Discover Peru tours
From Lima’s coast to the Andes and the Amazon, see Peru’s great sights
Peru tours bring together layered history, dramatic landscapes and a food scene that is now famous well beyond South America, while naturally linking the coast, the Andes and the rainforest. Many trips begin in Lima, where colonial streets, lively neighbourhoods and excellent museums set the context, before continuing to Cusco and the Sacred Valley, where Inca sites and market towns build toward Machu Picchu. If you would like to go beyond the headline sights, you can extend your itinerary to include Lake Titicaca and the Uros Islands, or add Arequipa for its white-stone architecture and calmer pace. You might also head to Colca Canyon to look for condors, or spend time in the Amazon near Puerto Maldonado and Iquitos for wildlife-rich river and jungle experiences. Choose a group tour for a sociable journey, or go private for added flexibility, with guided visits where they matter most and free time built in between.

Peru tours at a glance
Trip and guiding style
Peru tours operate as both group and private trips, and many itineraries use local guides for key visits and overland travel. Some trips are fully guided from start to finish, while others combine guided days with independent time, depending on the route and travel style. Selected programs can also connect Peru with Ecuador, the Galapagos, Bolivia and other nearby highlights.
Accommodation
Where you sleep depends on the tour, and accommodation options can include hostels, 2 star hotels, 3 star hotels, 4 star hotels, 5 star hotels and camping. Some trips also use a jungle lodge, eco-lodge, deluxe jungle lodge, overnight buses, a Deluxe Amazon Cruise, a luxury Amazon cruise, the deluxe Zafiro Cruiser and the Andean Explorer luxury sleeper train. Due to availability, a similar standard may be used.
Trip pacing
Most trips run at a medium pace, balancing guided sightseeing with time to explore on your own, although the day-to-day rhythm can vary by itinerary. Fitness needs range from easy cultural tours to demanding treks, and some routes reach high altitude in the Andes, which can affect how you feel. Early starts are also common on key days, particularly for travel connections and major sites.

What you'll see in Peru
Iconic Inca sites, Andean cities, lake life and rainforest wildlife across Peru
Many Peru tours start in Lima, where historic streets, busy plazas and varied museums introduce the country’s cultural mix. From there you travel into the Andes, with Cusco as a natural base for Inca heritage, local markets and everyday life at altitude. Most itineraries also include the Sacred Valley, visiting sites such as Pisac and Ollantaytambo, before a scenic train journey to Machu Picchu. For a broader view of the country, consider destinations beyond the classic loop. Arequipa is known for its bright white-stone buildings and relaxed feel, while Colca Canyon delivers vast views and the chance to spot condors on the thermals. Puno and Lake Titicaca add time on the water, including trips to the Uros Islands, and the Amazon near Puerto Maldonado and Iquitos offers boat rides, guided walks and frequent wildlife sightings. Some coastal itineraries also include Paracas and the Ballestas Islands, the desert landscapes near Ica, and, on longer routes, the Nasca Lines.

Why visit Peru
Rich history, huge landscapes and varied itineraries, with support that suits the trip style
Peru suits guided tours because it combines city culture, highland traditions and remote nature in a way that can be time-consuming to organize independently, especially when transport and altitude are involved. A well-planned itinerary links Lima, Cusco and the Sacred Valley, then connects you to Machu Picchu by train, giving you a clear structure alongside local knowledge where it adds the most value. travelers often love how much variety fits into one trip, from Lima’s plazas and museums to Inca sites around Cusco, with striking changes in scenery as you move through the Andes. Tours also make it easier to include places that feel further out, such as Lake Titicaca and the Uros Islands, without having to piece together every transfer. In the same way, adding the Amazon near Puerto Maldonado or Iquitos can be straightforward when logistics are already arranged. You can choose a travel style that matches your preferences, with group tours offering a social atmosphere and private tours giving a quieter, more flexible pace. Many trips include guided time in the key locations, then leave room for independent exploring, which helps you strike a comfortable balance between support and freedom.
