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.

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 group by nature has very high expectations, and Aspiring Adventures exceeded them. From personalized and entertaining tours of various Inca ruins, to hands on community involvement in Patabamba, to a magical trek via the Inca Trail, and finishing with an Amazing Race through Cusco City, Aspiring Adventures took a very complex concept and morphed it into a world class experience for our entire organization. I'm very impressed with the entire team that served us at the highest level. FIVE STARS!!!

When we found a cheap flight to Peru, we pretty much only knew Machu Pichu was there and were pretty clueless about everything else. Aspiring Adventures asked thoughtful questions about what we like and put together an amazing itinerary that we loved. The food and locations they chose were great, and whenever we needed advice, they helped us figure out exactly what we needed, whether it was the right restaurant, how to find a real pure alpaca hat, or the history behind an architectural feature, they always knew. I'm so glad they were the ones teaching us more about their beautiful country.

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.
