Adventure Travel in Peru

For those seeking adventure travel, the Andes are like a red rag to a bull; an irresistible corner of the world covered with snow-capped peaks, motionless lakes and shimmering cloudforests. You’ll have the chance to meet indigenous communities deep in the heart of the country way beyond the tourist routes and take part in valuable community volunteering work with important volunteer projects. We start in Lima, which, after our rough an dusty tour will be a welcome place to catch our breath and clean up, but for now is a handy place to get acclimatised to the mountains.

Peru Gap Year Travel

i-to-i's adventure tours in Peru guarantee an unique travel experience as you mingle with Incan descendents in the ancient capital of Cuzco and navigate the Andes (and the odd llama) en route to the lost city of Macchu Picchu, perched above the clouds. As wonderful as they are, there’s even more to Peru than dramatic valleys and snow-capped peaks, as you’ll see on the rest of this adventure tour. See the legacy of Spanish rule come alive through distinctive architecture and historic buildings before setting off for the beautiful mountain scenery of the Lares Valley to do some conservation volunteer work at a local reforestation volunteer project. This is a great opportunity to see a side of Peru most tourists miss as you visit traditional villages and work with local people.
