Why Travel
with Us?
To
Experience the Southern Crossings Difference!
After working as a
guide for several of the commercial "large-group" tour
companies, veteran traveler and Southern Crossings founder Doug
Newton had a different idea: a tour company for individuals,
friends and families where you can design your perfect trip and
depart any day you like. A tour company that will quickly and
personally respond to your inquiry with a custom-designed
vacation package that is just right for you. A tour company that will
thoughtfully answer all of your questions, will include the
little things as well as the big things, and will make sure you
feel welcome, safe and comfortable once you arrive. Add to all
this our knowledgeable and qualified guides, our policy of using
only airlines and operators with good safety records (even if
they cost more), and our unique "hands-on" program of
giving back to the local community, and you've got one very
special tour company. What are you waiting for? Take your
dream trip with us and experience the Southern Crossings
difference...
"I found
Southern Crossings on the internet and chose them over about 10 other groups. I did not know anyone but
took the chance as the itinerary & price fit my needs. I HIGHLY
recommend Doug & Southern Crossings! The trip was perfect and
Doug was so very dependable & trustworthy. He is a true gem.
Some of the other people in our group had been on a trip to Peru
last year and swore they would follow him anywhere...So will
I..."

Just like
the name says, this is truly the ultimate
Andean trekking experience. We'll spend nine stunning days of this trip
traversing old Inca roads in the remote
Vilcabamba region of
Peru, exploring seldom-visited and forest-clad
ruins; spotting
condors, Andean eagles and countless varieties of
orchids and
other flora; taking in the most magnificent
vistas and
landscapes of arguably any trek in South America; and finally
arriving at the Sacred City itself, Machu
Picchu, for a full day
of exploration and discovery. This is one of the most
rewarding and exciting outdoor experiences to be had in South
America, yet is completely accessible to the average healthy
person. Many of our former passengers had done very little
or no trekking before this trip but enjoyed it immensely.
Our days are not long, averaging six hours of walking, so there is plenty of
time to relax and enjoy this magnificent adventure. |

JOURNEY TO CHOQUEQUIRAO

Sacred Valley, two days at Machu Picchu

Is it possible that in its setting and unbelievable vistas,
Choquequirao is equal to or even more beautiful than Machu Picchu? As you sit on the
small hill perched above this ancient city, watching wisps of cloud fly by
at arm's length and condors soar high above, with
snow-capped peaks all
around and the Apurimac River raging over a mile below you, we think
you'll agree. Choquequirao, often called Machu Picchu's sister
city, is the most remote of the major Inca sites, and
no doubt the fact that one must walk for two days to arrive there has kept
it from achieving the fame it so deserves. But it is this remoteness which
keeps it so pristine, with orchids and other flora in abundance and the
possibility of seeing as many condors as people along the trail. It is
truly one of the world's special places, and we are immensely proud of the
opportunity to share it with you. Besides the trek to Choquequirao, our trip
includes one day in Cuzco, one day in the
Sacred Valley, one day in
Lima, and
two days
within the Machu Picchu sanctuary.

BIKING THE INCA EMPIRE
15 days:
US$2445 / UKŁ1260
Highlights:
5 days of biking excursions, Cuzco, Lima,
Sacred Valley, two days at Machu Picchu
Trip Itinerary and Details |
Departs any day for
two or more
|
|
The
area around Cuzco is perfect for mountain biking: hilly and generally
open, with
great views in every direction. Add to that the history and
archaeological wealth of the region, and you've got the makings of a
great trip. Our journey is a comfortable blend of biking and other
exploration: three separate bike excursions of one to two days are
offered over the course of the trip, allowing you to make it as exciting
or relaxing as you wish. Time not spent biking can be spent exploring
the city of Cuzco and the surrounding ruins or pursuing other optional
activities such as whitewater rafting. Our trip also includes one free
day in Lima and two days at the Machu Picchu sanctuary. Please see a
description of each mountain biking excursion within the trip itinerary
below. (Note: all biking excursions are accompanied by spare bikes in
case of breakdowns and the option of a ride if you just can't quite make
that next hill.)
