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


My family and I had a great time and the trip was AMAZING. Thank you for everything. Your communication and flexibility prior to the trip exceeded my expectations. Aldo was about the most genuine and pleasant person I could hope for as a guide. Yohan was a fine cook and a pleasure to be around. All such likeable people. We would do the trip again in a heartbeat

Aspiring Adventures really helped make my whole trip both exciting and relaxing. All the details were thought through and the guides were incredible.I had first considered bringing my own bike, but glad I didn't bother -- the rental bikes were solid machines, actually better than my own bike, and Ronald maintained them excellently throughout the trip too. I can't recommend biking in Peru enough, especially when you do it with an Aspiring Adventures crew.

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.

– Jill C.

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.
