Leigh, our Social Media guru, recently made it to Machu Picchu after tackling the Inca Trail – a four-day trek through the lush, challenging Peruvian Andes. With fabulous views across varying scenery, high passes to test the legs and a stunning collection of Incan remains en route, it’s a trail that packs so much into its relatively short duration. So where else to trek if you’re short on time but long on adventure? Take a walk through our recommendations.

Walking the Great Wall

Whether you’re exploring unsullied wildernesses, getting among beautiful landscapes or spending time with remote communities, trekking unlocks destinations in a unique way, making walkers truly a part of a place, and helping give a rich appreciation of both local cultures and scenery.

Peregrine started in Nepal, and we started on foot. Three decades on, our trekking trips explore some of the world’s great wild places. We asked our trekking expert Lou Day to give us a run through some of her top trips on foot.

Like sapphires scattered from the hand of some forgetful, languorous god, the high alpine lakes known as Solomon’s Jewels are absolutely beautiful. Within the Walls of Jerusalem National Park, these pure pools of crystal clear water – sometimes glazed with thin ice – are fringed by moss, tussocks, highland forest and vaulting rocky outcrop. A pristine natural environment at it’s best , the park’s scenery and air will make you breathe deep – walking ‘The Walls’ is a Tasmanian experience to treasure.

Continuing with the theme of ‘new stuff’ (our website has got a swanky new look,in case you were wondering where the theme comes from), we thought we’d have a run-through some of our favourite destinations that are among the newer ones on our trips.
