In nine days you could plan a typical hiking excursion to Peru’s flagship tourist attraction, Machu Picchu. However, if you want a more culturally immersive experience, consider a journey that combines hiking the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu while overnighting in homestays and spending time with indigenous residents. If you’re looking for something altogether different, travel to the northern Peruvian Andes and trek around the Cordillera Huayhuash range, stopping in indigenous villages, camping by mountain lagoons, and even taking a dip in an icy glacial lake.
