The Central Andes stretch from mid-Peru in the north to the Atacama Desert in the south, following the Pacific coast and up and over the Andes into the westernmost rainforests of the Amazon. Sendas Altas works throughout the region, sharing with our visitors the incredibly diverse landscapes, ecosystems and cultural groups that  comprise the region and are  adapted to extreme climatic and ecological conditions produced by the 7242 kilometer long Andes range with the Pacific to the west and the vast Amazon basin to the east.

Whether your interests lie in learning about the ancient civilizations that developed along the Peruvian coast and in the highland valleys and plateaus or taking on a challenging trek following the footpaths of the Inca and their predecessors, in the Central Andes there is much to learn and much to do and truly something for everyone. The region is a fascinating blend of highland deserts, tropical rainforests, glaciated mountain ranges and verdant valleys waiting to be explored and experienced. Add to that a history of human activity that spans from the emergence of some of the world’s first agricultural systems to the development of complex civilizations such as those of Tiwanaku, Molle and the Inca to the modern cities of Lima, Cuzco, La Paz, Santa Cruz de la Sierra and Santiago de Chile and the reasons for visiting multiply.
