Our small group treks take you on a journey through river valleys and high mountain passes with a select few likeminded hikers under the steadfast care of your expert guide and support team who take care of all the details along the way.

Our exploratory treks were developed by SA Expeditions in an effort to put economic value on vulnerable natural and cultural heritage along the Great Inca Trail road network. These hiking routes carry you on a transformative quest through largely unvisited, historic lands.
Cuzco and Machu Picchu were at the heart of the Inca Empire and their historic trails offer some of the best trekking in the world. Hike the world famous Inca Trail on a classic, luxury or shortened itinerary; immerse yourself in the unique cultures and landscapes of Lares and Salkantay (both of which are available on the lodge-to-lodge option); or venture off the beaten path on a spellbinding adventure to the mythical ruins of Choquequirao.
Trek the final portion of the Inca Trail in style, just as the Incas did hundreds of years ago, while overnighting in comfortable hotels along the way. This truncated version of the Inca Trail is the perfect tour-and-trekking opportunity for families or for those who are short of time but still want to experience the magnificence of the approach to Machu Picchu. Also included are guided tours of Cusco, the capital city of the Incas; Lima, the cosmopolitan capital of Peru; and the Sacred Valley, the magnificent agricultural heartland of the Incas.
