Description

When visiting a fascinating country like Peru, the options to explore are endless. Therefore, I crafted this unique itinerary. So you’ll be able to visit the most iconic spots on this country in just 21 days.

Over three weeks we’ll visit the most famous corners of Peru, from the south region bordering Bolivia, to the Vilcanota mountain range, including of course the unrivalled Machu Picchu.

At the south, we’ll explore the volcanic mountain range in Arequipa. Here, we will visit this colonial city, with its uniquely white architecture. Then, we will head towards the Colca Canyon, for a three day trekking adventure. At the heart of this majestic place, we’ll reach the nest of the condors, where we’ll be able to see them flying right above us. To end our first week, we will head to the Titicaca lake at the Llachon peninsula, where we’ll hike through secluded places away from tourists.

Thereupon we will head to the sacred Inca Valley, visiting its numerous archaeological sites, easily reached from Cusco. And of course, we will trek through the incomparable Machu Picchu.

Finally, on our third week we will hike across Ausangate (6,300 m), at the heart of the Vilcanota mountain range, with its snow capped mountains rising above 6,000 meters.

Please note this is a long journey that requires an excellent fitness level, and a good acclimatization. But the places we will get to see will make it completely worth all our effort.

So if you are up for this challenge, don’t hesitate and request to book this trip today. It would be my absolute pleasure to be your guide on this incredible trip.

What people are saying about E-S Latam Adventure Guides

Christopher

We wish we could have Simon as our guide on every trek we do. His mountaineering experience and extensive knowledge of the area was impressive and definitely enhanced the trek for us. On top of this, we got along great with Simon and appreciate his easy going personality and sense of humor. We will definitely request Simon as our guide for the next hike we do from El Chalten!

Jim

Thoroughly recommended. Daniel is an excellent guide and we had a great day out.

Chase

This was a fantastic mountaineering trip to Ecuador. The altitude was a bit of a challenge, but Ramiro did a great job with the acclimatization schedule leading up to the taller mountains. Overall, this was a challenging experience given the altitude of the climbs as well as the back-to-back climbing of four mountains. I would highly recommend this excursion for anyone who wants to experience a fantastic country/culture as well as someone who wants to gain some nice experience mountaineering!

Fredy Tipan is like a superhero of the outdoor world. He knows absolutely everyone, has climbed and guided in the most epic of locations all around the world, knows the mountains like old friends, and really loves what he does and who he does it for. Our trip was completely messed up after an issue with our airline tickets. We weren't going to be able to leave until a week after our planned departure which jeopardized our entire trek with Fredy. We didn't expect him to take any sort of responsibility in replanning as it was our mistake that caused the airline issue but he absolutely did. Within days he rearranged the entire trek so that we would be able to summit all our desired peaks without cutting the days down and without changing the cost. He is a class act and an incredible guide and I'd say my husband and I both consider him a friend as well. We will definitely be booking another trip with Fredy Tipan and recommend him to anyone looking for the real deal in outdoor Guides. Thank you, Fredy!
