Hiking Even Higher in Huaraz

We traveled to Huaraz, the Andean adventure capital of Perú, to continue hiking to even higher altitudes.

On the winter solstice, we completed the four-day high-altitude Salkantay trek to reach the dream destination of Machu Picchu.

Over the course of multiple day trips from Cusco, we explored well-preserved archeological sites in the Sacred Valley of the Inca.

The Inca Empire was a dazzling but short-lived explosion of human civilization, centered in its capital city of Cusco, Perú.

Climbing high onto the Andean Plateau, we visited mythical and cultural Lake Titicaca.

We climbed onto the Andean Plateau for a three-day trek into the gaping Colca Canyon.

After a fast-paced first week of travel, we stopped for a week in the white city of Arequipa.

To visit the varied landscapes of southern Perú, we bounced around on a Peru Hop bus.

We are finally resuming our international travels with a two-month trip to Peru.

Relics of the city’s late 19th century prosperity, Victorian homes are now San Francisco icons.
