Here in the Apus Peru reservations office, we get tons of enquiries from trekkers looking to join a specific group trek on dates that we aren´t currently offering. It is difficult for us to match these people up, especially in the time before the desired departure date. SO, I am hoping that we can use our blog as a forum for uniting potential trekkers! I have posted a link to our most current confirmed departures below, this will be updated regularly. If anyone is interested forming additional groups, please post on THIS page with the dates and treks you are hoping to create! Happy Trekking 🙂

Hi,
I’m an American woman (North Carolina), seeking trekkers interested in doing the 6-Day Salkantay-Inca trail-Machu Picchu in December 2017.
The purpose of my trek is doing research and location scouting for a screenplay I’m writing. The screenplay is a supernatural action adventure. Being spiritually focused, I will be approaching this trip with a sacred mindset and ceremonial connection to Apu, Snake, Puma and Condor energies, energies who play notable roles in my screenplay. Actual experience blended with imagination is a recipe for great storytelling. Whatever your intention is for taking this trek, approaching it with honor and reverence will lead to answers of questions you never thought to ask; hence, lies the secret to all great adventures.
Blessings to all.
Linda

Sat 5/27-Sun 6/4: 4 DAYS/3 NIGHTS – LARES TREK TO MACHU PICCHU
Hi everyone! I’m a friendly EurAsian female from Paris but leaving in San Francisco (speaking English, French native, and Spanish), pretty fit, hiking every weekend, in general comfortable w/ 10-13+ miles w/ elevation 4,000 + feet elevation w/ avg 3 miles / hr. I’m quite flexible and happy to adapt to other hikers’ pace w/ hiking much slower to enjoy nature on vacation.
I’m looking to do this Lares to Machu Picchu (scenic trail-lakes, villages, wild life/animals, etc, not over crowded compared to Inca Trail, no permit required, and off the beaten path trek: http://www.apus-peru.com/treks/lares_machu_picchu.htm leaving during DRY season, Sat 5/27 fly from SF and return on Sun 6/4 (8 days), catching potentially festival period, in end of May-beginning of June.
[In summary, roughly 8 days w/ flight time = 2 days recommended to acclimate to altitude in Cusco, 4 days/3 nights trek, abt 1 day rest/exploration perhaps before return flight].
Would love to meet new people and looking for the company of another hiker (female preferably to share tent), or more hikers (male or female) to lower costs. 🙂 Please email me at mftieu@gmail.com to start discussion/explore options. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Marie (from San Francisco). 😉
Hello, I’m female, fit, regular hiker. I’m looking to join a group and share tent w/ another female, to do Classic Inca Trail (4 days/3 nights) in May or June. Need a permit. Please contact me asap if you have an open spot or may know of someone or another group who may have one. Thanks!
Hello, we are a young couple from Canada looking for people to do the Choquequirao trek (4 days) with Machu Picchu extension August 25 or 26. We are not much flexible on the dates since we are only in Cusco for 1 week.
Please contact me if you are looking for the same date, thanks a lot.

Hi Jamie
Have you filled your quota for this trip as I am looking to join a group on this trek.
I am an older but fit male Aussie living in Brasil, I have a reasonable amount of day hike experience and also have completed the W trail in TDP, so not exactly a novice. My wife may be able to join but not certain as yet as she has just had a spell in hospital. My FB page will give you an insight to my being your sort of trekking companion
I look forward to your reply.

I’m a 52yr M, living in London; speak Eng, Ger, Fre and Spanish (but don’t know the technical hiking terms yet…). Travelled in ca 90 countries, camped in ca a dozen. More traveller than trekker but last year spent 7 days hiking / camping in Papuan rain forest. Will be 10th visit to Peru – a decade ago I worked as a volunteer on an Inca archaeology project at 3700m for 2 weeks.

Posted a Trekkers request earlier today for the 6-Day Salkantay-Inca Trail-Machu Picchu trek for a Dec 2017 date. An ap specialist responded telling me apus-peru doesn’t run this trek in Dec due to rain.
I’m set on taking the 6-Day Salkantay-etc trek when tourist traffic is low. Do you offer this trek in Nov 2017 or Jan 2018?

Hola!
I am a solo female traveller from Australia looking for 1 or more other travellers to join me on the Ausangate & Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain Trek. I would be looking to depart Cusco around 14-16 JULY 2018 (I can be flexible, but 15th would be perfect for me).

Hi Kristy, we are a family of three from Hong Kong and yes we want to do lares track as well, but just up to the first 2 days and not to Machu pichu. We are going to Cuzco and try arrange our hike there, or the trek we read is pretty simple for the 1st 2 days and doable on our own. We are interested in the first 2 days of the lares trek. The trek is Cut into 2, if you are doing lares trek towards Mc. We are interested to form a group. My email is Martinayu@gmail.com thanks
Hi! My boyfriend and I would like to trek from Cuzco to Choquequirao at the beginning of December 2018. Is there anyone interested in that?
The normal trek Choquequirao to Machu Picchu lasts 9 days. We would try to make it shorter, by trying to go from Yanama to Aguas Calientes on our own (hitchhiking, taxi…) and then we would visit Machu Picchu.
Please let me know if you are interested in this trek!
Thank you and muchos saludos!
Francesca and Michèl
