Peru Adventure Tours and Day Trips

Peru is a fantastic destination for adventure and specialist activities such as rafting, mountain biking, trekking, horse riding, and nature observation tours particularly as the majestic Andes mountains run down the entire spine of the country. As well as being the second highest mountain range in the world, it is also the world´s longest and the highest tropical mountain range, meaning there are more rugged, beautiful areas and flora and fauna at higher altitudes.

We at Escaped to Peru know a lot about being outdoors in Peru, so feel free to ask for our opinions about the selection of activities below which we can easily add into your tour.

Trekking and Hiking - Inca Trail, Salcantay Trek, day walks and more!

Cusco, Machu Picchu Inca Trail Trek Trek along the classic Inca Trail for 4 days to visit Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas. Also included in this Peru vacation are tours in Cusco and the Sacred valley of the Incas. 7 Day Package from US$ 950 / GBP 625 / AUD 1025
Salcantay Trek to Machu Picchu This is a spectacular trek passing the beautiful Salcantay peak. Salcantay is revered as an "Apu" or Mountain God to local people. This is another way to arrive at Machu Picchu experiencing culture, varied landscapes and fauna en route. 4 Night Trek from US$ 410 / GBP 269 / AUD 445
Lares Trek and Machu Picchu A great alternative to the classic Inca Trail ending at Machu Picchu by train after 3 days trekking in amazing countryside.

Day Walks around Cusco We have a nice range of day trips around Cusco where you can get away from the crowds, see ruins otherwise not seen and marvel at the lovely countryside and its interesting people. Ask us for advice. Day Walks from US$ 35 / GBP 23 / AUD 39
Ausangate Trek This is one of the best, and hardest, treks in South America. The views are incredible all the way around the route, high passes, glacial lakes, remote alpaca farms and lovely campsites. After the trek you can visit Machu Picchu on an extension. 6 Day Trek from US$ 600 / GBP 625 / AUD 1025
Choquequirao Trek This Inca site is amazing, much like Machu Picchu, perched on a mountain with comanding views of the Apurimac Valley.

Rafting and Horse Riding - Urubamba, Apurimac, Sacred Valley and more!

Rafting in the Sacred Valley A fun day out for all enjoying an alternative way to see the beautiful Sacred Valley of the Incas. Rafting is a fun sport, suitable for pretty much anyone - no experience is necessary and its easily added to your tour. Day trips from US$ 45 / GBP 23 / AUD 39
Raft the Amazon Source Twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, the Apurimac gives you adrenaline-pumping rapids (up to class 4+), tranquil pools and pristine sandy beaches, bleached rocks, rare wildlife, great campsites, fine food and great guides. 3 Day Adventures from US$ 595/ GBP 395 / AUD 659

Mountain Biking - Salineras, Sacred Valley and more!

Biking in the Sacred Valley This ride is one of the best day trips in Peru, taking us on a largely downhill route across the Chinchero plain and into the Sacred Valley of the Incas past the spectacular Moray circular ruins and through the incredible saltpans of Maras. Day trips from US$ 75 / GBP 49 / AUD 85
Hot Springs and Single Track Biking around Lares offers some of the best down-hills in the world.
