like mountaineering we recommend going in small groups. To join a group, ask us for the dates and we will send you the necessary information to be able to join any of our trips.
Why go in a private trip: For trips whether trekking or high mountains, going privately is the most recommended option, but the costs are more expensive. So, if one joins a group, the prices will be more reasonable. In the mountains, the only disadvantage is if you are in a wall with another partner and if one of the participants gets tired or gets sick. In this case, you have to abort or cancel the summit and return together. For more information, contact us. We can schedule a call via WhatsApp to clarify all your questions.
In a mountain, for example, if 3 people go and one of the participants falls ill on the route, for security reasons they have to cancel or abort the summit or return all together. The same in a technical mountain if the climbing partner gets sick they all have to return, for these reasons sometimes it is better to go private only because for a single person the costs are more expensive for the same reason that the trip would already be private .
