Peru tours that delve deeper

You’re a thoughtful traveller, seeking an experience that’s as authentic and out of the ordinary as you are. You want to be part of the picture – not just another tourist snapping a photo through a bus window. You seek to transcend the obvious, meet real people and get a taste of local life.
You’ve come to the right place.

Age, fitness, available time, and past travel experience are irrelevant. You aspire to a real experience: that’s what matters.

Intimate group tours that take you beneath the surface. Custom private trips limited only by your imagination. Personal service that exceeds all expectations.

Absolutely the trip of a lifetime. I was stunned by the diversity of Vanuatu. Why are there not more tourists? Mountains, beaches, jungle, caves, waterfalls. Snorkeling with tropical fish in perfect clear water. Working up a sweat with a jungle hike then diving into a waterfall to clean up! Staying with locals in a jungle village! I can’t think of anything you could have done differently, or any way this trip could be improved on. Just, thank you!

I thought that the care and consideration taken by the guides was excellent. Also the depth of knowledge and infectious enthusiasm of the guides was great. I found the people warm and friendly, and loved being part of the community in the home stays, and I loved learning about the history and culture.. The itinerary was excellent and was kept to plan throughout the trip.
