Connie, you have a lot of great choices ahead of you. The answer really depends what you are looking for — wide open desert, high mountains, pilgrimage route. All are such different experiences in terms of landscapes, culture, level of activity, etc. We loved the 10-day Huayhuash trek in Peru and it is much more or a high elevation alpine trek (more similar to Annapurna) than the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. It was one of the best treks we’ve ever done in terms of scenery, challenge, and just getting away into nature. The Namibian desert and Big Daddy are more about vastness and wide open spaces. And the Camino is about the trail, but it’s more about the feeling of community with other pilgrims. We walked our Camino del Norte/Camino Primitivo, but I imagine it is the same as for bikers as you’re staying in similar albergues and accommodation.

So, the question is really about what sort of adventure, landscape and experience you want this summer. All are great options.

I am trying to decide where to travel this summer in June. My thoughts are the 10-day Huayhuash hike that you posted about, biking the Santiago Camino way, or go to Namibia to see the desert and climb up Big Daddy, I love Africa and Peru. I have never been to Spain or Portugal. I love to hike. My husband and I hiked up Kilimanjaro the summer before last. It was a highlight of my life. We did the 9-day hike, and that’s why I am leanint=g towards the Huayhuash trek. But my heart. wants to return to Africa. We did the Macchu Picchu trail ten years ago and I loved that. So how would you rate the 10 day Huayhuash trek? I also hiked the Anna Purna to Mutanoth 40 years ago, which was another high light. I love hiking but Africa is calling. Any advise would be great.
Thank you,
Connie Kakalia
