Popular treks
A selection of the more popular treks is included below, but there are many others that are unfrequented and absolute gems. If you want to get away from the beaten track and into a completely different world, contact us for a few suggestions.
The Inca Trail, Peru - Perhaps one of the greatest short treks in the world, the Inca Trail can easily be incorporated into almost any itinerary in Peru. Surely there cannot be a more spectacular finale at the end of a trek than the magical ruins of Machu Picchu?
Kilimanjaro, Tanzania - This tough 7 - 10 day trek can easily be combined with a safari on the plains of East Africa and time for relaxation on the idyllic beaches of Zanzibar. Kilimanjaro can also be linked with climbs on Mount Kenya and Mount Meru for the true mountain enthusiast.
Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal - still a classic after so many years. This 2 - 3 week trek takes you to the heart of the most stunning mountain scenery anywhere on earth.
The Milford Track, New Zealand - another contender for the greatest short trek in the world. The Milford Track is deservedly popular and gets booked up many months in advance, so plan well ahead!
The High Atlas, Morocco - Close to home, but a world away. Only just over three hours flight time from the UK, Marrakesh is the gateway to the High Atlas. With extraordinary mountain vistas and views of the Sahara, the High Atlas is an excellent choice for a short trekking break.
Torres del Paine Circuit, Chile - The stunning granite towers and glaciers of Patagonia are perhaps one of the most awe-inspiring sights in all of South America, and the Torres del Paine circuit takes you right to the heart of this outstanding mountain region.
Mount Blanc Circuit, France, Italy and Switzerland - An old favourite, but still as popular as ever. The tour of Mount Blanc is a classic 10 day trek in the heart of the Alps.
