PERU
Peru's classics.
Our pick of the 10 hiking & trekking worth booking in Peru, with the details that matter: what you see, how long you need, and what it costs.
Half-day Sillar Route trek from Arequipa: Añashuayco quarry, Culebrillas canyon petroglyphs, and volcano viewpoints with a guide.
“Great value for money, lovely to see the Sillar route. We took the afternoon session and the light was fantastic.”
One-day Ausangate 7 Lakes trek from Cusco with breakfast, lunch, and Pacchanta hot springs, plus great Andes views.
“Amazing hike with incredible views. The food is basic but also nice. Loved this day tour”
2-day Colca Canyon trek from Arequipa with early bus ride, guided descent, Sangalle Oasis stay, hot springs, and possible condors.
“Amazing guide Rafael! It was a unique hike, amazing views - keep in mind that it is not an easy one.”
Cusco’s Rainbow Mountain hike to Vinicunca (5,020 m) with early pickup, bilingual guides, breakfast, and lunch. Optional Red Valley.
“Had the most amazing time! I can totally recommend this company because they really value your feedback. Our guide, Joel, was translating all the information into English just for me, considering I was the only non-Spanish speaker on the bus. Everything was perfect, from the smooth transport to the delicious food (with plenty of vegetarian…”
A full-day hike from Cusco to Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley, with included meals, oxygen, and small-group care at altitude.
“Passeio ótimo sem problemas. Recomendo.”
A challenging early-morning hike from Huaraz to Lagoon 69, with Llanganuco Gorge views and brilliant blue reflections under big peaks.
“Bellissima escursione! Se siete a Huaraz, consiglio di fare questa gita”
A fast Salkantay trek from Cusco to Machu Picchu in 3 days, with altitude, jungle paths, one hut night, and guided Circuit 2 entry.
“Absolutely memorable experience across the Andes, admiring stunning nature, pushing physical limits, and just having so much fun. The three days are very intense and not appropriate for those who conduct a very sedentary life but it's something you'll remember forever. The trekking part was exceptional, maybe the cultural and informational one could be slightly…”
Rainbow Mountain trek from Cusco: sunrise pickup, alpaca-filled hike to Vinicunca, geology views at 5,020 m, and a long but worth it return.
“Es war ein guter Ausflug, allerdings habe ich die Beschreibung missverstanden, ich dachten wandert ca.3 h hin un 2 h zurück, es waren aber nur 3h insgesamt zum Wandern. Außerdem hat mir die Information gefehlt, dass man zum red valley auch noch gehen kann für 30 Soles zusätzlich. Hätte gerne mehr Zeit gehabt am Vinicunca…”
2-day Colca Canyon trek from Arequipa with condor viewing, Sangalle lodge pool time, sunrise uphill, and optional hot springs.
“We really enjoyed this 2-day trip to the Canon de Colca. The landscape was incredible and our tour guide, Eveline, was really competent and kind. She gave us some info and then let us free to enjoy this experience at our best supporting us in the hardes part of the treck. The tour was realised…”
A private-style Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain hike from Cusco with early pickup, small-group pacing, breakfast and lunch, plus oxygen and alpaca time.
“We had a fantastic time exploring Palcoyo, thanks to our experienced guide, Jesús Carrion. The tour started promptly, and Jesús took great care of us throughout the day. Although the walk to Palcoyo, also known as the alternative Rainbow Mountain, was relatively easy and moderate, the high altitude of 4900m caused my husband to feel…”
