The Andes is the second highest mountain range in the world, and it accompanies you wherever you go throughout South America. It\u2019s no surprise, then, that some of the most incredible multi-day hikes and treks are found in this glorious region of the globe. The scenery is absolutely stunning, and there are some real adventures to be had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mountainous terrain and changeable weather make even the simplest of hikes on paper pose a challenge to novice and experienced walkers alike. You\u2019ll find off-the-beaten-path hikes that take you away from civilization, treks that are known worldwide, and others that meander through small mountain communities and provide an intriguing insight into the lives of those who live in such rural regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you\u2019re looking to tick some top treks off your bucket list or are just up for an amazing adventure, you might be wondering where to begin. Read on for some inspiration with our list of must-do multi-day hikes in South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Salkantay Trek, Peru<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Duration: <\/strong>5 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to Go: <\/strong>April to October<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Difficulty: <\/strong>Moderate to challenging<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re looking to trek to the World Wonder Machu Picchu, look no further than the Salkantay Trek. Sure, the Inca Trail might be known worldwide and perhaps you didn\u2019t know there were other options, but let us tell you that the Salkantay route is an incredible adventure through various landscapes and climates with some of the most stunning scenery you\u2019ll ever see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s known as the best alternative to the Inca Trail, but it\u2019s really on par. A few of the highlights include visiting the stunning jewel in the mountain, Humantay Lake, seeing the Salkantay glacier up close and personal, descending from the Andes into the jungle, and stopping at Llactapata archaeological site to get your first glimpse of Machu Picchu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We couldn\u2019t do a list of the best treks in South America without including the infamous Inca Trail. On this route, you\u2019ll be transported back in time as you walk along the same trails that the Incas created hundreds of years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a real back-to-basics camping trip where you can enjoy roughing it while learning a lot about the history of the Incas and Peru. You\u2019ll also see some beautiful scenery and learn about local flora and fauna. The cherry on the top is entering through the sun gate, Intipunku, to Machu Picchu, which is only accessible on this trek. Please note that this route is closed in February due to heavy rains and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Santa Cruz Trek, Peru<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Duration: <\/strong>4 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to Go: <\/strong>April to September<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting from the intriguing city of Huaraz, the Santa Cruz trek heads through the Cordillera Blanca, which is actually the highest tropical mountain range in the world. Expect some incredible sights and a real off-the-beaten-path adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most noteworthy views and landscapes include an incredibly beautiful blue lagoon, a sandy beach that doesn\u2019t feel like it\u2019s up in the mountains, and snowy peaks, which greet you each morning as you wake up. On the last day, you\u2019ll get to sneak a peek at Huascaran, which is the tallest mountain in all of the Andes at 6,768 masl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Choquequirao Trek, Peru<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Duration: <\/strong>5 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to Go: <\/strong>April to October<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Difficulty: <\/strong>Moderate to challenging <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every year, thousands of tourists flock to Machu Picchu, and, as you might imagine, the routes to the Inca citadel can get a little crowded. However, there\u2019s somewhere just as incredible but far less visited. That site is Choquequirao, the last resting place of the Incas. At the moment you can only get there on foot, and there\u2019s still a lot to be discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along the trail, you\u2019ll see the beautiful scenery that\u2019s almost untouched due to the route being rarely visited. The site itself is outstanding and is just as incredible as Machu Picchu without the crowds. It\u2019s a real adventure and excellent for exploring a new location that\u2019s still to be discovered in many parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ausangate and Rainbow Mountain Trek, Peru<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Duration: <\/strong>5 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to Go: <\/strong>May to October<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Difficulty: <\/strong>Moderate to challenging <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you really want to get away from the crowds and up into the rural mountain regions, then a trek to Ausangate should be on your itinerary. You can see this incredible snowy peak from the city of Cusco as it towers in the distance. On the trek, you\u2019ll see many small villages and see and learn about how the locals work on the land and go about their lives in this part of the country, far away from the cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After spending a few days in the mountain wilderness, you\u2019ll head to one of the most stunning creations from Mother Nature in the world, Vinicunca, aka Rainbow Mountain. We\u2019re sure you\u2019ve seen the colorful mountainside in photos, but being up close before the tourist groups arrive is something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
La Ciudad Perdida, Colombia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re heading over to Colombia now and to a much lower altitude, which makes things a little easier. The Thame translates to The Lost City, and it\u2019s a really interesting archaeological site that\u2019s visited by far fewer people than Machu Picchu. Looking out over this citadel is breathtaking, and because it\u2019s so quiet, you get a great idea of how it was to live back then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this hike, you\u2019ll pass lush rainforest and cross rivers and streams before you arrive at the lost city. Along the way, you\u2019ll get the chance to swim in the river and splash in some gorgeous waterfalls to cool you down in the hot climate. You also experience encounters with the Kogi tribe, who\u2019ve been living by the same customs and traditions for thousands of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is definitely the hardest trek on our list of best treks in South America, and it\u2019s the only one where you actually summit a mountain, so it isn\u2019t for beginners! It\u2019s only 25km from La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll actually need proper rock climbing gear to get to the summit, and although it\u2019s popular with backpackers, many turn around halfway. You shouldn\u2019t be afraid of heights, and altitude sickness could kick in at any time, so preparation is key for this one. However, once you get up there, you get some fantastic views of the other mountains, La Paz and Lake Titicaca, which is the highest navigable lake in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Valley of the Volcanoes and Cotopaxi Volcano, Ecuador<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Valley of the Volcanoes is popular with visitors to Quito, but not many make it to the peak of Cotapaxi Volcano, from where you enjoy the stunning scenery. It\u2019s only half an hour from the city and only takes two days, but it\u2019s well worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the trek, you\u2019ll see an emerald green lagoon that sits in the crater of a non-active volcano surrounded by steep cliff edges and views of the volcano valley all around. It\u2019s really a beautiful sight to behold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The W Trek, Torres del Paines, Chile<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Duration: <\/strong>4 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to Go: <\/strong>September to April <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This trek is named because of the W shape the route forms. You can take a longer nine-day route of the whole park if you have time, but this four-day adventure is incredible by itself. It\u2019s a little challenging to get to, but it\u2019s really worth the trip, and you\u2019ll see some of the most stunning scenery ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re on another planet with the spiky peaks sticking up from the landscape as well as turquoise lagoons, glistening glaciers, and white, powdery snow. The park is only open from spring to autumn, so make sure you check in advance whether you can visit or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This is one of Patagonia\u2019s best routes and is an excellent alternative to the W trek. One of the most special moments on this hike is watching the sun come up behind the grand Mount Fitz Roy as it takes on pink and purple colors and reflects in the lake below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along the route, you also get to witness some more incredible scenery as well as enjoy swimming in fresh alpine pools. You might even get to see avalanches in the distance, caused by the warm afternoon sun. Enjoy the spectacular scenery while not over-exerting yourself on this trail that anyone can hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brazil is an extremely biodiverse country, and there\u2019s so much more to see than the sandy beaches and watching football matches. This trek is a fantastic five-day adventure, and you\u2019ll travel over amazing table-top mountain plateaus to luscious plains, fast-moving waterfalls, incredibly clear lagoons in caves, and underground rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a really exciting experience where you get to stay with locals, pass by the ghost-like village of Ruinha, and even see the highest waterfall in Brazil, Cachoeira da Fuma\u00e7a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Strap On Your Hiking Boots and Get Trekking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
