Peru

From 5,000m mineral mountains to the world's deepest canyons and Amazon jungle with no roads in — Peru's extremes come from altitude and remoteness as much as technical difficulty.

High-Altitude Trekking · Cusco region

Ausangate Trek

EXPERTRisk: HIGHUSD Guided 4–5 day trek 250…

A multi-day circuit around the sacred glaciated peak of Ausangate (6,384m), crossing several 5,000m passes past turquoise glacial lakes — remote, cold, and consistently rated one of the hardest treks in Peru precisely because of the sustained altitude rather than any single technical section.

Remote Ruins Trekking · Cusco / Apurímac region

Choquequirao trek

EXPERTRisk: HIGHUSD Guided 4–5 day trek 300…

Machu Picchu's much larger, still largely unexcavated sister site — reachable only by a multi-day trek that drops nearly 1,500m into the Apurímac canyon and climbs straight back out the other side, with no train, no crowds, and a lot more physical toll per kilometre than the Inca Trail.

Canyon Trekking · Arequipa region

Colca Canyon trek

ADVANCEDRisk: HIGHUSD Guided 2–3 day trek 60–…

One of the deepest canyons on Earth (over 3,000m at its deepest point) — a steep switchback descent to the canyon floor to see Andean condors riding thermals below the rim, then a brutal climb back out that catches trekkers who underestimate the return leg.

Jungle Expedition · Madre de Dios region

Jungle survival trek, Manu National Park

EXPERTRisk: HIGHUSD Guided multi-day expedi…

One of the most biodiverse and least-visited protected areas of the Amazon, reached by days of river travel rather than roads — multi-day immersion treks with indigenous or specialist guides, genuine wildlife (jaguar, caiman, venomous snakes) and no rapid evacuation if something goes wrong deep in the park.

High-Altitude Trekking · Vinicunca, Cusco region

Rainbow Mountain trek

ADVANCEDRisk: HIGHUSD Guided day tour ~25–45

A striped mineral mountain at 5,036m that's become one of Peru's most-photographed hikes — the altitude, not the trail, is the real hazard, with a fast ascent from Cusco (already at 3,400m) catching unacclimatised visitors with genuine altitude sickness on summit day.
