Join me for this adventure of a lifetime on one of the most beautiful hikes in the world through the unspoiled wilderness of the Cordillera Huayuash in Peru!
Over the course of our eight-day odyssey, we will climb over mountain passes, enjoying stunning views of the surrounding snowcapped peaks, majestic glaciers, turquoise-blue lakes and pristine valleys.
The journey is an exemplary sampling of Peru’s natural diversity. Within 24 hours, you will enjoy panoramic views straight off a postcard and be soaking in natural thermal waters, replenishing your energy and sense of adventure.
Along the way we will meet people indigenous to the region and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime cultural exchange. We will walk through history, hearing about the stories and adventures of explorers who charted these lands long before us.
Each day, we will start out with a hearty breakfast in order to provide us with the energy we need for the average of five to six hours of walking we will do. There will never be a dull moment as we trek through the wilderness, with dozens of species of native flora and fauna over every ridge.
If we are lucky, we might catch glimpses of the foxes, condors and vizcachas (a rodent that looks a lot like the combination of a mouse and rabbit) along the way.
No high level of skill is required for this adventure, but due to the sustained nature of the hiking, we recommend all participants to be physically fit.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for the hike of a lifetime through some of the most beautiful nature on the planet!
