Trekking group 3D3N Trek Around Apu Huayllanay: This trek is designed as an alternative trek to the Inca trail to Machu Picchu.  Yes, It is for sure off the beaten path!!! The environment is similar with the difference that we hardly meet other trekkers on the trail; we will experience the peasant life as we watch people work the land, camp near their homes in the midst of a pristine environment reminiscent of ancient times. This is a full service trek. We only carry a day pack. All gear, food and a duffle bag (provided) with up to 8kg of our personal belongings are carried by the Llamas, horses and porters. All meals and drinks included, private local official guides and camp cook are with us all time.  4 man tents used for double occupancy and no worry, there is toilet tent! (This trip option is considered Moderate but not strenuous. It requires good overall health and physical condition. We will spend 6 to 8 hours of hiking per day. Hike on trails that lead to passes between 12,000 and 15,000 feet with substantial gain and loss of altitude. This trekking trip is meant for people who enjoy the outdoors and usually require some pre-departure physical training. The better shape we are in, the more enjoyment we can get out of a trip)

Non trekking group Tambopata National Reserve 3D2N trip DEEP in the Peru Amazon at Refugio Amazonas Lodge:  Activities include River boat tour, Caimans search, Oxbow lake visit, Canopy tower, Farm visit, Ethnobotanical Tour, Eco lecture.
