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.

Our rep at GoWay, Kimberly, was fantastic from start to finish. She came up with the exact itinerary we wanted for Melbourne, Uluru, Cairns and Sydney, and assisted us with both international and domestic flights to help us get the best rates. Once we were on the trip, everything flowed seamlessly and every tour and transport was on time.Lisa Wildes

As a travel agent, this is not the first time I’ve chosen to work with Goway for organizing my clients’ trip, this time to Chile, and once again, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, I could count on truly professional service from Susanna. My clients are very experienced travelers and requested a highly customized itinerary, including many unique experiences that are not typically included in standard tour programs. There were also several occasions when, on behalf of my clients, I requested changes to an already prepared itinerary. Susanna was consistently helpful, patient, understanding, and — just as importantly — incredibly kind and pleasant to work with. It was clear that she genuinely cared about creating the best possible experience for my clients. I’m also certain that much of the work she put in went well beyond standard hours and expectations. My clients returned absolutely delighted with their vacation, which is always the greatest confirmation of a job well done. Thank you, Susanna, for your dedication and exceptional support. And thank you, Goway, for another wonderful experience!Beata

Our family trip to Machu Picchu was absolutely incredible, thanks to RuthAnne Leonty. Every tour was thoughtfully organized and the guides were top-notch.

We booked our 3,week tour of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and overall it was an excellent experience. I typically book my own travel, but travelling with a group and wanting tours in each destination made GoWay a great choice. We had great hotels and good guides in each city. I will say that our standout guide was Romeo Tran in Ho Chi Minh City. We spent a few days in the city, as well as an over night boat ride on the delta, and he was fantastic. We had alot of fun with him, and would highly recommend him in particular. Neil Braun

We booked a Viking cruise (Venice to Athens) through Goway Travel and it was fantastic! Our agent Kimberly was extremely helpful with air travel options, choosing excursions, and suggestions for pre and post cruise activities. Great communications and a really enjoyable experience.Stanley

We booked through Paula Williamson in the Toronto office, a Great Journeys New Zealand trip and it was fantastic! Although I had already scheduled a trip on The Ghan train in Australia, Paula helped me work it all as one huge 45 day trip including Bali Indonesia. My favorite was the New Zealand trip as I’d never been there before and the tour guide Toni was so spectacular and caring. I’m so pleased Goway was involved and I didn’t require any additional assistance once We'd started the first flight March 8. If we do another overseas trip, Goway will be involved.John

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak

Our first trip with Goway was a total joy. Shalini worked with me to plan a trip for 5 adults to Portugal. She is a gem! Always responded quickly and offered great suggestions for activities, worked with our preferences and created an ideal itinerary for a week in Porto and Lisbon. The tours were excellent with engaging local guides. The food tour in Lisbon was a highlight. Everything was top notch - flight schedule, hotels, activities, even the weather! Patricia
