If you are a fan of mother nature, grand views, and fuzzy llamas look no further - this is the trip for you.
Arturo was a fantastic leader and guide. Knowledgable, helpful, caring, experienced and amusing. This was my 11th Explore holiday and Arturo is up there with the best guides. The porters and cooks are heroes - we were very happy to tip them generously. The itinerary was perfect, though no one should underestimate the challenge of around ten hours walking on day three. Cusco hotel staff were fine but the layout around a central atrium means the rooms are very noisy. The hotel near Machu Picchu was lovely but the staff were rude, unhelpful and disinterested. Overall I’d fully recommend this trip - but be sure to get into shape beforehand and consider your kit carefully.
The Cordillera Huayhuash trek is considered one of the most beautiful trekking routes in the Peruvian mountains. The Huayhuash range includes seven peaks that are over 6,000 m. So, you can expect to see many mountain peaks and lakes in this epic nine-day adventure.
