Peru trekking begins, for most travellers, with a single name: the Inca Trail. But the four-day stone path to Machu Picchu is only the entry point into one of the world’s richest trekking countries — a landscape where Inca engineering, Quechua village life, and some of the highest, most dramatic mountains outside the Himalaya sit within a few hours of each other.

Tripcamps covers three regions here: Cusco and the Sacred Valley, home to the Inca Trail itself along with alternative routes like Salkantay, Lares, and Choquequirao, plus the technicolor slopes of Rainbow Mountain; the Cordillera Blanca around Huaraz, the highest tropical mountain range on Earth, where glacier lakes and 6,000m peaks frame classic circuits like Santa Cruz and Huayhuash; and the Arequipa region, anchored by Colca Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the world. Every trek comes with a full itinerary, permit guidance — the Inca Trail in particular requires booking months ahead — and Tripcamps’ support organising the trip.
