Perú

Classic Inca Trail

The origins of this trail were that it was a pilgrimage route meant only for the Inca nobles; now thousands of trekkers & travelers follow this ancient footpath to Machu Picchu every year. Making it one of South Americas most well-known routes it’s no wonder why this path was chosen by the Incas.

Throughout the trek, you’ll pass through cloud forests and below snowy peaks and discover the world of the Incas. Following a centuries-old sacred trail and after entering through the Sungate (Inti Punku) you’ll discover the ancient Incan citadel; including possible climbs to Huayna Picchu & Machu Picchu mountains (for those with energy!).

Following your time in Machu Picchu you’ll then make your way back to Cusco to reflect on an epic journey.

Note: If you’re short on time, be sure to check out the Short Inca Trail trek which follows the last day of the Inca Trail.

Embark from Ollantaytambo, one of South America’s oldest villages
Crossover Dead Woman’s Pass (4212m) for breathtaking views of Pumahuanca

Bruno (CAN) - Trekking El Chaltén & El Calafate - 7 Days | Well organized guided trekking tour. Our guides for our 3 treks were awesome! During our stay in El Chalten, we were caught in a snowstorm and roads were closed for 2 days. James and Martin helped us during these 2 days with our extended stay in the hostel and arranged transportation back to the airport. They kept us informed of the road closure status and made sure we were able to go back to the airport safely and continue our trip in Argentina. We recommend Tour Radar & Unu Raymi!!!
Mikko (FIN) - A South Perú Adventure - 21 Days | My experience with Unu Raymi was great! I chose the "South Peru adventure" and added a visit to the Ballestas/Huacachina at the start and one extra day in the Amazon at the end. All the different trips around Cusco (and Ica) as well as the main trip to Choquequirao and Machu Picchu were well organized and I felt like I got to see the best parts of the Andean region. The guides were all experts and I felt safe and part of the team at all places I visited. I think for an adventurous soul, who has some urge of getting off the beaten everyday-tourist path, Unu Raymi is a great choice! Mikko
Morgan & Perdita (UK) - Lima Tour, Cusco, the Sacred Valley + Machu Picchu, Mt Vinicunca - 7 Days | We had an amazing time thank you so much to Edwin for helping us at each stage. And had an absolutely beautiful time seeing Peru. Cusco was the most stunning place I've ever seen, has my heart ❤️❤️❤️ | South America is an incredible and diverse continent & we'll definitely be back someday 🙂 🙂 🙂
Nam (USA) - Peaks of Ausangate & Cordillera Huayhuash - 21 Days | This tour was one of the best adventures I had in my life. The guides Eduardo and Herman are kind, knowledgeable, and were always checking up on me since we were at 16,000+ altitude. They know the terrain very well and we’re giving me history and geography lessons on the trail. We shared many laughs and stories together. Our mountain cook Jaime cooked delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and was always offering me a hot beverage. Pedro our horseman always had my tent ready at the next camp! The sites on and around Ausangate are awe inspiring. There are way less trekkers on this trail than the others, so if you are looking for peace and calm, this is the trek to be on. We had to start very early some days and the. reward was seeing the crimson sky and sunrise. Overall this was a thrilling trek, one that tested my limits, and left me humbled and helped me define who I am. Totally recommend it to any adventure seekers!
Joel (AUS) - 'O' Circuit Trek, Torres del Paine - 8 Days | I booked the 8-day ‘O’ Circuit trek in Torres del Paine through Unu Raymi and completed the trek in late December 2023. The booking process prior to the trek was quite straightforward, and James was able to answer the various questions that I had. The trek itself was fantastic and I had an excellent team in Francisco (as my guide) and Teo (as the cook/porter) out on the trail. Francisco obviously knew the trail well, and in addition had very good knowledge about the plants we saw and was able to point out the names of the various mountains throughout the trek, as well as being very good at spotting the condors high above on several days. Teo did a superb job with the meals on the trek. He was able to accommodate my request for vegan food and I was amazed at the variety of the different meals he was able to prepare, including fresh vegetables at various times, and every meal tasted great. Overall it was a fantastic experience!
Mario (ESP) - Perito Moreno Glacier, Mt Fitzroy, El Chaltén, 'W' Trek, Torres del Paine - 11 Days | Hello James, Edwin, I want to thank you for the organization you have done for this trip. They have been flexible with my dates, and with a last minute organization. All information was clear, and has been available in advance. They have been with me at all times. Lucho is a guide with a lot of experience, and walking with him in El Chaltén has been very pleasant. I adapt the itinerary so that you can enjoy the time I was there as much as possible, and it allowed me to see more places than I expected. In Torres del Paine, Edgar has been an excellent guide. He knows the park very well, he has been a wonderful cook, I never thought I would eat this well while trekking and he has made the experience wonderful. I leave Patagonia with the certainty that I will return. Thank you both very much for the organization, for the effort and attention you have put into this trip. Mario
Nick (AUS) - Patagonia - El Calafate: Perito Moreno Glacier, El Chaltén & Mt. Fitzroy - 10 Days - Date 04.09.24 | (Nb. Nick's Trip was amended due to visa problems entering Chile, we extended trekking in El Chaltén to compensate) | I've had a wonderful trekking experience here in Patagonia & I'm very content with what we have done here. Juan was a great guide, accommodations all great & thank you for the reorganization!
