Hiking Tours

Ancash, Peru

These are something I have wanted to offer since I lived in Peru, including a long stint in Ancash, Cordillera Blanca. I have never been athletic in the usual sense, but I do well at endurance exercise such as long distance touring (cycling) and hiking/trekking. I like these activities in particular because they allow me to do multiple things at a time, such as bird watching, photography, and conversing with others. Also, there is the real challenge of surviving in the elements and dangers such as animal attacks, deadly falls, hypothermia, drowning, altitude sickness, etc. And while these dangers rarely result in death, less when cautious, they presence makes the adventure, well, adventurous.

At present, I hope to offer tours of this nature in December 2011, Spring 2012, and definitely Summer 2012. Likely destinations are the Ecuadorian Inca Trail, Ancash, Peru, Aconcagua in Argentina, and near Coyhaique Chile. So if you are interested you will write, I’m sure.
