Peru is a mecca for adventure and active holidays. The Inca trail is the best known, along with several variants in the same Andean area around Machu Pucchu. These trips require fitness and a reasonable condition, but can definitely be done by people of all ages who will thoroughly enjoy the experience. They are not restricted to the domain of the hard adventurer! Of the trips below, Trekking Ausangate probably requires more preparation.

Testimonials: Sandra, I wanted to tell you how happy we were with our entire Peru experience. My daughter and I felt very spoiled in that every need was met. We were greeted at every stop exactly when our itinerary said we would be met. The guides were fantastic and the sites we visited were amazing. The food was outstanding and with the exception of one hotel, they were all breathtaking (the Cusco accommodations were not that great). Because of your attention and recommendations, Peru is now........ Lisa Larson, USA
