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.

This trip exceeded my expectations from the riding to the wealth of knowledge and passion from the guides. The food was some of the best I've had and the places we traveled to were just beautiful!

– Beth F (travled in September 2022)

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.

We arrived home just a couple of hours ago and I wanted to make sure that I reach out to you and let you know about our wonderful experience. We gave a rave review on Trip Advisor, but I wanted to make sure I wrote you personally to let you know that we really thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Luis was brilliant! He was so kind and funny and helped us understand so much more than we ever knew. He was charismatic and sociable with us, really the perfect tour guide! Ronald was a great driver as well. I mean, we rode a lot around Peru as passengers and Ronald was by far the best. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that Luis is the best, Roni is awesome and the tour was absolutely amazing. We had THE BEST TIME, and thank you very much!!!

Our group of international trekking friends booked a private trip with Aspiring Adventures to trek the Torres del Paine Grand Traverse and kayak in glacial waters on the Serrano River in southern Chile. We had an outstanding and memorable experience. This trip was fantastic and Aspiring Adventures did a wonderful job of planning and executing. We are already arranging our next Peru (or maybe New Zealand) trekking trip with AA.
