Top 5 Treks in South and Central America
by malph on Mar.17, 2010, under Other Mankini News
Whether you’re a seasoned trekker, occasional explorer or have never ventured into the outdoors in your life, you can’t help but have your breath taken away by these South American and Central American treks. Some are easier than others but you don’t have to be an expert to enjoy them. I event managed the Lost City Trek in Colombia and the Inca Jungle Machu Picchu trek in Peru in the mankini! So they can’t be that bad.
Top 5 treks in South and Central America
- 1. Lost City in Colombia – 5/6 days of great views and hard work are well worth it (and was a great Mankini location – thanks Colombian Military)
- 2. Fitz Roy day hike in Argentina – if the skies are clear, the ascent at the end of 3 hours hiking is a must for all. The crater lakes with the mountains in the background are fantastic
- 3. The ‘W’ in Torres del Paine, Chile – a 4/5 day hike can be made treacherous in bad weather. It’s a tough workout in good weather, but there are plenty of rewards
- 4. Valle de Cocora in Salento, Colombia – breathtaking scenery and free to do, this 4 hour trek is part of the reason I love Colombia
- 5. Las Cascadas in Tacuba, El Salvador – jumping off rocks into the river, swimming downstream with no one else in sight and using ropes to climb down a waterfall in Parque Imposible is one of El Salvador’s highlights
Special mentions must also go to El Mirador in Guatemala, the three day Colca Canyon trek and Huaraz (both in Peru). I didn’t trek any of these but heard great things about them all.
