Peru is a world-renowned hiking and trekking destination, with the famed Inca Trail and Machu Picchu two of the most coveted hiking destinations on the globe.
Peru is an epic fantasyland. Imagine scenery on the scale of an Indiana Jones or Lara Croft flick, with forgotten temples entangled in jungle vines, cobwebbed imperial tombs baking in the desert sun and ancient bejeweled treasures beyond reckoning. Wild rivers that rage, pumas that prowl in the night and hallucinogenic shaman rituals that are centuries old – and it’s not just a movie here, it’s real life.
Hidden Trails offer three excellent hiking expeditions in Peru. Two of our popular trekking trips follow the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu – the Inca Trail Hike and the Salkantay Trail Hike, as well as the Deluxe Mountain Lodges Trek.
Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is a mystical place, a monument to divinity, where people can feel that they are a creation of God. The high sense of spirituality that inhabits this place seems to transport its visitors to a place where everything "in an unimaginable way" is possible. It is a place where strange forces of nature allow the individuals to reach an incomparable cosmic state, a state that can only be experimented in Machu Picchu. It is one of the most popular archaeological sites of the world, and therefore, the most visited attraction in Peru. The Citadel of Machu Picchu (Quechua language "Old Mountain") is known throughout the world for its amazing ruins and its unusual location on a high mountain overlooking the mighty currents of the Urubamba river.
Hiking and trekking trip in Peru are a once in a lifetime opportunity to explore ancient Inca ruins, and bask in the spiritual and scenic glory of this South American gem.
