Peru Local culture Trips

Whilst the visit to Machu Picchu was the motivation for choosing the trip, I found the extra places we visited added a comprehensive insight into Peruvian history and lifestyle. Another bonus was the dramatic scenery and interaction with nature.

Stellar travel experience that pushed me beyond my own limits, provided opportunities that would not otherwise been achievable, while still providing me the confidence in being safe. The experience was well beyond what I anticipated, and delivered to a level that impressive.

This trip was hands down amazing! From the food, the locals and the views. I really enjoyed myself. Our tour leader was Fernando. He was excellent! Very knowledgeable, attentive and he made sure we were safe at all times. At times I would walk slower than the rest of the group and Fernando would stay right by my side. I truly adore him for that. He's such a sweet guy! The highlight of the tour was Machu Picchu. It's breathtaking and worth every penny! Also the other optional excursion to Paracas was VERY enjoyable. I highly recommend you book that too! It's more than just seeing penguins, we rode dune buggys in the desert, went wine tasting etc.. book it, you won't be disappointed… I always say I would never visit the same country twice, but after my experience in Peru, I would definitely go back.

Our Sacred Peru tour was incredible. I was surprised by how much I loved each aspect of the trip. I assumed Machu Picchu would be the major highlight, but there were so many other experiences that were just as incredible. We loved our trip to the Uros Islands on Lake Titikaka, exploring various Incan ruins in the Sacred Valley, and wandering the streets of Arequipa and Cusco. Our tour guide, Fernando, is Peruvian and was a wonderful source of knowledge. His patience and attention to the needs of the group ensured we all had the best time.

Machu Picchu is now off my bucket list. It was a great adventure. It took a while to acclimate to the altitudes but am glad the tour started in Ariquipa and we worked our way to Machu Picchu so by the time I arrived I was able to climb without any issues. There was a lot of time on the bus but we stopped at many places to break it up. Great trip!!!

As my first experience with organized travel, I was so very impressed with G Adventures. From the transport to and from the airport, to the compilation of our group of 16, to the knowledable, friendly, and hard workindg tour guide, to all the logistics involved with buses, trains, admissions to sites, meals, all worked as a well oiled machine. I will definitely consider their model of travel for upcoming trips.
