Peru Tours in Summer

Machu Picchu was the obvious highlight but I really enjoyed everywhere we went in Peru with great food and scenery along the way. Arequipa is a beautiful city to explore and the Santa Catalina convent is really interesting. The Colca Canyon is stunning and seeing the condors was an added bonus. The Uros Islands were interesting and colourful and the homestay on Taquile Island was simple and comfortable. Learning about the way of life on Taquile was fascinating. The excursion to Maras and Moray was one of my favourite things along with the visit to Misminay where we had a lesson on stargazing. Machu Picchu is stunning and finishing off in Cusco with Inti Raymi was another highlight. Our tour leader Julio was fantastic - he is really knowledgeable and was very entertaining. He also went out of his way to help the group - I had an issue with my luggage not arriving and he was so helpful. Would recommend this holiday to anyone.

One of the most unforgettable trips of my life. The Salkantay trek was breathtaking — snow-capped peaks, changing landscapes, and finally arriving at Machu Picchu made every step worth it. Alpaca Expedition handled every detail, from camping to meals, so we could just enjoy the journey.

This was one of our best vacation/trips. Insight Vacations did an excellent job with our itinerary and the amount of places we visited and things we did. Really saw a lot of the cultural that we would have missed as just a tourist on our own. Hotels and food were the best. Bring a 220V converter for the room and a phone charging cord with a USB end as that was what is available on most busses and train.

Arturo was an amazing guide. Knowledge was exceptional and very helpful especially when some guests felt unwell. His patience and sense of humour also added to a first class trip,

I had a wonderful adventure in Peru . Our lovely group saw interesting and exciting things every day. The food and accommodation were excellent and the transport was spacious and comfortable. The experience was greatly enhanced by the humour and patience of our excellent tour leader Julio Cezar Yabar - we all appreciated his hard work and professionalism. A highlight for me was seeing condors in Colca Canyon. Thank you Explore . I will travel with you again

What an epic and memorable trip. Well planned too in that the itinerary and our great tour leader, Pabel, gave everyone a chance to get used to the altitude. As a result everyone was able to complete the Inca Trail without suffering from altitude sickness. Another stand out point was that up until the last day of the trail the itinerary and Pabel somehow ensured we stayed away from other walkers (and there are quite a lot!) so we still were able to experience the remoteness and stunning beauty of the route on our own! We've been away with Explore on a number occasions and would certainly recommend them. Even on the rare occasions where there have been problems they've been swiftly dealt with - always the sign of a good company.
