River trips: Guiding people safely down world wide rivers is our specialty, and you’ll be in good hands on this incredible river as our guides are well experienced and certified with Swift Water Rescue and Wilderness First Aid courses.
Of course, your enthusiastic paddling will greatly enhance the journey! The Apurímac’s deep granite gorge, inviting white sand beaches and world-class whitewater make this river trip one of the best in the world!
The Inca Trail: The whole of Peru was once criss-crossed with Inca and pre-Inca highways paved with thick interlocking stone. Sometimes these highways followed the valleys, but just as often, they traversed the high mountainsides, tracing impossible pathways and forming narrow ledges over the bottomless gorges of the Andes. The trails were built for men on foot and lightly burdened llamas. Frequently, their gradients gave way to steps, tunnels and long zig-zag trajectories down steep faces. The part of the trail that we trek along was formerly the royal highway to Machu Picchu. In 1915, Hiram Bingham rediscovered the trail. Few relatively short hikes in the world can offer such a variety of breathtaking scenery and such a varied mix of jungle and high sierra. Certainly no other walk known to us will lead you along an ancient highway from one secluded ruin to another, each in a stunning setting, each almost perfectly preserved, offering shelter, solitude and views that no pen or camera can ever adequately record. We invite you to grab a paddle, lace up your hiking boots and dive into Peru for the adventure of a lifetime!
