Highlights
- Hike on ancient Inca Trails which very few foreigners get to experience. Meet the locals who still use these historic transport arteries daily and marvel in the wide open landscapes of the Andes.
- Hike little-known Inca ruins like Inkilltambo, Rumi Wasi and Huchuy Qosqo almost entirely to yourself – a moving contrast to the popularity of Machu Picchu.
- Hike into a remote Andean village whose Inca traditions are still thriving. Enjoy a fresh mountain lunch and a community visit (the women are incredible weavers) before hiking back out.
- Start the Inca Trail at KM104, seeing the best that the trail has to offer while reducing the time spent hiking.
- Overnight stays in comfortable hotels between the various day-hikes, to give you the opportunity to rest your hardworking body and make use of all amenities.
