Great Inca Trail to Pariacaca
6 DAYS Starting from $5,990 per person
Come face to face with one of the Incas’ most astonishing feats of engineering on this 6-Day Great Inca Trail to Pariacaca trekking adventure. Venture far off the beaten path southeast of Lima to hike one of the most breathtaking and well-preserved sections of Inca road in South America, accompanied by a traditional llama caravan. Pass through the Nor-Yauyos reserve, cross a stunning high-altitude mountain pass, and keep an eye out for rupestrian imagery. If travel broadens the mind, this trip will shatter the parameters.
Trip at a Glance
HIGHLIGHTS
- Walk the Great Inca Trail, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that traverses remote Andean landscapes that only a handful of Westerners have had the privilege to reach.
- The chance to descend the grand Inca staircase at Pariacaca, a stupefying but barely known feat of engineering that espouses the Incas’ spiritual relationship with nature.
- Carry only a daypack while a traditional llama caravan does the rest. Benefit from a method of transport that has been all but lost to humanity.
- Camp in ultimate comfort and warmth, with quality sleeping bags and Therm-a-Rest sleeping mats in your spacious two-man tent. Enjoy four wholesome meals every day and make use of a private tented bathroom.
- If desired, take a private tour of the main sites of Lima, including the Larco Archaeological Museum, the San Francisco Monastery, Lima’s historical squares and Miraflores.
