What to expect on a Small Group Adventure in Peru
We offer a variety of Small Group Adventures in Peru, so whether you're after trekking, culture, wildlife - or a bit of everything - there's a trip for you. Here's some of the typical highlights:
Inca history
Peru is home to some of South America's most impressive archaeological sites. Discover the ancient Inca capital of Cusco, explore the Sacred Valley and, of course, make your way to Machu Picchu. With a local guide by your side, you'll get more context about the places you're visiting and the cultures that shaped them.
The great outdoors
If you like getting active, Peru has plenty to offer. Hike through the Andes, explore the dramatic landscapes around Huaraz or take on one of the country's many trekking routes. You can also swap mountain peaks for desert dunes and try sandboarding or a buggy ride around Huacachina.
The Amazon
Peru is home to a huge section of the Amazon rainforest, and heading into the jungle is a completely different experience from exploring the Andes. Around Puerto Maldonado, you can venture deep into the rainforest, spot wildlife and experience one of the world's most biodiverse environments.
The new friends
A group adventure gives you a ready-made travel crew from the moment you arrive. Whether you're hiking, exploring ruins, trying new food or simply hanging out after a busy day, you'll have people to share the experience with. And if you're travelling solo, it's an easy way to meet other travellers along the way.
Have a look at the different itineraries and find the trip that speaks to you. Oh, and remember: a Small Group Adventure doesn't have to be your entire trip – it can simply be one part of a bigger adventure. For example, it's a great way to break up your solo travels and enjoy some company for a while, or to take a break from planning if you're travelling for a longer period.
