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.

We create life-changing travel experiences.

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

Biking in the Andes caused my heart to fly. Putting into words the magic of this trip is a challenge. The bike riding and the scenery were amazing (and I live 30 minutes from the Rockies in CO!). The magic goes deeper--- I learned about the local population, the Inca history, the natural world, the foods and more from our incredible guide, Luis. The other guides and staff were also amazing: Will, Josh, Walter, Ruben, Johan, Abraham....they all felt like family; we could joke them and totally trusted them.

Our Peru trip was fantastic.Everyone had a once in a lifetime experience and we all appreciated your careful organisation and attention to detail. Every member of your team was skilled , pleasant and kind. Alex the chef is totally amazing. We were awed by the delicious meals he could create in very difficult conditions. Nestor and Luis were great guides. We appreciated your call in Aguas Calientes .Not many tour companies are so personally involved in their tours. We feel that we were very lucky to find you.

We had a wonderful trip and experience in Peru. Nestor and Luis were enjoyed by all of us. They were very attentive, helpful and welcoming. They made the trip extra special. They took care of all the details that made our vacation worry free. All we had to do was show up on time each day and enjoy each new adventure they had arranged for us. I think it fair to say for our group that we all came away from the trip with pleasant memories of Peru and the Peruvian people. You couldn’t ask for more.

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!
