Whilst you are in Peri, you must definitely explore the surroundings of Ica. Who would have believed that the country is home to an oasis and a desert, penguins, Pisco and everything, all in such a small place? A journey to the heart of the region can offer you incredible diversity and an unforgettable experience with nature.

Huaraz is the perfect departure point for excursions into both the Cordillera Blanca and the Cordillera Negra. It's in the heights of the Sierra that you will truly discover all the fantastic features that the Ancash region has to offer.

Arriving in Iquitos by air gives a foretaste of what awaits you in the dense jungle. From above, all you see is a thick forest that covers the land as far as the eye can see, where only the river and its tributaries stand out from an immense green carpet.

We discovered the little hamlet of Llahuar on a three-day trek through the Colca Canyon. 
To describe this trek as physically challenging would be an understatement. The trail plots a severely rising and falling course through the Colca Valley. Fortunately, the spectacular scenery you pass through along the way compensates for the difficult sections. We were walking for seven hours a day at a sustained pace and our legs, aching from the many climbs and descents, were feeling heavy. And that's without mentioning the sense of vertigo that suddenly overtook us at times: Colca Canyon is the world's second deepest canyon!
On the advice of a French couple, we stopped off at Llahuar. With hot springs all around it, a spot of bathing in the pools at this quiet, peaceful place in the Colca Valley offers the perfect way to rest and relax. To the great disappointment of those who like fishing for trout in the Rio Colca, geysers, verdant gorges, indigenous communities, traditional villages and mischievous llamas are what await you on this demanding hike, which has left us with some of the most beautiful memories we have of our <a href="/peru/">trip to Peru</a>.
