7-Color Mountain Quad Tour (opens in a new tab)

12 h

The Mountain of 7 Colors (Vinicunca) is special because it is a unique natural phenomenon in the Peruvian Andes. Its striking colors are due to the combination of different minerals present in its soil layers, which over thousands of years created a landscape full of shades such as red, green, yellow, white and pink. What makes this experience unforgettable is the combination of several elements in one place: a hike surrounded by imposing Andean mountains, panoramic views of high altitude, the presence of llamas and alpacas, and the opportunity to know a natural landscape that is not found in many places in the world.

Salkantay Trail to Machu Picchu - 5 day tour (opens in a new tab)

9 5 days

By most argued to be the best alternative route to the famous Inca city of Machu Picchu. This beautiful but strenuous hike brings you across one of the highest and most imposing mountains of the Peruvian Andes; the sacred mountain of Salkantay (6271 masl). According to some authors the name of this mountain is a contraction that comes from ‘Salqa’’= ‘huraño’ or ‘wild,’ and ‘Antay’ = to produce ‘celajes’ or ‘avalanches.’ The trek offers a wide variety of magical landscapes including Quechua communities, Inca ruins, jungles with a wide range of animals and medicinal plants and overwhelming snowy mountain peaks with breath-taking sights. The trek requires a reasonable level of fitness. However, age should not be a barrier for anyone! With the highest point of 4650 masl, the most important factor is to be well-acclimatized to the high altitude. With professional guides, we guarantee a life changing experience during this tour!
