Peru adventure 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. Rob and I were not keen to climb Wayna Picchu and we told Aldo this. However due to the quiet and confident manner in which he interacted with our group, we had the confidence and trust to know that if Aldo thought we could climb Wayna Picchu everything would be fine and so it was. That experience and satisfaction was one none of us will ever forget. Aldo is a brother to us.

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.

What was the highlight? Before I went I was sure it would be the land diving. Now I would have to say, hiking up an active volcano and looking down into it! That was simply incredible! Staying on Hideaway Island was another of my favourite parts… and the kayaking, and snorkeling, and the sunrises and sunsets. Every day was different and every day was a highlight. It was the best organized tour I’ve ever been on, and I’ve been on quite a few.

Looked after very well and a great experience. The guides were awesome! There wasn't anything I could pick that needed to be improved on. Have had an excellent adventure, amazing insight into Peru native culture and amazing mountain biking - feel renewed and remotivated and will definitely go on another Aspiring Adventures tour in the future.
