Our Machu Picchu tours help you experience one of the world’s great, must-see treasures, while the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu treks not only introduce you to the lost city of the Incas, but also guide you through the most popular trek in the Andes along the way. But while these destinations are wonderful, Peru offers much more. From flying over the mysterious Nazca Lines to hiking to the immense Colca Canyon; from cruising on beautiful Lake Titicaca with a homestay on Taquile Island to exploring the Amazon rainforest; as well as the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Lima and Cuzco, Peru holds many wonders. And Best Andes Travel® has the expertise to provide you with an unforgettable trip.

Our packaged group trips and custom-designed Peru tours and treks offer once-in-a-lifetime adventures for travelers of all experience levels, from those who want to challenge themselves on multi-day treks through the Andes mountains, to those who prefer a leisurely stay at wildlife reserves or cultural trips, and everyone in between.

Trekkers interested in hiking less-traveled trails in the Andes enjoy our Moonstone to Machu Picchu Trek, Choquequirao, and Ausangate Inn to Inn Treks, which offer serene beauty and remote vistas amid spectacular high mountain scenery. On our challenging 6 day Cordillera Blanca Trek in Northern Peru, you hike in striking scenery of Peru's highest peaks surrounding you at 20,000'.

Non-trekkers can explore the magnificent diversity of Peru through our hotel-based cultural trips: Machu Picchu Odyssey, Machu Picchu and Amazon Adventure, or Andes and Amazon Explorer.

Combine the best of treks and culture on Empire of the Incas, a 15-day trip that combines the Inca Trail Trek with Lake Titicaca and a homestay on Taquile Island, as well as exploring Cuzco, Machu Picchu, and fantastic Inca ruins.
