Peru tours in May 2025
A Peruvian adventure in May, you say?
May is a brilliant month to explore Peru before the high-season crowds arrive. Venture into the mighty Amazon in search of monkeys and medicinal plants, learn how to make traditional chocolate or corn beer with locals in Sacred Valley, or munch and sip your way from Lima to Cusco on a food adventure. Big on hiking? May is one of the best months to hit the trails in Colca Canyon or conquer the iconic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu when everything's still lush and green from the recent rains.

Inca Trail & Amazon Adventure
Erick · Traveled May 2024
This trip is fast paced, but stunning. We did the train option, but it still involved a lot of hiking. The best part are the team leaders. Our leader, Marcia, was a gem. Her response to any need was amazing.

Hernan was the perfect leader on this whirlwind tour! Be aware of the fast-pace: early morning starts, one-night stays, no rest days. The Inca Trek is harder than advertised due to altitude: be ready for the physical challenge; or take the train option if you prefer slower travel.

This was a trip that was a a life changing experience. Every detail was thought through as the guidance that was provided was unmatched by any! I honestly wouldn’t really consider any other company for guided travel!
Review submitted 10 Jun 2024Premium Peru with Ica Valley
michael · Traveled May 2024
Peru exceeded my expectations, both in the varying sites of interest, spiritual experiences of Machu Picchu, the Amazon, and the extremely kind and knowledgable guide (Carlos) who attended to our every needs with patience, charm, humor and friendship.
Highly recommended. If budget-conscious, consider the 9 day Premium option that omits the Ica valley (beautiful, but missing this would not detract from the experience).
