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.

From the very first email and phone call Steve and Katy were warm, reassuring, understanding, above all professional and obviously extremely well informed. A huge thank you to our guide Aldo who must be the kindest, most patient man on the face of the earth (and probably the best informed on the Inca empire too!) Everything on this trip was just wonderful, so much so that it has changed maybe forever my view on international travel I am already thinking about where our next family trip will be! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

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.

Superb! It felt like my husband and I were seeing the magical Sacred Valley and no one else was around but the people of the Andes. I love the way Aldo and Paul took the back roads, so we got to see how people really live and avoid the other tours, and stopped when we saw a festival going on, so that we could go visit. That was really special to have them do that!

– Terry K

An amazing experience! The cultural experience of 'out of town' Peru is a bonus to see whilst enjoying the great activities. Big thanks to Ronald for making this such an enjoyable trip and providing very thoughtful and personal attention during the whole trip. And not forgetting Steve for the awesome attention to detail and regular contact leading up to the trip.
