Chile & Peru Inca Trail and Ski the Andes
Combine two fantastic experiences in a single holiday at a relaxed pace. Visit Chillán Chile's finest ski resort for a week of summer skiing in the Andes, taking advantage of the excellent skiing conditions and the hotel's hot springs. For the second week, hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu over four days, avoiding the crowds and in the safe hands of our expert guides. How active?
In Chillán you can be as active as you want to be. Enjoy the combined pleasures of excellent powder snow, volcanic hot springs and uncrowded pistes in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Conditions are excellent for both skiers and boarders with plenty of accessible off-piste. For the less experienced, lessons are included if you stay for a full week. The Inca Trail involves high altitudes and some steep steps. You will walk around 28 miles over four days at altitudes of up to 4,200m. The pace is relaxed and the walk is fully guided and portaged.

?
We have first hand knowledge of all of the major ski resorts in Chile and can adapt this holiday to suit you. Our Inca Trail hike is a day longer than most, which means you enjoy more peaceful walking and campsites and have more time to explore Machu Picchu itself. We actively support Dental Project Peru.
