Top 5 Highlights of Walking Holidays in South America

The Inca Trail: This is undoubtedly one of the most famous and iconic walking routes in South America, and the world. The trail winds through breathtaking Andean landscapes and presents stunning views of snow-capped peaks and ancient ruins. The highlight of this trek is reaching Machu Picchu, the legendary “Lost City of the Incas.” As you make your way along the trail, you’ll witness the remnants of this ancient civilisation.
Galápagos Islands: These remote and isolated islands are a haven for wildlife and nature lovers. Exploring the islands on foot lets you witness the incredible biodiversity of the archipelago close-up. From giant tortoises to marine iguanas and playful sea lions, the Galápagos Islands host a staggering array of indigenous species found nowhere else on earth. Observe wonderful creatures in their natural habitat and appreciate the delicate balance of nature that exists in this ecological paradise.
Torres del Paine National Park: This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Chile boasts towering granite peaks, shimmering glaciers and glistening lakes. The park offers a network of well-marked trails that cater to different levels of ability. Whether you take on the challenging W Trek or choose a shorter day hike, the incredible vistas of Torres del Paine will leave you in awe of the raw beauty of this region.
Amazon Rainforest: Walking through the Amazon rainforest is an adventure like no other, giving you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to discover the world’s largest tropical wilderness. The lush vegetation, vibrant wildlife and symphony of sounds are a sensory overload. As you trek through dense foliage, you’ll encounter monkeys swinging through the trees, colourful birds soaring overhead and perhaps even an elusive jaguar or giant river otters.
Lake Titicaca: situated between Peru and Bolivia, Lake Titicaca is an immense freshwater lake that holds great cultural significance for the local indigenous communities. Walking along its shores offers a unique insight into the traditional way of life of the local people, who have lived on floating reed islands for centuries. Explore the fascinating islands and interact with the locals, learning about their customs and traditions.

This was an excellent week of walking. The paths are steep in some places but well defined and Jose guided us with care and attention on the challenging ascents and descents of the Sierra Aitana. The walks were well-paced by Jose but the days are long so you do need to be fit. We trekked through a number of landscapes illustrating the historic and current use of the area and Jose with his local knowledge enhanced our understanding of how this area has evolved over the centuries as well as the current challenges. The views from the walks were amazing – one way you could see the coast from Alicante to Benidorm and beyond and the other the folding valleys and mountains of the interior. The skies were blue and the days sunny and warm and we experienced very little wind even on the summits. We were based at the Hostel Rincon de Pepe where we had a wonderful week being looked after by Raquel. The food was amazing and hearty (three courses plus wine). The terrace was also great place to have breakfast every morning as the sun rose out of the Med, as well as a beer or two after the walk as the sun disappeared behind the mountains.

Jane Hallett Sierra de Aitana Trek

This is a great week’s walking in a little-known (and underrated) part of Spain. The Aitana range is a compact set of mountains so you get to tick off almost all of it, and there are great views from the top of all the peaks, out to the coast and across to the surrounding peaks. Most of the walks are reasonably demanding, but also rewarding.
Being based in one location, with very short transfers (or none) for each walk makes for a very relaxing week aside from the walking. It’s also a fairly short transfer to/from Alicante Airport.
The vast majority of meals are included which makes it much better value than some other (apparently similarly priced) holidays.
Jose the guide is exceptional: hard-working, helpful, supportive and deeply knowledgeable about the area.
