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.

Superb! It felt like my husband and I were seeing the magical Sacred Valley and no one else was around but the people of the Andes. I love the way Aldo and Paul took the back roads, so we got to see how people really live and avoid the other tours, and stopped when we saw a festival going on, so that we could go visit. That was really special to have them do that!

Absolutely 5-star. I didn't know what to expect, but Aspiring Adventures exceeded my wildest dreams. Great guides, great biking, great scenery, great encouragement, great mini-connections with natives. Loved biking downhill in the Andes the most. I also enjoyed the two nights we camped. And of course Machu Picchu.

Wow! It's hard to express how amazing our trip in Peru was! The festival at Paucartambo is sensational - we'll remember that experience for a long time to come! Thanks Steve and Katy for putting everything together - we simply couldn't have done it without you.

– Michael and Lynda R.

Our trip was absolutely incredible. I cannot believe how seamless it was. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for contributing so mightily to the trip of a lifetime. Our next trip is to England, Scotland and Ireland. I wish you did work there as well.
