Peru Tours & Vacations

Peru is an indomitable land of deserts etched with ancient geoglyphs, rainforests teeming with wildlife, and soaring peaks harboring secret cities.

While many travelers come to visit one of South America's most famous sites, the ruins of Machu Picchu, the real Peru lies within its warm, proud inhabitants – many of whom can trace their bloodlines back to the Incas. What you might not expect is the foodie bonanza found in Lima or the adventures that await you in the ancient capital of Cusco. Whether you’re exploring the cobbled streets of Arequipa, bobbing on the floating islands of Lake Titicaca or learning about mummies in Nazca, our Peru tours will have you feeling like a modern-day Indiana Jones. Just don’t forget to pack your fedora.

Inca Trail & Amazon Adventure

Duane · Traveled November 2023
Had my phone stolen less than 4 hours into my 12 day trip due to Intrepid making us take unsafe bus transportation to Lima. Intrepid, please pop for the $5, safe, taxi or uber ride for your next group tour. Best trip, turned into worsed trip!

Inca Trail Express

Dawn · Traveled November 2023
My first time travelling with intrepid as a solo traveller. I was supported by the team in South America and although the tour was mentally and physically challenging this team gave me the confidence to complete this amazing adventure I will never forget . Thankyou Armando Vladimir and Silvia for this experience of the Inca Trail.

Inca Trail Express

Taylor · Traveled November 2023
I did the Inca Trail Express in November 2023 and can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Intrepid, the guides, porters, drivers, chefs and our itinerary. They thought of every single thing along the way so we didn’t have to. The team was really knowledgeable about the country which I also enjoyed and the food on the trail was so good! After a long day of hiking, a delicious hot meal is much needed and the chefs delivered just that 3 times a day! Now for the trek- it’s an amazing, challenging and a once in a lifetime experience! You should go!

Classic Peru

Cheryl · Traveled November 2023
An organized tour of the highlights of Peru. Loved the home visit on Lake Titicaca. We appreciated specific guides for Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca. Shirley was a knowledgeable and helpful leader.

Inca Trail Express from Lima

Paula · Traveled November 2023
Intrepid was excellent on my visit to Peru. Personally as I took the train element I would have preferred to spend two nights in Ollantaytambo rather than travel back to Cusco and then back to Ollantaytambo. It would have helped me with the altitude.
