From the Field: Peru Adventure Vacation
At Austin-Lehman Adventures, our guests are our best ambassadors. Here’s an excerpt from one traveler’s journal about her Peru vacation:"I had such a fantastic experience in Peru. I met so many amazing people and had the opportunity to see and experience so much...From the food to the multi sport activities to the history, it was an amazing mix of culture. I love the way your company customizes trips and combines cultural experiences with multisport adventures and first class service and accommodations. I am definitely hooked on Austin-Lehman! For me, the hardest part (besides going home) is deciding what the next adventure will be."
~ John Dobbs, Bonita Springs, Florida – 2007 Peru Adventure

Peru: Land of the Inca
Massive stone tombs, terraces and water channels – relics of Peru's ancient civilization – dot the backcountry trail as you travel by Paso Fino to the remote Andean community of Cachiccata. Your mount's gait is smooth, controlled; posting is surprisingly easy. As you slow to a walk, your guide explains that it's believed the Inca never used the wheel in any practical manner…which makes you wonder how on earth the stones used to build the ruins could have possibly been moved by hand...?
Peru is a country of mysteries – some waiting to be unraveled, many which will remain until the end of time. Stand atop Huayna Picchu surrounded by verdant mountaintops and deep blue sky, the winding Urubamba River and the Lost City of the Inca thousands of feet below. Hike Peru's Inca Trail, a mystical mix of ruins, mountain scenery, lush cloud forest and rich subtropical jungle, and watch the day break over Machu Picchu. Mountain biking Peru back roads past tiny villages, raft the class II & III whitewater of the Urubamba through the Sacred Valley and shop vibrant Indian markets for hand-woven tapestries and blankets. Savor the fine regional cuisine and unwind at the end of the day in the comfort of an exquisite hotel.
