Packages to the world's top hiking destinations
By MSNBC

For outdoorsy types and adventurers out there, we’ve scoured the world for the top hiking destinations that are bound to get your adrenaline going. What we found is a trio of excellent packages to get you to legendary trekking spots – the Inca Trail in Peru; Patagonia at the southern tip of South America; and Nepal’s section of the Himalayas. Mountain Travel Sobek offers these land-only trips that now start from just $2,545, with lodgings, meals, guided tours, and more.

The South American country of Peru is a land of pre-historic and colonial sights, friendly people and spectacular nature. It’s also home to one of the world’s most dazzling ancient cities, the legendary Machu Picchu, and leading up to it high up in the Andes mountain chain, the famous Inca Trail. While this trek is truly extraordinary, it’s also a strenuous high-altitude hike, not advised for those who aren’t fit.

If you do want to tackle the Inca Trail, we found a fantastic package by Mountain Travel Sobek. On this eight-day adventure that starts at $3,645, you will stay in picturesque Cuzco, the former capital of the Inca Empire; explore stunning highland ruins where the Incas flourished; and take a one-day hike along the last stretch of the Inca Trail to awe-inspiring Machu Picchu. Included is lodging at deluxe hotels; ground in-country transfers; sightseeing tours with entrance fees; and meals. An extra reason to book this: Sherman's Top 25 subscribers receive an exclusive discount — $400 off rack rates! The package will cost you just $3,245.

Patagonia, a vast region at the southernmost tip of South America, is a hikers’ paradise. With its soaring pink and white granite towers, golden grasslands, dense southern beech forests, enormous glaciers, and sparkling lakes of incredible hues, it offers some of the world’s best trekking in its two national parks: the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile and Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina.
