Santa Cruz Trek

Consistently ranked as one of the best treks in the world, the Santa Cruz weaves through the heart of the Cordillera Blanca. Surrounded by dozens of 6,000-meter peaks—including Huascarán, Peru's highest mountain, and Alpamayo (often called often regarded as one of the most beautiful mountain)—this 3-to-4-day route cuts a dramatic path over the soaring Punta Union pass at 4,750m. Hikers traverse surreal turquoise glacial lakes, sprawling alpine meadows, and desolate moraines in a truly formidable high-altitude environment.

The Wilderness Coast Walk is a remote, point-to-point coastal trek of roughly 100 km, linking the Merrica River trailhead in South East NSW (Nadgee Nature Reserve) to Mallacoota Inlet in Gippsland, Victoria (Croajingolong National Park). The route traverses expansive sand dunes, sandstone headlands, and coastal heathlands along the Tasman Sea, with optional extensions to Green Cape. Navigation relies on tidal windows and topographic cues, as much of the track is unmarked. The walk passes through critical habitats for species such as the White-bellied Sea Eagle. Permits are required from NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service and Parks Victoria.
