After
ten years and nearly 6,000 people served, I was asked so
countless times about how can I portray my land. In short, two
words may translate and outline the feelings I’ve got
working on these mountains: Cordilleras and Incas. |
|
|
|
The
Cordillera de Los Andes it’s the world’s second largest
mountain range right after the Himalayas. You can bear in
mind: about 7.240 km (some 4.500 mi) long, and an average
breadth of 241 km (150 mi). |
|
|
|
The
Andes spread into several parallel ranges. At the central part
of Peru, the chain divides into three distinct ranges. The
Cordillera Blanca rises abruptly from the Pacific coast
escorted by the Western range known as Cordillera Negra and
the Eastern one called Cordillera Oriental. Caraz, our head
quarter, is based at the north end of this system. |
|
|
|
The
Southern section, close to the Amazon basin, offers three more
ranges, Cordillera Vilcabamba, Cordillera Urubamba and
Cordillera Vilcanota. Cuzco, our branch office, it’s located
right there. |
|
|
Extending
more than 5.500 km down the mountainous Andean backbone, the
Incas made the biggest native state to arise in the Southern
Hemisphere, and the largest empire of ancient times ever to
build up south of the equator. |
|
|
|
Like
their Roman matching part – Incas marched far beyond the
frontiers of civilization to lead barbarian tribes. At its
height, Cuzco, the imperial capital, exercised rule over
northern Chile, upland Argentine, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and
the south of Colombia. No existing Andean realm may compares
in magnitude or prosperity. |
|
|
|
Incas
made Trekking likely in Peru as resulting of their vast
all-weather highway system. Major thoroughfares and trunk
lines covered some 30,000 to 40,000 km. Modern technology,
makes Climbing and Mountain Biking possible. |
|
|
|
Nowadays,
the rich Andean culture remains as a human heritage. The
friendly people, their music, colourful costumes, and tasty
meals fill in the senses providing a unique experience
combined with any of our programs. |
