Imagine stepping into a land where lush mountains kiss the skies, ancient ruins whisper stories of the past, and vibrant cultures dance around you. Welcome to Peru, a country that embodies history, mystery, and adventure. Whether you’re seeking private Peru trips or all-inclusive Peru vacation packages, this South American gem offers a myriad of experiences that promise to captivate your soul.

Embark on Unique Private Experiences in Peru

Discover a side of Peru that few travelers see by indulging in private experiences tailored just for you. Consider a personalized archeological tour that will lead you through the timeworn stones of Machu Picchu at sunrise, a serene moment available to only a select few. Imagine wandering through the mist-shrouded Sacred Valley with an expert guide by your side, who unravels the secrets of the Incan Empire with each step.

For a touch of natural wonder, privately explore the Amazon Rainforest. Here, secluded lodges set the stage for bespoke jungle excursions, offering a chance to encounter exotic wildlife and untouched landscapes. These private trips allow you to connect deeply with nature while enjoying luxurious comfort, far from the usual tourist paths.

Captivating Cultural Encounters

Private experiences in Peru are not limited to natural and historical sites. Engage deeply with Peruvian culture through exclusive encounters with local artisans in Lima or Cusco. Participate in intimate workshops where you can learn the art of weaving or pottery from masters upholding generations of tradition. These private experiences provide unique insights into the rich tapestry of Peruvian culture and craft.

Don’t miss out on dining privately under the Andean stars, where you can savour traditional Peruvian flavours crafted by renowned local chefs. Picture yourself amidst terraced farmlands, dining alfresco with views that stretch across landscapes painted by ancient hands. Each bite is a taste of the region's history and a memory etched into your journey.

Peru Vacation Packages Made Personal

Curating the perfect Peru vacation packages means crafting journeys that reflect your interests and pace. Whether you’re drawn to adrenaline-pumping adventures or relaxing wellness retreats, Peru offers a spectrum of opportunities.

Adventurous souls might find themselves trekking the rugged beauty of the Cordillera Blanca or white-water rafting along the tumultuous Urubamba River. In contrast, those seeking relaxation could unwind on the tranquil beaches of Mancora or indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments influenced by ancient Andean practices.

The beauty of private Peru trips lies in the ability to tailor every detail. Work with travel experts to ensure your itinerary includes both the bucket-list attractions and the hidden treasures that speak to your heart.

Engage with Local Festivals and Traditions

Timing your travels to coincide with Peru’s vibrant festivals can transform your journey into a celebration. Participate in the dazzling Inti Raymi festival, held each June in Cusco, where traditional music, dance, and pageantry bring the Incan sun god festival to life. Opt for private tours of these festivals to enjoy reserved seating and exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the celebrations.

These experiences offer a window into the Peruvian spirit and ensure that your trip is rich with cultural engagement and personal discovery.

Practical Tips for a Memorable Adventure

  • Climate Considerations: Fortunately, Peru offers diverse climates, from coastal deserts to Andean highlands. Pack layers to accommodate the varying weather.
  • Health and Safety: Vaccinations are recommended for visits to the Amazon. Altitude sickness can affect visitors in high-altitude regions; taking time to acclimatize is essential.
  • Language and Etiquette: While Spanish is predominant, brushing up on a few Quechua phrases can enrich your interactions with locals.
  • Technology and Connectivity: Many rural areas lack consistent internet access, which can be refreshing as it encourages immersion in your surroundings.

Let your Peruvian journey be more than just a vacation. With tailored private experiences and thoughtfully designed vacation packages, etch your own story into the ancient landscapes and vibrant cultures of this breathtaking nation. Whether it’s through the quiet whispers of history in sacred ruins or the exuberant celebrations of today’s traditions, Peru promises an expedition unlike any other.

For a unique experience visit an indigenous village high in the Andes for a Pachamama ceremony. I was fortunate to participate in one and the warmth of the people and how simple they lived, really touched my heart.

