Overview of our guided Peru tours

Erik's Adventures offers an exciting range of Peru vacations that can be booked year-round by groups, and for individuals- you may join in on any of our set date trip departures. Our Peru Hiking Tour Salkantay Trekking to Machu Picchu planned for next fall, offers our guests a challenging multi-sport trip with an Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu and plenty of activities and adventure tours.  Meanwhile, our Peru Singles Vacation- Lares Valley Trekking Tour  last run in October of 2011, gives our guests a shorter Inca Trail trekking option and takes you off the beaten path away from large numbers of other hikers. For the ultimate challenge, in 2012, we are offering a Peru Running tour: Marathon Race (26.2 miles) on the Classic Inca Trail July 2012 that will allow participants to run the Inca trail in one day in a marathon race and finish at Machu Picchu, Peru!

For our guests who prefer hotel stays and day tours instead of hiking and camping tours, we have a non-trekking trip that is highlighted with a visit to Machu Picchu by train. We also offer a variety of other Peru tours including an Amazon Rainforest 7 day Tour, Lake Titicaca, Lima, Arequipa, Nazca Lines, other Inca Trail Treks to Machu Picchu or in other parts of the Andes mountains (ie Cordillera Blanca and Huaraz), and more. For all adventure travel programs please note that for singles travelers we provide roommate matching if you do not want to pay the single supplement for any of our Peru hiking tours or group trips.

Why take a Peru vacation with Erik's Adventures

We like to differentiate our guided Peru tours by personalizing the adventure to our clients' needs, while still staying within the context of an organized group trip. From a particular local food our guests would like to try, to a certain local craft they need but can't find, we take it upon ourselves to make the experience special. Lastly, we always like to add some spontaneity for our guests. From an unscheduled stop to pick avocados from a local farmer's orchard near Machu Picchu for a delicious trail snack, to a quick hike from the campsite on the Inca Trail to a hidden crystal clear spring for a refreshing drink, we like to add special touches to all our guided Peru tours. With a balance of fully guided tours, special inclusions, off the beaten path attractions, and free time, Erik's Adventures offers a unique and memorable Peru vacation!
