Peru Adventure Tours

Peru, the land of Inca legends, inspires wonder in all who visit or dream of exploring it. Follow ancient trails to Machu Picchu, explore its cultural treasures, or escape to the spectacular Cordillera Huayhuash—featuring six of Peru’s highest mountains.

Since 1970, MT Sobek has traveled deep in the heart of the Andes and continues to offer expert-led Peru adventure tours for all activity levels and interests. Our most popular experiences include an award-winning lodge-to-lodge hike along the Salkantay Trail, bucket-list challenges in the Cordillera Blanca or Cordillera Huayhuash, and a cultural journey with day hikes in the Sacred Valley. Along the way, you’ll enjoy an immersive experience as you explore hidden places and meet local people. We also make sure that you eat great food and sleep well in comfortable accommodations, while we take care of the logistics every step of the way.

On the Trail

There is nothing better than being out on the trail, feeling the breeze on your face and the rush of a spectacular view. Hiking days generally start early, after breakfast, and cover around 5 to 10 miles per day. Some days may include steep mountain paths, but there are plenty of rest stops on the way—plus a hearty lunch and dinner (per your itinerary).
