Find the right local agency for you
What does an authentic, custom trip to Peru actually look like?
Authenticity is about aligning the trip with your personal aspirations and connecting with the soul of the country. It is a delicate balance between essential sites and experiences found off the beaten path.
Explore beyond the main tourist path
Of course, Machu Picchu is a dream, Cusco is a colonial wonder, and Lake Titicaca is a sacred expanse. But Peru is so much more than that.
Alternatives to classic treks
Consider the Salkantay trek or the Lares trek for a different approach to reaching Machu Picchu, winding through breathtaking Andean landscapes while meeting local mountain communities.
Lesser-known archaeological gems
Let yourself be surprised by the citadel of Choquequirao, the "cradle of gold" often compared to Machu Picchu for its grandeur but rarely crowded. You can also explore the mysteries of Kuelap, the fortress of the Chachapoyas, in the north.
Immersive, unique experiences
Authenticity is found in the moments you share with others.
Connection and hospitality
Imagine spending a night on an island in Lake Titicaca, sharing the daily routine of a local family and learning about their ancestral traditions. It is a truly unforgettable human experience.
Awaken your senses
Participate in a cooking workshop to master the secrets of ceviche, try your hand at the art of Andean weaving, or get lost in the melodies of a traditional peña.
Explore diverse ecosystems
Head to the Cordillera Blanca for massive alpine panoramas, explore the marine life of the Pacific coast at Paracas, or dive into the lush density of the Peruvian Amazon.
A trip that really reflects you
The secret ingredient to an authentic trip? It is YOU. Your passions, your pace, and your travel habits are what matter. Your local agency is there to listen and translate your desires into an itinerary that fits you perfectly.

How much does a custom trip to Peru cost?
Budget is a fundamental question. A custom trip to Peru is an investment in memories, and the cost can vary significantly. The advantage of a local agency is their ability to optimize every dollar spent.
Factors that influence your budget
- Length of stay
- Time of year
- Type of accommodations
- Activities and excursions
- Number of travelers
Benchmarks to estimate your investment
It is difficult to provide an exact price without knowing your preferences, but here is a rough guide:
- For a 10-12 day discovery tour (excluding international flights), with comfortable accommodations and the major sites, expect to pay starting from 1800€ - 2500€ per person (about $1,900 - $2,650).
- For a more complete 15-20 day adventure, including less-frequented regions or multi-day treks, the budget can range from 2800€ - 4000€+ per person (about $3,000 - $4,250+).
These figures are purely indicative. Custom travel means adapting to your specific financial plan.
Optimize your budget with local expertise
A local agency will advise you on the best options to stay within your budget, such as smart accommodation choices, alternative routes, or more favorable travel periods. They know the tricks to maximize your experience without breaking the bank.

When is the best time to visit Peru? And when should you book?
Peru is a massive country with varied climates. Choosing the right time and booking in advance are keys to a successful trip.
Peru by season: what climate to expect
You can visit Peru year-round, but each season has its own character depending on the region.
Dry season (May to October): ideal for the Andes
This is the most popular time to visit Cusco, Machu Picchu, and go trekking. The sky is usually clear, and daytime temperatures are pleasant, though nights at altitude are cold. This is the high tourist season.
Rainy season (November to April): other facets of Peru
In the Andes, rains are more frequent, often in the late afternoon, but the landscapes are lush and green. This is a quieter and often less expensive period. On the coast (Lima, Paracas), it is summer, which means warm and sunny weather. In the Amazon, rains are more intense, but it is also when wildlife is active and the rivers are high, making navigation easier.
Book in advance for peace of mind
- For high season (May-October): Ideally, start planning 6 to 9 months in advance, especially if you want to include high-demand sites like the Inca Trail or specific boutique hotels.
- For shoulder or low season: 3 to 6 months in advance may be enough, but the earlier you start, the more choice and flexibility you will have.
A piece of advice: Don't wait until the last minute, especially for a custom trip that requires time to refine every detail.
What are the entry requirements for Peru?
Preparing for your trip includes handling the administrative side. Here is the essential information (note: these details are for US citizens; please verify if your citizenship is different):
- Passport: Must be valid at least 6 months beyond your planned return date.
- Visa: US citizens do not need a visa for tourist stays of less than 90 days.
- Vaccines: No mandatory vaccines (unless coming from a country with endemic yellow fever). Universal vaccines should be up to date. Consult your doctor.
- Travel insurance: ESSENTIAL! Must cover medical expenses, emergency evacuation, and repatriation.
- Currency: The Peruvian Sol (PEN). US dollars are sometimes accepted, and credit cards are widely used in cities.
Important: This information is provided for guidance only. You must verify entry requirements and health recommendations with the nearest embassy, consulate, or official government travel portal before your departure.
