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.

It was an amazing trip, one of the best I've ever taken (right up there with my trek across Asia in 1990-91), and I'd have to say without question the best we've taken with the kids. I can't emphasize enough how much we appreciated Aldo and Oscar as guides, each great in his own way. Aldo is such a gentle spirit, an "old soul" in the true sense, and I especially loved what he taught us about Inca/Quechua spirituality and reverence for Pachamama. I think we all felt a bond with Aldo very quickly, and by the end he was part of the family. I felt no qualms trusting him with my children's safety on the trail, or anywhere else, which tells you everything you need to know.

The Inca Trail hike was beautiful and so fascinating and our Aspiring Adventures guides and crew were great. The mountains near Machu Picchu were as beautiful and majestic a setting as anywhere I have ever seen. The entire experience was amazing. This was our second South American expedition with Aspiring Adventures and we will definitely use them on additional adventures soon.

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.

Our group of international trekking friends booked a private trip with Aspiring Adventures to trek the Torres del Paine Grand Traverse and kayak in glacial waters on the Serrano River in southern Chile. We had an outstanding and memorable experience. This trip was fantastic and Aspiring Adventures did a wonderful job of planning and executing. We are already arranging our next Peru (or maybe New Zealand) trekking trip with AA.
