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.

Aldo's passion and love of his country, his culture, his knowledge of history and his role as a guide was of the highest standard. His innate sense of timing enabled us to experience the absolute most we could at every location and activity we participated in. This experience is one none of us will ever forget. Aldo is a brother to us.

A great introduction into the life and environment of the Peruvian people and their history. Machu Picchu was also amazing, and having Aldo get us to the best spot for the sun to rise over the mountain and light up the alter in the sun temple was something I will remember forever.

I highly recommend Aspiring Adventures. Working with Katy was a pleasure and she customized our trip to meet our needs, desires and time frames. The guides were great eliminating the normal stresses of travelling by having everything arranged for us. And they were all friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
If you are looking for someone to handle all the particulars of an adventure travel trip, but still be able to give input on what you like and don't like, AA is the way to go!
