The Vilcabamba trek covers a region that long remained on the fringes of the main Andean routes, and even today, it remains virtually unknown to tourists. It connects high-altitude areas with more humid valleys, marking a gradual transition between the Andes and the cloud forest. The route follows ancient Inca trails and passes near minor archaeological sites that have seen little restoration, including Espíritu Pampa.
Hiking takes place in an environment far from the crowds, where the weather and trail conditions will dictate your pace. However, the paths you tread will lead you through magnificent landscapes, which you will have completely to yourself.