May to October is the best time to visit as it is the dry season with sunny days, clear skies, ideal for trekking and enjoy the landscape. However like in all Latin countries, the weather is unpredictable, so be ready if any rain show up during a sunny day

Everyone should make sure they try a Pisco sour - It's Peru’s national cocktail—a smooth, citrusy, and slightly foamy drink made with pisco, a type of grape brandy. It’s both refreshing and strong, with a sweet-tart balance and a signature foamy top from egg white.

I worked with Maria S. from Goway Travel to build a tailored trip to the Azores and mainland Portugal. Maria provided excellent, responsive and patient service, never pressured me into making decisions, offered multiple options for managing pricing, answered my many questions clearly and fully, and always met the timelines she would set to get back to me. Once I was on my trip, Maria checked in several times even though there was an operator on the ground at my destination; she even resolved a minor mix-up with one of my hotels and arranged for a special surprise on my birthday. I cannot speak highly enough of Maria's professionalism, follow-through, positivity, attention to detail and responsiveness. I highly recommend Goway and Maria for your travel plans, and will definitely use this company again for my future travels. Thank you so much for making my trip to Portugal so memorable, Maria!

Extremely delighted we took this trip to Bali with Goway. Ameet was fantastic. He helped me save on my flights and also guided me on the right hotel decisions. Extremely Charming and always a pleasure to chat to. We enjoyed the Komodo islands a lot thanks to our specialist who made the recommendation. Hid guidance on the places and restaurants was spot on and we and my gf enjoyed the trip so much. We will consider using Goway and Ameet for our Honeymoon as well.Garth Cutos

Touching base after our trip. As usual you did a great job helping plan and execute an amazing travel experience!! Everything was fantastic. Especially our hotel location. Since it's connected to the Victoria station it made getting around very easy. Thanks again for your help I'm sure we'll be booking our next trip soon...Leigh Ferris

We recently completed a trip to Crete, Greece - our third trip with GoWay - and I have run out of superlatives to laud their efforts. This was a self drive trip, and as has been our experience with GoWay, we were permitted to customize the standard offered itinerary to suit our personal preferences. Brooke, our agent on this trip, went the extra mile to make all the adjustments we requested, including providing for an English-speaking guide at the Phaistos archeological site. The hotels which Brooke booked on our behalf were truly excellent, and - again, per our wish - just outside of the urban chaos of Heraklion, Rethymno and Chania, but close enough to readily access the cities' benefits. Each hotel was a beachside sanctuary, and we spent several serene, idyllic days never leaving the hotel, and yet there was plenty of time for more distant and adventurous sight seeing. I cannot overstate how happy we have been with our GoWay experiences - most notably in their willingness to listen to our preferences and make those manifest in the itinerary - and this most recent trip just confirms our already positive opinion of GoWay, and we will be certain to consider them again for our next travel adventure.Frank Venuti

Venessa Lloyd at GoWay organized a trip to Africa for us- We just returned last week. It was very well organized and included everything we requested, and more. We did two safaris - one in Tanzania and one in South Africa. They were both excellent, with first class accommodations and guides. We absolutely would recommend GoWay and Vanessa to anyone. Sandra

Overall, the hotel and tours were amazing. We had issues with communicating with the driver. At times I was asked where, I was gone. The local company handled the situation and there were minor issues after. I would recommend a local English-speaking guide every day. My clients loved the trip. The area we stayed in had many restaurants and local markets nearby. I recommend the cooking class, flamenco dance show, wine tasting and taps tour, and the city tour. Jolynn Tizeno

Ani M was absolutely amazing to work with! I actually chose Goway for our group trip because of her recommendations. She was the only agent who took the time to explain that we really needed to split our travels into two separate trips if we wanted to experience everything on our wish list, and I really appreciated her honesty and guidance. Throughout the planning process, Ani was incredibly helpful and answered ALL of my questions, even when I asked the same ones more than once! She was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. I enjoyed working with her and her team so much that I already have another group trip planned with her, and I expect we'll be planning another one soon! The guides during our Scotland trip were wonderful as well. Ian Short was the BEST! He was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy the experience. He even worked in sightseeing stops we didn't know we needed to see, and those little extras made the trip even better. The entire experience was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. I'm already looking forward to our next adventure to Ireland with Goway and working with Ani and their team again!Angela Butler
