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.
