An Amazon to the Andes Adventure Trip

The physical landscape of South America is like a tent. It is steep at the top and falls off quickly to the sides. The Andes are the defining feature of the continent. The mountains shape the way people live, they shape weather patterns and they will shape the way you will travel through South America.

BootsnAll has an outstanding 12-day Amazon to Andes adventure tour that offers a fascinating glimpse into both highland and lowland Peru. The trip begins and ends in the capital Lima. From there it takes you to the heights of Cuzco and on to the famed Inca Trial for 4 days. It is a challenging walk but the reward is experiencing Machu Picchu, as well as what it is like for the people living in some of the highest elevation communities in the world.

Just when you get your altitude legs, the tour takes you the simply amazing Amazon jungle. You will explore a jungle that holds an amazing amount of biodiversity. It is truly an animal lover’s dream, especially if you are into birding.

If you have ever wanted to get a quick, but meaningful taste of South America, this trip is an excellent option for you. Led by experienced guides, you will not only have the opportunity to interact with local people, but you will also get to know like minded independent travelers.
