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 got to mountain bike with local Peruvian guides who grew up riding their bikes in the hills around Cusco. It was really fun to experience their mountain bike culture and get a chance to try out Peru's unique trails in the Sacred Valley! Gear list was perfect. Our driver was AMAZING. The food was really good -- especially the nights we camped!

The Peru Classic was such a great way to travel, learn about the amazing history and have plenty of fun and adventure along the way. Luis was great with the kids and we really appreciated his knowledge and passion for Peru, its history and indigenous culture. Thanks for giving our family an experience that we'll never forget.

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.
