Andes and Amazon expedition itinerary

Sample itinerary for the Andes and Amazon expedition

Some possible expedition objectives for Northern Peru are given below, please note these may alter between now and your expedition. The Expedition Programme Manager for Peru North will agree a suitable expedition itinerary for you, to best match the abilities and aspirations of your team.

Acclimatisation in Northern Peru
There are numerous treks in the Cordillera Blanca region around Huaraz, including day walks to local ruins and hot springs or overnight trips along spectacular valleys to glacier fed lakes.

Main trekking phase
In the Cordillera Blanca the Andean views are at their best with snow capped mountains towering over crystal blue lakes. Trekking trails from 4-8 days include passes of up to 5000m, requiring a high level of fitness. Chachapoyas in the northern Andes is a good base for relatively unknown treks at a lower altitude, which pass through little-visited villages and pre-Inca sites.

Project work in Northern Peru
Teams have the opportunity to learn about the Peruvian way of life, experiencing local culture and customs first hand. Projects could include helping villages to construct or renovate community buildings, working in an orphange or setting up recycling systems.

Rest and relaxation
Peru contains many fascinating cultural sites including ancient ruins and colourful markets. Adventurous teams could choose to take part in a white-water rafting trip and those visiting the far north of Peru could spend some time relaxing on one of the area’s beautiful beaches.
