About this experience

Peru – discover its secrets with us
Peru is a country that impresses with both majestic landscapes and an unusual, mysterious history. At every step, we encounter traces of the fascinating Inca civilization from the 13th century BC and the spirit of ancient times is felt. The impressive buildings that the Incas erected on the steep slopes of the Andes made this ancient people famous, and Machu Picchu was proclaimed one of the 7 Wonders of the World.

Peru is also the most beautiful mountains in the Western Hemisphere. The Andes are the longest mountain range in the world. The part of the Andes that is in Peru is the Cordillera Blanca. During the Santa Cruz trek, we will admire the majestic peaks – the highest Huascarán (6768 m), the most beautiful Alpamayo and the most “image” Artesonraju known from the top Paramount Pictures. This trekking is undoubtedly a showcase of Peru.

And what else awaits us during a magical trip to Peru – straight to the heart of the Andes?
