Some adventures are simply better in hiking boots
There’s a special bond that develops between a trekker and their boots. It starts the moment you take them out of the box and continues long after you lace them up for that final day on the track. Whether you’re following the well-worn paths to Machu Picchu or discovering new twists and turns along Colombia’s Cocora Valley, each step imprints another memory on your sole. By the time you’ve finished the trek your boots will have more stories to tell than a porter on the Inca Trail. Let your feet do the exploring as you take in indigenous cultures and soaring scenery of South America.

Explore Torres del Paine National Park
Get lost in Patagonia’s beauty with a six-day trek through the stunning Torres del Paine National Park. Walk past glacial lakes and marvel at soaring mountain peaks as you set your sights on a landscape of untouched wilderness. Yes, watch where you’re putting your feet, but remember to look up - this national park is also full of striking animals (read: flamingoes) and you don’t want to miss a thing.
Wander the landscapes of Patagonia
Chances are you’ve never seen a region as mind-blowing as Patagonia; there’s the jagged peaks of the Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre mountain ranges, the dazzling icescape of Perito Moreno Glacier and some of the best hikes in all of South America. When we put it like that, how can an avid adventurer spend 8 days wandering its mesmerising landscapes and not fall in love? Answer: you can’t.
Hike to Machu Picchu
It simply doesn’t get any better than the magnificent Inca Trail: an iconic trek straight to the ruins of an ancient civilisation. Cross ‘hiking to Machu Picchu’ off your bucket list as you spend days adventuring through the country’s heartland in the Sacred Valley and Ollantaytambo before arriving at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed site itself. Make sure your camera is fully charged; you'll want to remember this trip.
Trek the Great Inca Road
If you want to see Peru in all its glory, you trek the Inca Trail, but if you want to get under the skin of this magnificent country, you trek the Great Inca Road. Never heard of it? We got you. Escape the crowds and put your feet to work on this epic 12-day trip, following ancient trade routes and stopping in at remote Inca outposts and fascinating archeological sites as you navigate your way through the breathtaking Andes.
Explore Colombia's Cocora Valley
If you’re looking for a laidback option then a one-day trek through Colombia’s Valle de Cocora is the choice for you. Expect a few uphill battles and some muddy patches, but it’s mostly smooth sailing for the duration of this 7-hour trek. The well-marked trail takes you past lush cloud forest and a river before arriving at a clearing filled with hundreds of soaring wax palms.
