Trekking
Peru is probably best known for its Inca ancestry and the hidden cities left behind. There are many tours to choose from to discover these for yourself, ranging from two-day excursions to three-week challenges. The reward for the trek (mostly uphill and rocky) will be the spectacular scenery and wildlife encountered along the way, as well as the wonder at seeing these centuries-old cities up close. Machu Picchu is the popular choice, but if you prefer somewhere a little less crowded, Choquequirao is the nearby 'sister', which can only be reached on foot. As well as mountain summits and ruins, Peru also has fantastic treks, through canyons in Arequipa and up to glacial lakes from Huaraz. Most routes require an average level fitness, with some designed for those needing more comfort, as well as those up for a demanding challenge.
