Explore Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Peruvian Amazon by river and trail. Our goal is to provide unique non-touristic trips based on your experience and comfort level.
Hike to Machu Picchu, Choquequirao, Lares, Cusco, Santa Maria, Lake Valencia, Ausangate and others. Both private and grouped are available. See all hiking trips here.
Choquequirao 4D Choquequirao is a ruined Inca city in the Vilcabamba Valley which is surrounded by the snowcapped Apus of Yanama, Ampay, Choquecarpu, Pumasillo and Panta on the north side of the Apurimac river. In the time of the Incas, Choquequirao was united and in communication by a complex network of trails with Machu Picchu. 
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu 7D Visit both Choquequirao and Machu Picchu on one epic adventure. Trek along an Inca trail for 5 days, explore ruins along the way and camp out underneath the stars. We'll use mules, cook over fire and explore this lesser-known area where tourism is limited to those who dare to venture. We'll traverse 2 rivers, 2 mountain ranges and climb switchbacks from the pueblo of Cachora to Yanama, then transfer to Santa Teresa by car followed by a 2 hr walk to Machu Picchu. 
Salkantay to Machu Picchu 5D Experience the ultimate change in altitude and climate zones. Trek through the Salkantay Pass surrounded by high turquoise lakes, glacial runoff and massive boulders before heading down into Peruvian subtropical vegetation with a stop for a bath in natural hot springs on the way to Machu Picchu. We use portable, inflatable boats called "Packrafts" which are suitable for whitewater and carrying gear. We will often pack up our boats and hike to a hard to reach oxbow lake then reinflate to explore the lake. Private only available. See all packrafting trips here.
Manu National Park 4D We'll raft a total of 48km/29mi on the Alto Madre de Dios river from Atalaya to Shintuya Lodge and hammock camp a night in the forest. Along the way we'll visit the clay lick and explore Lake Machuwasi by log raft before reaching the Shintuya hot springs and waterfalls. We'll also meet the locals of Atalaya, Shintuya and Salvación. We recommend a minimum of 4 days in Manu National Park to allow for travel time from Cusco. 
Manu to Boca Colorado 9D Venture into the deep Peruvian Amazon, through Manu's Cultural zone and entrance to Reserve Zone and over 245 km/151 mi to Boca Colorado. Spot caiman and river otters on the banks from your packraft while parrots and red and green macaws fly above. Explore the oxbow lakes, lodges and clay licks such as "Blanquillo" along the way. Choose and create your campsites. Your machete is required and your hammock is your sanctuary. 
Boca Colorado to Laberinto 8D Wind down the Madre de Dios river from the gold mining town of Boca Colorado 161km/100mi to Laberinto. See firsthand the effect of legal mining on the banks of the river followed by protected areas where established oxbow lakes host a variety of tropical flora and fauna. Expect friendly faces on the main river and secluded canals into non-touristic areas of newly formed and ancient oxbows. Our Basecamp Expeditions are designed for those who are limited on time but wanting to see more of the river by motorboat without sacrificing the adventure of hammock camping under the jungle canopy. See more on the Basecamp Expeditions page.
