INSIDER ACCESS, EASY PLANNING, TRUSTED CONNECTIONS

Treks to Machu Picchu should be at the top of your list of must-do vacations. You’ll end up at the awe-inspiring Inca site of Machu Picchu, and along the way you’ll also get to see staggering views as well as other impressive Inca ruins. Porters and guides will be along for the hike, and will help make sure you have the trek of a lifetime.

PLANNING A TREKKING TRIP IN PERU

Trekking trips are ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. The trips can last from 2 to 5 nights, with the mileage varying from day to day. On some treks you'll carry your own pack, while on others you'll have horses and porters to transport all the supplies. Food is provided and cooked for you. All of this support makes it easy to enjoy what you came here to do — hike, explore, take photographs, and experience the best of the Peruvian outdoors.

We Conquered Huayna Picchu

This was a very personal experience and Anywhere.com does an amazing job of having agents who are cultured and/or very familiar with the country to which you wish to visit. This allows the agent to listen to what you want to experience and then match you up with the right outfitter, vendor, excursion group, etc...I felt like Sara Nizama truly listened to my wants/needs and made them a reality. I am so happy with my Peru experience, thanks to Sara and her team. I want to go back soon and explore more of Peru with the help of Sara and her team. Thank you!

Huayna Picchu Hiking Tour
BestHiking

This 2-hour hiking tour is a breathtaking complement to a visit to the Machu Picchu ruins. You will leave for Huayna Picchu mountain from Aguas Calientes, the small town that is nearest Machu Picchu. Huayna Picchu’s peak towers over Machu Picchu – at the summit of Huayna Picchu, hikers will be 1,180 feet (360 m) higher than ruins of Machu Picchu, at 8,920 feet (2,720 meters) above sea level.

Trekking to Lagoon 69
BestHiking

Hike through Huascarán National Park to see one of the most gorgeous treks in the Cordillera Blanca — the trek to Laguna 69. It’s relatively easy to access and offers unforgettable views of the snowy landscape.

Day Cruise Puno to La Paz by Catamaran and buses
BestCatamaran TourHiking

Take this tour to learn about modern culture around the lake as well as the fascinating history left behind by the indigenous people. This tour takes you to the many attractions on Sun Island, the legendary birthplace of the Inca Sun God and the Inca empire itself. The first stop of the tour is at Copacabana, the main Bolivian town on the shores of Lake Titicaca, so make sure to bring your passport and a visa!

Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain 1 Day
BestHikingPhotography

This tour allows you to experience beautiful views of the Palccoyo “Rainbow” Mountain. The colorful stripes on the mountain are layers of sediment exposed by erosion. How bright the colors appear depends on the weather — the colors can be more dull on cloudy or rainy days, but no matter what the conditions on the day of your tour there’s still plenty to see on this one-day trek.

Hiking to Perolniyoc Waterfall
Guided ToursHiking

The Perolniyoc Waterfall is a lesser-known sight in the Sacred Valley, just outside of Ollantaytambo. Travelers come here to admire the pristine beauty of the falls – this is a bit more off the beaten path, giving you the chance to experience a natural wonder without crowds. At the top of the canyon, you’ll also get to see the Inca ruins of Raqaypata.

Mandor Waterfall Hiking Tour
HikingNature Walk

Some say that the path to adventure is uncertain and unknown. When hiking to Peru’s Mandor Waterfall, the path to adventure takes you through the village of Aguas Calientes, past the bridges of Machu Picchu, up a ladder, past train tracks, through a garden, and jungle. After all of this, you still have a waterfall to look forward to — talk about taking the scenic route.

PERU’S TOP TREKS

Peru has several trails that are famous throughout the world. Of these, the Inca Trail is the best known. This trail traverses the Sacred Valley , passing old Inca structures and highland passes as it makes its way towards the final destination: Machu Pichhu . There's nothing quite like hiking for a few days and then ending up at the crown jewel of Inca archeology. For a longer trek on a less-crowded trail, consider the Salkantay trek .

LET’S START PLANNING
