EDITORIAL Dear reader: Off the beaten Off the track beaten by the track old by Inca the bridge, old Inca in bridge, the Machu in the Picchu Machu Sanctuary. Picchu Sanctuary. The Incas were known as adventurers and innovators who had no fear of building new roads. Because of that and in sympathy with nature, they expanded their empire to an unimaginable extent. We at Lima Tours were inspired by this adventurous people to enable travellers to come and enjoy the whole range of exciting activities that our country offers, such as the astonishing and unconventional treks where mysterious beliefs are revealed in the stones. In this new edition of ULTIMATE JOURNEYS – Travel in Peru, we present some of the marvellous adventures our country has to offer, as well as biodiversity and impressive scenery on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. This route was created by the Incas and covers hundreds of kilometres throughout their empire, between the Andes, the coast and the jungle, making an impressive network of roads all over their territory. We also include a fascinating interview with Andreas Holland, an adventure tourism pioneer in Peru, who left his native London for our country, in love with its scenery and its people. The Inca Trail experience goes beyond its natural beauty and surroundings. The people with whom you share this incredible challenge are a fundamental factor in your enjoyment of the trek over several days through majestic surroundings. The local people acting as porters, guides and cooks, and the visitors brought together to experience the trek, strengthen and motivate each other when fatigue and altitude demand the best of each one. This makes the trip a very personal one, involving the energy of the apus and Pachamama, to meet a memorable challenge: Machu Picchu. Lima Tours, in the shape of its Pure Quest Adventures division, is the protagonist of all of these adventures. Thanks to its extensive experience, we can offer an impressive range of Peruvian adventures anywhere in the country. Adventure tourism in Peru is outstanding, and there are other no less famous treks, such as the Ausangate trail: a demanding trek to the mountain most venerated by the people of Cusco, or to Mount Salkantay, the ruins at Choquequirao and the Cordillera de Huayhuash. But the range of options is far from exhausted; we also have sport fishing in the highlands, expeditions in kayak on majestic rivers and expeditions in 4x4 vehicles or mountain bikes; examples proving that Peru is a perfect destination for adventure tourism and for discovering places that otherwise you can only dream about. Enjoy reading and learning! Your friends from Lima Tours OHSAS 18001 BUREAU VERITAS Certification
