Wanting to experience some of the ancient Peruvian culture but avoid the busy Inca Trail?
Our Olleros to Chavin trek combines 3 days of trekking through a remote area of the Cordillera Blanca removed from the busier tourist circuits and where local people still live a traditional way of life.

The trek finishes at the archaeological site of Chavín de Huántar which was the centre of the Chavín culture, the oldest major culture in Peru existing from around 1000 to 300 BC. The site of Chavín de Huántar is an incredible feat of engineering, with most of the construction being built underground in an extensive labyrinth of interconnecting chambers and tunnels.

This trek is suitable for everyone, from hardened trekkers looking to escape the busy trails, to less experienced hikers and is an ideal trek for families with children.
