Peru – discover its secrets with us
Peru is a country that impresses with both majestic landscapes and an unusual, mysterious history. At every step, we encounter traces of the fascinating Inca civilization from the 13th century BC and the spirit of ancient times is felt. The impressive buildings that the Incas erected on the steep slopes of the Andes made this ancient people famous, and Machu Picchu was proclaimed one of the 7 Wonders of the World.
Peru is also the most beautiful mountains in the Western Hemisphere. The Andes are the longest mountain range in the world. The part of the Andes that is in Peru is the Cordillera Blanca. During the Santa Cruz trek, we will admire the majestic peaks – the highest Huascarán (6768 m), the most beautiful Alpamayo and the most “image” Artesonraju known from the top Paramount Pictures. This trekking is undoubtedly a showcase of Peru.
And what else awaits us during a magical trip to Peru – straight to the heart of the Andes?
Inca Footsteps
In addition to the unique trekking, which attracts lovers of mountain hiking from around the world, we will also see a number of other attractions of Peru that will seduce our hearts.
A trip to Peru means wonderful nature, friendly inhabitants and the authenticity of culture and tradition will accompany us from Huaraz, where we will start our Andean adventure, through Lima, to Arequipa and Puno, from where you can even see the Bolivian border.
We will feel the atmosphere of Cuzco walking through its narrow, stone streets, and tasting delicious cuisine and the taste of pisco sour will be remembered for a long time.
We will visit the city and its surrounding attractions. From here we will set off for another trekking to discover numerous Inca structures on the trail, which will lead us to the lost city of Machu Picchu. Ancient ruins against the background of the mountains, at the foot of which the Urubamba River meanders, is a sight that will make our dreams come true.
A trip to Peru – a wealth of impressions
In addition to conquering high passes, during our trip we will experience the feeling of stepping on a floating island in Lake Titicaca and let ourselves be carried away by the current of the river while rafting on the Rio Chili River. Walking over the abyss of the Colca Canyon, we will feel the dignity of the condor, and llamas and vicuñas will pose for photos.
We will visit the historic city of Arequipa, where its colonial buildings made of white volcanic rock are impressive, and the perfect cone of the El Misti volcano rises above the city. Delicious food and the atmosphere of local restaurants will make your stay here too short.
On the way to Lima, there will also be a moment of reflection over the giant geoglyphs carved in Nazca. A walk through the streets of the capital will end our Peruvian adventure.
What we can promise you is that your trip to Peru will be one you will remember for the rest of your life!

What experience and how fit do I need to be to climb this mountain? Is this program suitable for children or older people?
For our mountain climbing trips: If they are easily accessible mountains: For easy-climb mountains, well, you don’t need much experience, but if you already want to climb mountains above 6,000 meters and the conditions become more difficult, we recommend if you already want to go through mountains above 6,000 meters, have a basic or intermediate course for a good preparation.

Regarding older people: It all depends on the condition of experience and how well the person is in health, on many occasions older people are the best to walk in the mountains because they have more experience, so it is always good to ask and find out about their experience of older participant.

What happens in the event of bad weather?
About the meteorological conditions of the climate, we try to organize the trips of each tour in the best season to have the best views and enjoy the selected trip but sometimes even is good season we can have bad weather, in this case on hiking or treks trips The complications are minimal, but when this happens during high-altitude climbing expeditions, the complications can become very difficult, that is why the bosses or leaders of the local guides must always make the most correct decision for the safety of our passengers, so we always recommend listening to the best advice from the local guide assigned for each tour. If you have any other questions please contact us. For calls or inquiries to this number: +51 943 081 066
Can I join a group?
We as a local company and connoisseurs of tours have departures on different dates. 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 .
