Comprehensive journey visiting Peru's stunning highlights
Walk the classic Inca Trail route to Machu Picchu
Experience a night on Taquile Island, Lake Titicaca
Dive deep into Peru’s wonders on the Peru In Depth and the Inca Trail tour, a 19-day odyssey crafted for experienced travelers with a taste for adventure and cultural immersion. Starting in Lima and culminating in Cusco, this challenging tour package weaves together iconic sites and hidden treasures, blending hiking with authentic encounters.
The adventure unfolds across 15 destinations, from the enigmatic Nazca Lines to the elegant colonial streets of Arequipa. Feel the rush as you gaze at condors gliding over Colca Canyon—one of the world’s deepest gorges—or immerse yourself in lakeside life with a homestay on the serene waters of Lake Titicaca. Your trekking journey peaks with the legendary Inca Trail, a multi-day hike through cloud forests and ancient ruins, culminating in a sunrise arrival at Machu Picchu.
When permits for the Inca Trail are limited, the alternative Quarry Trek offers a quieter, equally scenic route, merging into the classic trail for a triumphant finish. Throughout, you’ll be supported by expert guides, comfortable accommodations, and thoughtfully arranged meals and transport.
The USP of this tour package lies in its blend of both headline attractions and off-the-beaten-path experiences—delivering a holistic, in-depth exploration of Peru’s landscapes, cultures, and history. For travelers seeking a journey that challenges, inspires, and reveals the heart of Peru, this is the ultimate adventure.

My trip to Peru was amazing. Wonderful country, landscapes, food, culture. The Explore itinerary captures all the highlights without the hassle of organising yourself. Julio was a great tour leader. Friendly, funny, well organised and professional. We didn't have to worry about anything with Julio looking after us.
In three weeks we had a comprehensive tour of Peru with an excellent leader, Julio. Diverse landscapes, fabulous food, friendly people and amazing weather. We learned so much about the country and are already planning to return.
One of my best ever adventures, made special by a caring group and Julio our experienced and knowledgeable guide who was full of enthusiasm and cared about everyone. My top highlights were Taquile Island, particularly the singing and dancing around the fire, and camping above the clouds on the Inca Trail. Other high points included the Lima v Arequippa football match, Huacachina Oasis, the floating islands, the hot springs and Ollantayambo.
Julio was an excellent guide- the best I have experienced. His knowledge, enthusiasm and lovely sense of humour helped to make the trip unforgettable. Highlights included staying at a home stay on Lake Titicaca, condor viewing, seeing Humboldt penguins, trekking over the Dead Woman’s Pass and seeing Machu Picchu.
