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.

We just returned from an incredible 2-week trip to Brazil, and it exceeded every expectation. This was our first time using Goway, and RuthAnne absolutely knocked it out of the park. What Made It Special: Exceptional Guides - Every guide RuthAnne selected was outstanding. Our Rio guide was probably the best we've ever had anywhere in the world. Our Iguazu Falls guide was equally fantastic—knowledgeable, personable, and made the experience unforgettable. Every guide was excellent throughout our journey. Amazon Experience - The Amazon River portion was breathtaking. Incredible venue, exceptional staff, and truly memorable excursions. Perfect Planning - Every detail was thoughtfully arranged. Timing, accommodations, activities—everything flowed seamlessly. RuthAnne clearly knows Brazil inside and out and matched us with the perfect experiences for our family. We felt taken care of every step of the way. Bottom Line: We'll absolutely be using Goway again for our next adventure. Traveled as a family of four - would recommend for couples, families, or anyone seeking a hassle-free, world-class experience.Ethan Davenport

We just returned from a 2 week tour of South Africa, Zimbabwe(Victoria Falls) and Botswana, and had a fabulous time! This was the third tour I've used Goway, and as usual, it was such a positive experience! The accommodations that were booked were awesome! The hotels were luxurious, clean and the staff, all so warm and welcoming! Our travel agent, Vanessa Lloyd, did a fabulous job arranging everything, and was always available to answer my many questions! We'll be using them again, next year when we take a family trip to the Greek Islands and Turkey! They are always consistent in the quality of the hotels and experiences, and I highly recommend them for your travel needs!Fran Nitta Barnes

We are still on our journey in Italy. At Capri now and heading to the Amalfi Coast. So far, we can’t thank Goway enough for putting our itinerary together so quickly. Everything is going well and hope the next 10 days are perfect too. Gladys Vivian

Can't say enough good things about Goway Travel. From the very start, our travel rep, Harpreet, listened carefully to what we were hoping to see and do on our first trip to Japan. She asked great questions and then came back to us with a detailed itinerary packed with adventure and fun, and all within our travel budget. From the moment we took off from LAX, Harpreet had made sure we had every tour voucher, hotel voucher, plane ticket, train ticket, literally every detail covered. All we had to do was follow our itinerary. Also, Harpreet booked us into terrific hotels. Each one was spotlessly clean, comfortable, included a full (and delicious) breakfast and, most importantly, was centrally located to all of the activities she had planned for us. So everything was a 5 or 10-minute walk away. In three weeks' time we were able to visit six cities and so many fascinating shrines, temples, castles, imperial palaces - most of which were World Heritage sites. Harpreet also tucked in fabulous "experiences" like learning how to make sushi with a professional chef, enjoying a tea ceremony and watching graceful Geishas dance. My husband and I are seasoned travelers. But we don't speak Japanese and we really knew very little about the country. There is no way we would have been able to see and do all of the fascinating things we did in Japan if we hadn't chosen Goway Travel to be our guide. Many thanks for an unforgettable trip!

Great country (Italy), great people and love the feel you get by just being you. Ingrid Aird did a great job with a pair of tours one private and one group. Organizing pickup from airport and flights. Hotel, Enterprise Hotel, after a bit of a rough start getting us into a proper room, was more than excellent.Thomas Helps

We were looking forward to a magical vacation in Greece, and Goway Travel delivered on all fronts. This is the second time that we have booked with them (the first being an incredible excursion in Thailand), and everything went along swimmingly. Only on one occasion did a tour go sideways, but our Goway specialist (Patrick) took care of it for us. When your tour involves many flights, numerous hotels, various tours, ferries, and transfers, it is nice to know that your travel specialist can handle it all. Goway (from Patrick to all the other staff involved) handled everything in such a professional manner. Thanks Goway for such an incredible experience in Greece. I look forward to another adventure in the near future!Jenny Friess

We recently returned from France - three cities in two weeks - and our trip was fantastic! Jacqueline helped us with a return to France with no worries and concerns. Drivers met us at every destination- hotels were superb and the individual tours memorable. This is a return vacation with Goway and we could not be more pleased. The customer service is top notch and all questions answered promptly. For us seniors, we appreciate all the thoughtfulness and consideration.ElizaGray

While researching suppliers for a clients Thailand honeymoon, I remembered being referred to GoWay by a longterm TA ….because they “get it right and get it done!” I had already started their training modules, so I put in a quote. Immediately, Taylor responded with a very thorough email and we decided to chat. I gave him my specifics and he again responded immediately and matched my client’s travel needs 100%. I found it comforting to speak with a country expert with the knowledge I needed. My clients booked their vacation and are very excited about their itinerary! Thank you Taylor for making this process seamless.Karla B
