To suit the adventure traveler with a busy schedule, we've designed eight different Peru hiking tours, ranging from 7 to 14 days, to the country's premier destinations. Immerse yourself in Incan culture with a Machu Picchu hiking trip through the Sacred Valley, along the Inca Trail, or into the Salcantay wilderness to reach this civilization's crown jewel. Pair your Inca hiking experience with a visit to the country's other famous sights, an Amazon eco-tour, Andes trekking or exploring Lake Titicaca. The endless riches of nature and history await you in Peru.
