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.

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


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!

Our trip was absolutely fantastic! Kudos to you and Steve and everyone from Aspiring Adventures! We were amazed at the perfect balance of spectacular natural beauty, exercise (biking, walking), learning about old & new cultures & the salt mines etc, together time, apart time, good food, comfortable and quaint hostels, the hot springs, the cooks and camping, etc. etc. Great everything!

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.

The overall experience exceeded my expectations. Awesome people, awesome food, awesome experience every where I went. Loved it. I got to stop and marvel at llamas sitting in the middle of the road, and to share friendly greetings with locals along the way. Enjoyed scrumptious picnic lunches and marveled as giant condors flew over head. Enjoyed every second and feel I got to experience the 'real' Peru. This trip was totally the whole package. Thanks so much Aspiring Adventures.
