| The
Inca Trail
This most
challenging, rewarding and breathtaking route has long captured
the imagination of trekkers and travellers alike. This contining
popularity and the tightening of legislation covering the
trail has resulted in availability on the Inca Trail becoming
a real issue for the prospective traveller.
Another result of this is that many alternative routes are
being opened up (see below) in order to relieve the increasing
demands on the Inca Trail however with many trekkers still
preferring to follow the classic route to Machu Picchu, early
booking is now essential in order to guarantee your space
on the trail. Please contact
us in order to check the availability of spaces on the
Inca Trail for your proposed dates of travel. |

Choquequirao
~ The 'new' Machu Picchu!
Described by
some as the ‘new’ Machu Picchu this Inca site has been
largely overlooked until recently as more stringent measures on
the Inca Trail means that Choquequirao is a viable alternative and
may even be destined to replace the traditional hike. Choquequirao
is believed to mean ‘cradle of gold’ and indeed this
was an Inca city of high status. This remote ruin is inaccessible
and rarely visited but Peruvian Secrets can offer a five –
day trek to the site for the more serious trekker.

Over 50
summits of between 5,000 and 6,000 metres with over 20 surpassing
6,000 metres.
633 glaciers and best of all there are no fees for climbing
the peaks.
Peruvian Secrets can provide you with a wide range of routes
to suit your ability plus we provide you with the very best
guides and equipment to ensure your total enjoyment.

Conditions
for trekking and climbing
May
to September is the dry season but October, November and April can
be good times, particularly for trekking. The majority of the bad
weather is from the east and can make night-time temperatures very
cold. Should you wish to go extreme ice climbing, the best times
are from May to July. Whatever your ability or wishes Peruvian Secrets
will be happy to take care of all the necessary arrangements. Call
one of our expert advisers to build a climbing tour of perfection.

Handgliding
~ Paragliding |
This
sport is now becoming increasingly popular in Peru; the
reason for this becomes obvious when you consider the immensity
of the landscapes. For the novice the coastal cliffs offer
the easiest thermals and slowly you can make your way up
into the Andes gaining experience of different altitudes.
For the more experienced and adventurous nothing can really
compare the thrill of flying at over 6,000 metres in front
of the glaciers of Huascaran.

One of the greatest areas opening up in Peru is the Sacred
Valley of Cusco. The area has excellent launch sites, thermals
and reasonable landing sites. Adding to the thrill of flying
over this beautiful valley is the aerial view of the impressive
Inca ruins or perhaps you would like to fly over the deepest
canyon in the world, the Colca Canyon, with the chance of
flying with the famous Peruvian condor.

Peruvian Secrets
also offers kayaking for the complete novice or the expert. We can
offer you the chance of three-day courses for the novice with all
equipment or a more serious orientated adventure.
Whether
you've tried rafting before or not, nothing can quite prepare you
for the adrenaline rush as you travel down river tackling some of
the world's finest white water. Peru has some of the best rivers
in the world for you to choose from, notably, some of them are in
the world's top ten white waters.
Rafting is not
just an incredible adrenaline rush but it's the access it provides
to areas that are only accessible by river. From desert canyons
to impenetrable jungle gauges that will open up a rare view of the
wildlife that lives on the banks of the river to incredible rock
formations eroded by the power of the river.
Peru
has the world's deepest canyon, the source of the world's greatest
river. Whether you are a novice or a world champion Peru has probably
the widest range of experiences in the world.Peruvian Secrets offers
you the perfect opportunity to leave behind the gringo trail and
experience for yourself what wild Peru has to offer.

This is the one activity that you would least expect to have in
a country so close to the equator but it is possible to experience
fresh slopes and try high altitude skiing. Normally it is only the
experienced mountain enthusiast who would be found on the high slopes.
Today many more people are taking up the challenge Peru's mountains
have to offer; we can arrange everything you will need including
expert teachers/ guides and all equipment. Again we ask you to work
with us on producing your perfect itinerary.

This can only be described as an incredible personal experience.
This journey is ideal for people who appreciate nature and have
a real spirit of adventure. This five-day canoe trip into the
remote reaches of the Pacaya Samiria Reserve in the Amazon will
take you into one of the least visited areas in Peru. This tour
can be taken as individually starting with two persons or as
a small group, (only two people per canoe).
You will camp on the riverbank over night as we make our way
deeper into the Pacaya Samiria Reserve. Our expert guides –
who are also incredible cooks – will take care of all
your needs. Fish for Piranha; swim with Piranha but most of
all relax, take in the atmosphere and let us do all the work.
This tour can also be taken in conjunction with a visit to the
North of Peru and a riverboat journey along the Amazon to/from
Iquitos.
