South America "

The Inca Route in Peru "

This route is one of the most famous in the world because it takes climbers up to the ruins of Machu Picchu. It is quite a tough trek starting from Aguas Calientes or the village of Machu Picchu and involves climbing about 1000 stairs before 6am. This way you can enjoy the ruins just as the sun sets over them, which is a luxury you have to enjoy at least once in your life. And if you still want to walk further, you can continue the tour on an ascent to Waina Picchu; which is a totally vertical ascent above the ruins.

Torres del Paine in Chile "

This circuit in the southern part of Chilean Patagonia is considered one of the best trekking circuits in the world. It is quite a tough circuit but there is always room for choice. The circuit can be done in 5 or 9 days, respectively. In addition to the spectacular views that can be enjoyed along the entire route, it is also incredible the way in which you can enjoy the lakes and the vestiges of the Kawaskar culture (the native Eskimos of the area who still preserve their language and who continue to perform like the best in kayaks). Finally, it is important to note that the best part of the route is the final stretch, as it is at the last moment that you can clearly see the two Torres del Paine towers crowning the bluest lake we have ever seen.

The Cordillera Blanca in Peru.

In the Ancash region of Peru lies this snow-capped mountain range. These mountains are located in the Huascaran National Park, which is home to some 260 glaciers that can be enjoyed along the route. In addition, in this mountain range we can also find the Alpamayo mountain, which is considered by many as the most beautiful mountain in the world.

The Roraima trek in Venezuela.

Roraima is the highest peak you can find in the Pakaraima mountain range and as such, it offers an unbeatable experience to everyone who passes through. During the trek you will have the opportunity to cross the savannah and observe bizarre rock formations that can only be seen in this part of the world.

Kaieteur Falls in Guyana.

This route is great because it is so varied. It has sections by canoe, on foot or off-road and along each of the stages you can enjoy many different things. However, the best moment of all comes at the end of the trek, when you reach the waterfalls, which are probably some of the most beautiful we have ever seen.
