By: Vaya Adventures Vaya Adventures (http://www.vayaadventures.com) “The Choquequirao archeaological site is a remote 15th century Incan citadel in southern Peru currently being reclaimed from the enveloping jungle. It is accessed via a two-day hike (starting from a village some five hours from Cusco) on a magnificent and entirely different Inca Trail. This is an alternative to the standard Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu, affording breathtaking Andean scenery en route to another stunning hilltop sanctuary, but with one difference: zero crowds,” says Jim Lutz, Vaya Adventures (http://www.vayaadventures.com/ “Then there is Lake Titicaca (http://www.vayaadventures.com/ Travelers accessing Lake Titicaca through Puno may want to schedule their visit during one of the two major events celebrated there annually. In February there’s the two-week Virgen de la Candelaria (http://depuno.com/ “Another place that is still off most people’s radar that is well worth considering is Peru’s Northern Coast and Andes region. This is one of the most exceptional and least explored areas of the country that offers spectacular ruins of several pre-Incan civilizations,” “Due to their remoteness and the comparative fame of Machu Picchu, these sites rarely see tourists. Visitors can experience the ruins with unparalleled privacy and tranquility. This route through the northern region of Peru also takes you over the eastern crest of the Andes Mountains into the upper Amazon Basin, allowing you to experience the varied vegetation and gorgeous scenery of the country, as well as see some of its charming colonial and Andean villages,” he says. These regions of Peru can be explored year-round. Per person rates including lodging (double occupancy), meals, ground transportation, private guide services, and entrance fees starts at around $2,900 for 8 days.
