Also, <strong>this trail usually takes up to four days.<\/strong> If long trails and huge crowds aren\u2019t for you but you still want to <strong>trek in Peru,<\/strong> you might want to consider the<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/palccoyo-alternative-rainbow-mountain\/\">rainbow mountain trail of Palccoyo<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0which only takes a day and provides amazing landscape and interesting mountain trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another trail you can take is the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/traditional\/cusco-day-hikes\/waqrapukara-one-day-tour\/\">Waqrapukara-One-Day trek<\/a>.<\/strong> It\u2019s a unique trail that visits the pre-Inca fortress of horns in the <strong>Apur\u00edmac canyon.<\/strong> <strong>The trek treats you to a peaceful site<\/strong> that not even most locals have visited! You might also consider sky camping on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/traditional\/cusco\/salkantay-humantay-lake-2d\/\"><strong>Two-Day Humantay Lake \u2013 Salkantay Pass<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0trek. Here, you can have the opportunity to hike through the beauty that is the<strong> Peruvian Andes,<\/strong> sleep under the stars, and participate in challenging hiking trails.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/inca-trail-2.jpg\" alt=\"Phuyupatamarca, Inca Trail.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Phuyupatamarca, Inca Trail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perito Moreno Glacier Trek, Argentina<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiking is not only reserved for land, it can also be done on ice! Trekking on the <strong>Perito Moreno glacier <\/strong>is <strong>another of the best treks in South America<\/strong> and an experience worthy of a bucket list. Here, <strong>you get to trek in a massive glacier and see the deep pools of water, an ice cave, and a lot of amazing views.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This trek is a relatively easy one. It only takes about an hour and a half for the mini trekking and three and a half hours for the big ice tour. The equipment you need is also provided by most tour companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Perito-Moreno-Ice-Hike-2-of-1-3.webp\" alt=\"Perito Moreno, Argentina.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Perito Moreno, Argentina.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ciudad Perdida, Colombia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are up for a cultural and historical trail, consider the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/04\/15\/travel\/colombia-lost-city-ciudad-perdida.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ciudad Perdida trail in Colombia<\/a>.<\/strong> In this trail, you get to meet indigenous communities, visit the <strong>Ca\u00f1o Cristales <\/strong>(The River of Five Colors), and visit a lost Mayan city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real challenge lies in the long journey that will take about four to six days. Most people who visit say the trek is hard but worth the effort. <strong>The trail is also a quiet one,<\/strong> so you can fully enjoy the whole experience without an overload of tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/colombia-ciudad-perdida-trek-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Ciudad Perdida, Colombia.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ciudad Perdida, Colombia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for a good trek in South America<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Fit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if your trip is a few months away, it isn\u2019t too early to start training. Even though the trails are manageable, <strong>it is easier to trek if you\u2019re used to doing long walks, exercising, or any activity that requires you to move.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going on jogs and doing <strong>cardio routines<\/strong> might also help you prepare for your upcoming trek. Aside from traditional workouts, you may also want to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/daydreaminginparadise.com\/5-reasons-why-you-should-start-doing-yoga-today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>practice yoga<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in your fitness routine. Yoga is good for strength training, flexibility, and pain relief, which will help you build endurance for your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing yoga alongside your traditional workouts will<strong> help you relax and gain a positive mindset for your trekking trip.<\/strong> Even taking one hour out of your day to dedicate to these activities will greatly help you later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in Good Trekking Shoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are going on a long trail, <strong>having the appropriate shoes is a must. <\/strong>Having good footwear will ensure that your feet will be in top shape throughout the entire trek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good pair of trekking shoes need to have plenty of support.<strong> It should also be lightweight and cushioned well.<\/strong> It should fit comfortably without too much space or tightness to prevent blisters or foot pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting used to your shoes might also benefit you. Break them in before even going on your trip so that you can <strong>assure yourself that they are comfortable and reliable to use for your trek.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Zapatillas-de-senderismo-0-47119776_m-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Appropriate shoes.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Appropriate shoes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have Food at the Ready<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On any trek, you must bring some food and water with you. Although some travel agencies will provide food on the trail, <strong>having some snacks can help you get through a grueling trek.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food such as <strong>nuts, muesli bars, nuts, and jerky, will give you a source of protein and energy during a long hike.<\/strong> They are also in tiny packets that you can easily store in your bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/healthyweight\/healthy_eating\/water-and-healthier-drinks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Having water ready is just as important<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0as food. <strong>Hydrating yourself<\/strong>, especially in the sweltering heat of the jungle, will help you prevent overheating. <strong>Using a reusable water bottle<\/strong> is also a plus because you can drink directly from the clean and fresh streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Written by: Erin Anderson<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As more borders open, it is time to grab your backpacks and get your travel goals back on track.
