We run, walk, hike, and explore the world actively! We believe that the soul of the explorer is inside each of us. And, we believe, that the best way to explore a region, a country, a city, or a culture is from the ground level, and on your own two feet. A rugged landscape, a rainforest trail, or a city street are all paths to discovery. Marathon Expeditions trips bring the world to you, and you to the world. And in the end, you will be making like-minded active friends and memories that will last a lifetime.

I enjoyed the trip very much. The accommodations were excellent. Our guides were genuine and very informative. Peru is a beautiful country with some very challenging hikes. I’m glad that I went and I felt I learned about Peru and it’s history.

This was a fantastic trip! The trekking was spectacular and cultural immersion experiences were wonderful. The accommodations were perfect. I really enjoyed my fellow travelers and had so much fun on this trip.

By Deborah A. S for 2025 The Peru Adventure: Machu Picchu & Beyond on Jul 24, 2025

My Peru trip was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Everything was well organized and perfect in so many ways. All the pre planning and attention to detail provided set the course for this memorable ladies trip. Big kudos to Jenny Hadfield (Marathon Expedition’s) for all the professional services she provided and another heartfelt thanks goes out to the three amazing guides that made this trip exploring Peru an amazing adventure. To sum it up it was a unique culture and historical experience. Incredible and stunning views, challenging hikes and climbs, awesome and varied landscapes with endless mountain peaks and deep valleys. The lodging was excellent choices. I Did It! (Is a phrase I’m so happy so shout). The one day IncaTrail hike was my main focus on this trip and that feeling you have when you finish that hike is hard to describe, but without Jenny Hadfield’s expertise and guidance this wouldn’t have been possible.

By Jill G for 2025 The Peru Adventure: Machu Picchu & Beyond on Jul 18, 2025

This trip was well planned with daily activities for all fitness levels. The accommodations and food were excellent. The guides not only helped us hiking but also gave detailed information on the history and culture. I highly recommend.
