Itinerary

Discover the jaw-dropping beauty of Peru’s Cordillera Blanca by embarking on the "Alpamayo Circuit," an 18-day trekking tour for experienced hikers who crave high-altitude adventure. Departing from and returning to Lima, this challenging trek weaves through valleys and over high passes, offering daily views of more than 50 towering peaks, including the iconic pyramid of Alpamayo—often hailed as the world’s most beautiful mountain.

The route crosses the continental divide, passes turquoise glacial lakes, and camps at the dramatic Avalancha site, where avalanches thunder down from the Conrahierbas massif. Along the way, trekkers experience warm hospitality in remote Quechua villages and gain insights into traditional Andean life.

What sets this trekking tour package apart is its concentration of spectacular scenery and its thoughtfully designed acclimatisation schedule—ensuring trekkers can fully appreciate the grandeur and diversity of one of the world’s premier trekking routes.
