Peru - 120 km hike 2005

“While visiting Peru on business I looked into the hiking in the Andes Mountains and discovered there is a very nice 4 day 120 km trail the goes through ancient Incas ruins in the Andes Mountain. I'm wondering if anyone out there would be interested in a group TT trip.

“Now that does sound interesting - I'd certainly be interested.”

“Price??”

“I'd be interested. Definitely”

“I am very interested.”

“Arrrrrr.....be stayin away from any Inca gold ye be findin on that trip...trust me on this one mates...arrrrrrrrr”

“They're not as active as they used to be but they are still around. Forewarned is forarmed. Here's a URL.

But it would be a great trip mozark. Best of luck with it.”

“Looking up airfare its around 1000-1200 in a July time frame. I know it's too early but if it gives you an idea as to cost....

Tours through REI etc run around 3000-3500”

“Mozark, I'm definitly interested. Give us some information if you would please.”

“You going to post this on the trips page?”

“I've been hiking all over Peru recently. If you have any questions on it, let me know. My email is kaisernewcom@yahoo.com

I highly recommend the Huayhuash Circuit if you have the time.”

“Wow I didn't expect that much interest!

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu looks like a good place to start investigating.

Cost?

Flight:
Continental from Little Rock to Lima,Peru is $1050 currently with only one week notice. I've heard that it is less from Orlando by $200-300.(must be a Disney special)

A week would probably cost $300 per person depending on whether we day hiked or backpacked and camped on the trail.

These are only rough estimates. I just got back and started looking on the web for additional info. I found some gps data on www.travelbygps.com which might be of interest to anyone with a gpd. The machupicchu trail is gps coordinates etc are downloadable.

Now RoseyMonster tell us more about that Huayhuash Circuit...
