New Guided Self Drive 4x4 into Northern Peru - An Alternative to Machu Picchu?

Peru Safari are pioneering a new trip that heads away from Machu Picchu to the largely undiscovered delights of Northern Peru...

Cloud Warrior Tracks to Amazonas is a 16 Night 4x4 Guided Self-Drive to Kuelap & Gocta Falls (Northern Peru)

Tour operators are not often able to divert travelers understandably determined on visiting an icon like Machu Picchu, but recent restrictions to alleviate crowding have led to Peru Safari, a specialist UK 4x4 operator, offering a unique alternative that heads deep into Northern Peru. A largely undiscovered route heads across some of South America’s highest peaks, the Cordillera Blanca, eventually arriving via sinuous tracks into the steamy jungles of Kuelap and the Chachapoyas Cloud Warrior fortress. Returning via the world’s second highest falls at Gocta, the trip encompasses coastal desert pre-Inca sites such as Chimu, and the 5000-year-old city of Caral (the oldest in the Americas). A self-drive expertly guided 4x4 expedition reaches remote locations that others can only dream of. It avoids using generic hotels and instead serves up an eclectic mix of mountain lodges, rustic haciendas, and luxurious hotels. This is an excellent trip for adventurers of all levels, but you do need to enjoy driving and getting way off the beaten track.
