Go one step further than you thought possible! Combine trekking the Machu Pichu Trail, Incas in Peru with the Quichua Indians, exploring the
Amazon, in Ecuador.
Location – Ecuador and Peru
Arrival Airport – Quito airport, Ecuador.
Duration – 2 weeks to 2 months.
Overall Aim – The overall aim is to experience South America at its best. We merge all the great regions, such as the Amazon rainforest, the Andes mountain ranges and the Machu Pichu alongside the culture and delights of two of the finest countries, Ecuador and Peru.
This extreme adventure offers you the chance to see more of South America. We arrive in Quito, one of the world’s highest capital cities. After your Welcome and Safety briefing, we visit the Equator, experiencing the unusual events that happen there, then we are off.
Ecuador-Amazon Adventure
We head down to the Amazon rainforest, where we undertake jungle training to prepare you for one of the most famous and unexplored areas of the world. With local Quichua guides and jungle trained Trekforce staff, we spend over a week in the interior. You will also undertake a local community project, volunteering for vital conservation research. When we emerge, we celebrate with white water rafting plus some other adventures too!
Peru-Andes Machu Pichu Trek
Refreshed, we leave Ecuador and head via local buses to Lima, the coastal capital of Peru, before heading up into the Andes. In contrast with the Ecuadorian Amazon this is a predominantly Inca region. The famous Machu Pichu mountain temple is reached only after completing the trail up from Cuzco. A stunning trek, which complements the previous trek in the Amazon. By now you can take anything in your stride!
