Peru Tours in July 2026

Fantastic tour guides, thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise! Small adjustments to the itinerary (a little more down time, and more options to visit historical sites) could make the tour even better.

What set this apart was the CEOs (Oscar and Flor). They really made this tlwhole trip easy. They relayed all the information so you could just relax and enjoy the holiday. Their experience, knowledge and support was invaluable to make this a holiday to just sit back and relax. They made all the travel, border crossings and activities seem so easy but the amount of work they do behind the scenes to enable all of this, I give them a lot of credit.

Two weeks through Colombia and Peru, and it felt like we packed in a lifetime of memories. It was busy, yes, but in the best way, every day brought something new and unexpected. Cartagena was our first stop, hot and humid, but absolutely beautiful. Great seafood & some of the most charming streets I’ve walked through in a long time. The coffee region was a real highlight for me. I’ve always enjoyed a good cup but actually seeing how it’s grown and meeting the people behind it added a whole new appreciation. Brought back a few bags and now I can’t drink anything else. Bogota was big and bustling. A bit hectic at times, but had a nice energy to it. The view from Monserrate was well worth the climb (well...cable car in our case!). Then Peru — absolutely stunning. Machu Picchu is everything they say and more. Pictures don’t do it justice. The Sacred Valley was peaceful, Cusco was full of character, and Lake Titicaca? Fascinating. I had no idea about the floating islands before this. A few early mornings here and there, but that’s part of the deal when you want to see so much. Would definitely recommend this trip to fellow travelers 50+ who are still up for an adventure but want it all organized for you. Just pack your walking shoes and an open mind, South America will take care of the rest.

As our guide would say "The point is this, my friends"... and the day begins. This was one of the best experience I have had. Our guide - Gary - made sure we were on schedule on the trek. He explained to us all the pros and cons and how to get the most out of the Inca Trail. The porters were great. The chef - Julio - made the best camp meals for vegetarians. The scenery is breathtaking. Yes it may seem long and a lot of walking but its worth it. The team made the whole journey worthwhile - from booking to the end. Rosmel - our booking contact kept us informed all the time. Don't hesitate, just do it. Great guide, chef and company. Mahesh

I’ll always remember my time in Peru thanks to Charlie and this trip! I was happy that for once, somebody else was taking care of the trip details instead of me having to plan everything. I knew that Charlie and his team were nearby in case I needed anything. Shoutout to the amazing guides I had throughout the trip, they made everything even more memorable!

Explore Customer Services Agent Shane provided excellent service, including in finding Amazon accommodation for the exact dates I wanted, as part of a several months’ long itinerary. The trip went smoothly, with the pick up and drop off arrangements, as well as premium accommodation in a jungle lodge. In the space of three days, I was able to enjoy nine guided nature walks and boat excursions. I was entranced by the wonderful array of Amazon flora and fauna. I highly recommend Explore in general and this trip in particular.
