Extending through 7 South American nations – Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina, the Andes is the longest continental mountain range in the world.
The terrain is of immense scale and variation – the Andes are the highest mountain range outside of Asia. If you traveled from one end to the other you would cross desert, grassland, volcanoes, lakes, forests and glaciers. Your path would take you past archaeological sites, through vibrant markets and you could experience many indigenous cultures and see a variety of wildlife, big and small.
The Andes are paradise for trekking enthusiasts. They are of course, home to one of the ultimate and world renowned treks – the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru. This amazing multi-day hike follows the footsteps of the Incas that built it over 500 years ago. The landscape is breathtaking, covering dense jungle and going high into the mountains, passing ancient ruins and through traditional villages, until finally you get your first glimpse of Machu Picchu as you pass through the Sun Gate. Trekkers can go even further and climb Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain to take in magnificent views back to Machu Picchu and surrounds. The less traveled Salkantay and Lares treks to Machu Picchu are equally as spectacular and give travelers an insight into the traditional way of life of the indigenous people.
