Customizable trekking and walking programs designed by our Cusco-based team for travel agencies and tour operators.
Around Cusco, walking routes connect Inca archaeology with high passes, cultivated valleys and cloud forest. The Classic Inca Trail brings these landscapes together on a distinctive approach to Machu Picchu.
Lares offers mountain routes shaped by contemporary Andean life, while Ausangate and Choquequirao reward experienced hikers with more demanding terrain. Farther north, Huaraz opens the door to the glacial valleys and lakes of the Cordillera Blanca.
Build each program around your clients’ experience, pace and comfort expectations. The experiences below are customizable concepts, with route selection, acclimatization time and community visits planned individually.
Steve FUNG · CC BY-SA · Wikimedia CommonsFollow ancient stone pathways through archaeological sites and changing Andean scenery toward Machu Picchu on a demanding, camping-based trek, crossing Dead Woman’s Pass at approximately 4,215 m. Plan well ahead for permits and confirm guide, porter and load arrangements, subject to current official regulations.

The classic crossing reaches approximately 4,600 m at Salkantay Pass, requiring strong fitness, acclimatization planning and equipment for cold heights, rain and warmer lower elevations.

Route choice determines altitude and difficulty; cultural exchanges complement the trek rather than replace preparation for high-elevation walking.
Stefanos Nikologianis · CC BY 2.0 · Wikimedia CommonsExplore glacial scenery, colorful mountain formations and remote Andean terrain on carefully selected day hikes or multi-day routes. Significant altitude, exposed conditions and physical demands call for experienced route planning, suitable fitness and acclimatization time; a day hike is not necessarily an easy option.

Long descents, sustained climbs, heat on lower sections and remote camping logistics make this a demanding expedition best suited to experienced hikers.

Allow acclimatization time around Huaraz before this high-altitude camping trek, with appropriate guiding, weather-ready equipment and flexibility for mountain conditions.
V1cnando · CC BY-SA · Wikimedia CommonsCombine mountain biking, walking and trekking through mountain and tropical foothill landscapes before reaching Machu Picchu; this is a multi-activity route, not the traditional Inca Trail. Private groups can adjust the activity mix, with rafting or ziplining considered only where offered and suitable, following checks on equipment, briefings, participant requirements, weather and operating conditions. Plan for changing climates and altitude, and explore complementary Outdoor Adventure concepts.
Private guiding and carefully paced walking can complement higher-comfort stays before and after the trek; remote trail accommodation remains route-dependent.
Combine private valley walks or a shared trekking challenge with time to enjoy the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.
Selected shorter walks suit mixed interests when distance, altitude and terrain are assessed individually; demanding treks are not a default family option.
Salkantay, Ausangate, Choquequirao and Santa Cruz offer sustained walking and rewarding mountain terrain.
Inca Jungle programs bring together cycling and walking, with optional activities matched to skills, conditions and participant requirements.
Archaeology, photography and cultural themes can shape route selection, interpretation and daily pacing.

Yes, programs can be designed for private FIT travelers and agency groups. Group size, support teams and daily stages must suit the route; permits, access and services are subject to confirmation and current official regulations.
We can adjust preparation days, selected routes, walking pace, cultural visits and pre- or post-trek stays. Suitability depends on fitness, hiking experience, altitude exposure and comfort expectations—not age alone. Inca Trail changes are constrained by the permitted route and current official regulations.
Start several months ahead, particularly for the Classic Inca Trail and peak-season travel. Check current inventory before committing clients, and coordinate Machu Picchu circuits, entry times and transport together. Permit and ticket conditions are subject to current official regulations; verify at booking.
Specify the required guiding language when requesting a proposal; language availability must be confirmed. Guiding, camping equipment and porter or pack-animal support depend on the route. Review team welfare, equipment standards and emergency procedures before confirmation, with regulated requirements verified at booking.
May–September is generally the drier Andean trekking period, but mountain weather remains variable. Build acclimatization and manageable walking days into the itinerary rather than beginning a demanding trek on arrival. The Classic Inca Trail normally closes in February, subject to current official regulations; verify at booking.
No. Inca Jungle is a multi-activity journey involving mountain biking, walking and transfers toward Machu Picchu, not the traditional permitted Inca Trail. Optional rafting or ziplining requires separate assessment of participant suitability, equipment, operating conditions and applicable rules. Machu Picchu admission must still be planned in advance, subject to current official regulations.
